FNB taking my money after settlement was paid

i am have the most poor and frustrating time with FNB trying to close my credit card. i am being sent from pillar to post with no assistance on getting this account closed. everyone i am talking to cant seem to close this account and even after the settlement amount was paid on 29 January 2024 in full with extra credit, a debit order still went off. i went in to the branch with promises of the account being closed today, but instead of that happening, interest fees were charged, service fees were charged and account fees were charged, this is after a settlement amount was paid and closure of the account was requested. i received a settlement letter with an amount, which means all fees should be included as i wished to settle te account, withing an hour of receiving this settlement letter i paid the full amount plus a bit extra for incase there is fees, but no more was needed. i am a client at FNB for more that 15 years now and never ever have i experienced this type of service until now that i wish to close my account. they are steeling money from me. currently i paid over a R1200 more than what the settlement letter stated with the interest, service, account fee and debit order that went off. today i requested to speak to a manager, big and long promises were made that they will call me... well guess what, it is now 19:03 and i have not received a call. i am so so so upset that my bank, that is suppose to protect me as their client os busy *****ing my money and coming with stories that this is a credit card rule .. seriously...i have photos and screenshots of interactions with the chat services people also with no help. i want my money paid back and i want my freaken account closed 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Good day,

Thank you for the reply under ref no. ***NF.

Is it possible to inform me when i can expect any feedback from FNB as this query/ request is now unsolved for 8 days today.

I do not think it is fair to leave me in the dark or make me wait another 5 days with me having to follow up every day because I dont receive feedback or updates as what exactly is happening or going on now.

I wish to receive resolvement updates as soon as possible on what is the road ahead from here.

I wish to know what to expect and how things will be dealt with.

regards
Shandri

This is now starting to annoy me. Since i have posted this comment and received the reply no one came in contact with me. Tomorrow we are at Friday again, going on week 2 of this not being resolve .. something that was supposed to only take 5 working days.. I guess at month end i will again be charged fees on this account, that is why this is not resolved 😡😡😡 What more should we do to protect what is ours. Its because the banks know we have no other solution than to run back to them for updates. It makes me sick to my stomach that we are left in the dark and have to watch how our money gets taken from us without any one fighting with us to protect it. When did FNB become this ridiculous? It was always a great Bank, i loved that they looked after me, but as the years passed they began to slip up more. I am so saddened by what is happening. I am constantly following up by emails and not receiving even ONE respond. NOT EVEN ONE. No contact is being made. I am truely and utterly disappointed in FNB. My family members and friends that is also FNB client is all considering moving their personal and some their business accounts to other banks. They now see what's going on and they dont want to fall in the same fire as i did. And this was not even my doing BUT FNB all by themself. People that care for you always want to protect you and when it is sectors like this, the people that love you will leave that sector as the notice the frustration caused in your life. I am demanding feedback, this account was settled on 29 January 2024, how is it still open and how is there still fees and debit order charged after the settlement letter and settlement payment was made? HOW??
