Shocking service ever

I am very disappointed with FNB.I opened a Gold cheque account on the 29th of August 2019.On the very day of opening the account I was asked to fill in some application forms including a foreign national declaration form.I submitted a copy of my passport,proof of residence and lastly a letter from my employer. After about a month my account was blocked, I visited the nearest FNB branch where I was told I needed to fill in a foreign national declaration form again.I did under protest.After making several calls to their call centre my account was unblocked. I was happy but my joy was short lived because after a few days there was a debt order of R45 which was deducted from my account for connect top up even though I am not using their FNB aim card.I refused the FNB sim card from the onset but the consultant instisted I should take it for it was for free.I went back to the branch where I laid a complaint with reference CAS 384888 but I haven't received my money back or heard from FNB. As if that is not enough yesterday I discovered that my account is blocked again this time at a petrol station fortunately I had some cash! Reason=I have to produce a copy of my passport and or proof of residence! I am so disappointed that someone is being paid for *****ing up customers? Thanks for your **** services and thanks God I haven't switched my salary yet.Bye FNB and Nedbank I am here!

Reviewer Update
Despite the fact that I received three calls from different FNB consultants yesterday and assurance that by the end of the yesterday I would be able to access my funds,I am still not satisfied with their poor service.The last consultant by the name Phumulo promised me that he would sort everything on my behalf and there was no need for me to revisit the branch.Regarding the issue of Connect top up he also promised that someone would contact me soon.That is it my account is still blocked and no feedback from FNB.This is the highest level of incompetence I have ever come across in my entire life!!You do not care about the inconvenience you putting me through!Now please you tell me how should I go about closing that account since it is blocked???
