FOSCHINI ROBBING CUSTOMERS BY CHARGING INTEREST ON INTEREST FREE ACCOUNTS

I have only ever purchased on the 6-month option and retained my Foschini account due to the six-month interest-free option. this is the 3rd time I have noticed interest charges on my statement. the two prior times I called in, and it was reversed. this is nonsense that I need to scrutinize my statement and now believe that TFG is not doing business in good faith! again this month, I noticed a charge of interest of almost R40.00. It seems TFG wants me to close my account with them. one o the excuses was their mobile section is not interest-free, I have never purchased any mobile products so how was that mistake made? how is the mistake recurring for the 3rd time? should I refer them to the consumer commissioner? totally unacceptable. I can only imaginehow many customers are being ****** in this manner.
