Hidden charges on accounts

<p>I received an sms from Foshini saying that I owe R32 on my account. I have't made a purchse at Foshini in maybe a couple of years. I couldnt figure out how I could possibly owe them any money. Today I received a phone call from Foshini Customer Services notifying me about the benefits on my Foshini account- death benefits, lost card benefits etc...all costing me a total of R32 every two months. I was shocked. My response was: Who asked for these benefits?? I am not interested in any benefits that will cost me R32! They claim that I must have received a phone call from Foshini recently in which I authorised adding these benefits to my account (I can ssure you that did NOT happen!). Or I must have authorised it when I opened my account years ago. If this is so, it must have been deliberatetly hidden in the fine print and never actually pointed out to me . And I dont recall paying any R32 fee last year when I didnt make any purchases, so why did it only start now? They say that I should go to a Foshini store to sort this out. Why should I waste my petrol to remove something that I didnt ask for. I am going to put this on social media to warn all Foshini customers who are unaware. I have never experienced this with Edgars or Truworths- they are upfront with their costs. REMOVE THESE CHARGES FROM MY ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY! I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR SO CALLED BENEFITS.
