Bullying tactics

For many months I have been receiving request via email and calls from standard bank ro upgrade my account to the prestige banking account. I have refused, because I don't need the additional benefits they claim to give at the increased fees. I have now discovered, that my account number seems to be blocked for use as when someone tries to make a payment to me it says account number invalid. I had the same experience days ago when trying to apply for a credit approval, it said invalid bank account number. It seems standard bank os trying to force me to accept their offer of an upgraded account. Surely this is unacceptable business practices. I will be mov8ng all my account to FNB ASAP!!!

I undeniable all the market options as yo said in your call earlier this mornin and I just received another mail from the same person as before to upgrade my account....this is the worst service ever. And it still doesn't resolve that my account number is "invalid" when someon tries to make payment to me. how am I suppose to fix that????
