Credit Card Account Closure Delay

I called on Thursday, 13 March, to request the closure of my credit card account, as I have fully paid it off. I was told it would be closed within 24 hours, yet as of today (Sunday), the account remains open.

This delay is unacceptable, especially with the monthly fee being charged on the 19th. I should not be held responsible for any additional charges due to the bank’s failure to process my request in a timely manner.

Please treat this matter as urgent and confirm the immediate closure of my account.

No one has contacted me to assist with closing the account!! This level of service is unacceptable. I have done my part by settling the balance and requesting closure. Please follow through. Ensure that this account is closed by end of today.
