Credit Card Closure problem

I had a credit card from standard bank from 15/12/2014. In September year 2016 I requested a the amount I need to pay to close the account and it was given to me. I paid the whole amount and I phoned after paying to request a completion letter the response was that it will be emailed to me. Early in year 2017 I received massages requesting me to pay my credit card otherwise legal action will be taken against me . A couple of weeks later a guy from the legal department said I must make a payment arrangement. I went to the standard bank branch in prospecton where I received the credit card on their system it appeared that I am not owing and I was requested to call the card division. in the card division I was assured that the problem will be solved since it on their side. I repeated my visits for the same issue for 3 to 4 times . Even now it hasn't been resolved. I decided to write here because today my call was dropped at the after I explained my problem card division. My credit report shows that I am owing R143.00. After my visits in the bank to inquire on the 2nd and 26th of January 2018 I received this emails in each case:
