***** by Standard Bank

I have a savings account with Standard Bank. In 2012, a cheque account was opened in my name in their Nelspruit branch (I haven't been to Nelspruit for more then 10 years) without documents nor my signature. I have since been struggling with Standard bank to close this account. On the 26th October 2017, a debit order went off my savings account for R3179.00 to pay for this cheque account (which I did not open), I did NOT authorize the money to be taken from my account. I then went into the branch and logged a complaint about this, dealt with multiple people:

One stated that they WILL NOT close the account until I have paid it up. I explained that I was not the one who opened the account and yet they say I must pay for it.

I spoke to their lawyers and told them this is *****, and I will see them in court as there are no binding contracts or documents for this cheque account. I never heard back from them about the court date. Now the debit order went off, and they say I will not get my money back or close the account.

Standard bank is *****ing from me and I am ready to take them to court over this.
