Handed over to attorneys but owe no money to Standard Bank

20 May I am disappointed to hear that after 4 years of having closed my Standard Bank account, I receive an email from MBD attorneys saying STDs bank has handed me over and demands R1 962 from them. I refuse to accept this and knowing myself having worked for a bank for 20 years that if the bank neglected to close my account t that after 3 months the account becomes dormant and gets closed. Please look into this as a matter of urgency. I will not accept this at all.

I am very upset about and want this resolved. I am under debt review and will not have my name tarnished. 22 May they responded from email *** Thank you for writing to us. I will gladly refer your e-mail with regards to your payment arrangement request to the relevant division. Please be advised that I have forwarded your enquiry to our Personal Lending division for assistance. The contact details are: - E-mail address: *** 22 May I again responded and emailed the email address they gave me but this came back as email address does not exist. I then responded back to the person who sent me the email.. This is not acceptable. I did not do any personal lending on the standard bank account. My balance was nil when I requested it to be closed. Now I get this R1 900 letter owing. Please log a complaint and give me a reference. I will be taking this to the ombusldsmann for banking. They responded on 24 May
