Harassment from Standard Bank

<p>I had been a loyal client to Standard Bank, but decided to cut ties due to bad service. During the time of myself being a client of theirs, I entered into a debt consolidation arrangement with them.</p> <p>I moved on to another bank and was first advised that I could not close my account, as this money was still due. In the interim, I was paying the amount due into my cheque account on a monthly basis, but was now being charged bank charges, until the point that I arranged with them that I would pay directly into the debt consolidation account. I did however encounter financial difficulties, and only paid a certain amount back at the end of one month. I indicated to them that I would not be able to pay that amount, but have stuck to paying my obligatory amount since then and that they should add the outstanding amount to my existing loan amount.</p> <p>I firstly, started getting numerous messages, calls, etc regarding the outstanding bank charges on my cheque account, which was a measly amount of R600.00, of up to 8 calls a day! This amount was duly settled. They have now starting harassing me about the outstanding amount on the debt consolidation amount, whereby just for today, I have received 8 calls on an almost hourly basis, as well as our office being called. SMS being sent threatening me with legal action.</p> <p>This is blatant harassment!</p>
