Long standing card closure failure

I want to express the great disservice I have received from Standard bank. It so happened in 2024 that I was no longer using my SB account and I requested for the closure of that account(looking to pay the arrears at the time that were due to the bank), however I've been given the run around, I even went as far as going to the bank, a branch in Braamfontein Johannesburg and the consultant I spoke to did advise that the monthly fees will be stopped and I just need to make payment of what I owe but it continues to accumulate monthly interest and this if really treating a client unfairly. May you kindly look into this and close my account as I know I am liable for what I owed but the arrears that were accumulated after my closure request would need to be recalculated and failure to do so would mean we need to resolve this with the Ombudsman.

Regards Nyiko ***

I am writing this email to show gratitude for the prompt response I got from Standard bank. My query was resolved in one call of which I truly appreciate. The lady I spoke to- Yolanda, was very professional and understood my concern. We need more companies with such resulute conflict resolution management. Thank you kindly.
