Paid in full. Confirmed. Now you want more money. Which is it, Standard Bank?

I paid off my vehicle finance account in full. Standard Bank confirmed in writing that my account has no arrears. Now their legal department is telling me I owe more money.

Which is it, Standard Bank?

Your own collections department confirmed zero balance in writing. A day later your legal department claims an additional amount is outstanding with no written breakdown and no explanation. Two departments. One institution. Two completely different answers within a day.

I have been your client since 2017. I have made full payment on this account. I have the proof.

I need three things resolved immediately. Written confirmation that this account is settled in full. My vehicle registration papers. A formal letter confirming closure of this account.

Not in due course. Not when it is convenient. Immediately.

If this is not resolved I will be taking this to the Ombudsman for Banking Services. The public deserves to know how Standard Bank treats clients who pay their accounts in full.
