Personal Loan Account Paid Up but no closed

Hello I have been struggling with getting a personal loan account closed. I app**** for credit life insurance where the first 6 months installments were paid. I was still unemployed after the 6 months therefore I submitted another claim. My balance was less than the 6 months installments so they paid the whole balance. I then later discovered that this account is not closed. I phoned in asking for this account to be closed in August 2019 after the balance was paid off. I phone in again in September where I was told that I need to visit the branch in order to close the account. I went to the vanderbijlpark branch where a consultant connected me to the call centre and they recorded my details and said they would call me back. I have been following this up with no luck and I do not have the reference numbers for my calls. All calls were recorded even when I phoned the call centre. Please can you assist me to close this account as it keeps accumulating interests and is affecting my ITC.

God day

Please can you assist me in getting this matter resolved. I have not received any contact. I also sent an email to the credit life claim department to send me the settlement amount proof of payment into this loan. I have not received this also.
