SAVE ME FROM THIS INSTITUTION!!

I cannot explain how sick of Standard Bank I am. I was made to go to a branch to physically be present to close my account. I went to the Nicolway Branch on 19 August. I was told the account was now closed and the balance of R86.36 would be transferred to my new bank. Never once asked why we had closed all our accounts with Standard Bank, i.e. Bond, C/C, Savings, Current Acc, fixed deposits - not a word. Anyway this month I get a bank statement saying I owe them R747.16 of which R720.00 was for bank charges!!! On what??? An account that was supposedly closed. There is no way you can phone this lot so this will mean another trip to the bank and more queues and not a whole lots of damns given!!!

Gordon Bila just phoned:
Now suddenly this unexpected charge of R700+ is my petrol card! A card I never had - go figure. OMG, will this nightmare called Standard Bank never end?Thank you Gordon for your call - but - as expected, nothing came of it.Standard Bank needs to clear and close this account IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!Do not tell me to go into any branch ever again - I WILL NOT DO IT.If this matter is not sorted out I will make this a legal matter. This is theft! The lady at the branch in August assured me the account was settled and CLOSED!
