SHOCKING!!!!

<p>Went to the Grahamstown branch to close to close my account in December 2016. I paid up my credit card but they still took 2 months' installments so they had to transfer it back into my cheque acc, they told me how much i had to pay into the acc to cover all costs (which i did) so that they can close my acc. Feb i went back into the bank coz i was still getting statements, acc still not closed because the credit card division never tranfered the funds. I sat there waiting for a consultant for 2 hours. In Apr i went back because i still got statements, acc still not closed. This time i spent 2 and a half hours in the bank because the consultant had to sit on the phone with the credit card division for what seemed like hours. It is July now and still my acc is not closed!!!! Today i received a sms to say that i have been handed over to LAWYERS!!!! All Standard Bank's fault!!!!!! Could they not put a note on my profile to alert other divisions that they are sorting out my issue??? (which was supposed to be sorted out months ago!!!) I refuse to go back into the branch coz i will lose my job if i have to go sit there for 2 hours everytime and also they gave me a form to fill in TWICE 'so that i dont have to go in to the branch again'....I phoned a few weeks ago, left my number, email adress (i have the reference no they gave me), and never got a response no one called me bac**** SHOCKING SERVICE!!!</p>

Hi Clint

Thanks for all your help with this matter, the credit card is now closed, which is something i also find strange because the last time i visited the bank the consultant told me she closed it, but anyway it is done now. Just so you know i sent my complaint to 'information' too and received a response yesterday that my account has been closed since 18 March 2015, HOW? When i only paid it up in September 2016?? So Clint this is the type of things Standard Bank clients deal with.

Sabrina at the branch has been good with sorting out my issue and she has been keeping me informed. They have yet to close the checque account also, but im sure that will be resolved soon

Thank you

Denise
