Standard Bank Homeload continues to ignore account closure requests.

I sent an email to Standard Bank on Tuesday, 24 June 2025 at 09:21, requesting that my homeloan be cancelled as it had been paid up. It is now 11 November. They initially continued to deduct installments from my current account for MONTHS after I complained, leaving me with a credit balance that I have NO access to. And the continue to deduct insurance premiums and service fees. But they do NOT respond to my emails, and just ignore me completely. I am at my wits end.
