Student loan

I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding an unexpected debit on my account. In mid-February 2026, I contacted the student loan division to request a settlement amount for my loan. The amount was provided to me, and I promptly made the payment as advised. The following day, I called again to confirm and request the closure of the account. However, I was surprised to see that an amount of R1,615.45 was debited from my account thereafter. This is concerning, as I had already settled the loan in full in accordance with the instructions provided. I kindly request a refund of the debited amount, as I have honoured my obligations and settled the account in good faith. Please investigate this matter urgently and provide feedback.
