THEIR RESPONSE WAS AS FOLLOWS:

Good Day Ms R,

Thank you for your email.

We acknowledge your request and regret that you have decided to close your account with us. Your patronage is important to us and we hope that we can continue the relationship that we have established by retaining you as a cash customer.

We’d like to take this opportunity to inform you that when an account is closed, the credit facility is removed and the account cannot be re-opened. However you are welcome to apply for a new account which is subject to an affordability calculation as required by the National Credit Act (NCA).

Please confirm if we should proceed with closing your account? Kind regards, Anastacia

THIS SHOCKING TO SAY THE LEAST AND THE CEO SHOULD BE ASHAMED...SO CITIZENS OUT THERE BE AWARE OF TRUWORTHS MONEY MAKING SCHEME
