I am writing to formally raise my…

I am writing to formally raise my concern and dissatisfaction regarding the handling of my account and the conflicting information I have recently received.
I have been a client under debt review with your company and have made a consistent effort to monitor my balances closely. According to my latest statement, my WesBank account reflected as paid up. However, when I requested a paid-up letter, I received a response addressed to a completely different person, which immediately raised serious concerns about the accuracy of your records and communication processes.
Following this, I was informed via email that I still allegedly owed more than R3 000 on my WesBank finance. The next day I received a call apologising for addressing me incorrectly, yet I was again told that I still owe money — despite my statement reflecting the account as settled. I was further informed that your statements are “simply an estimate,” which is extremely concerning, as clients rely on these statements to understand their financial position.
This situation has caused confusion, frustration and a loss of confidence in the accuracy of your reporting. I therefore request the following:
A full written explanation of the discrepancy between my statement and the alleged outstanding balance.
An accurate, detailed account reconciliation reflecting all payments made.
Written confirmation of the correct outstanding balance on my WesBank account.
Assurance that my personal information and account details are being handled correctly and securely.
I trust that this matter will be treated with urgency and professionalism. Please provide a written response within a reasonable timeframe so that this issue can be resolved without further escalation.
