I used to be with Citizens Bank and I asked them 3-4 times over the phone to kindly close my account. Each time I was on the phone, the representative confirmed the account had been closed and I didn't have to worry. My mother was linked to this account as I originally got it when I was sixteen, and their policy is no one under seventeen is allowed to have a checking account alone. When she was dealing with her own Citizens Bank account, she was informed that our account had received a $9.99 fee for no deposits, despite the fact that I was told several times the account was closed. She paid the fee, but told the representative at the branch to close the account. Today, the account still appears to be open. I am afraid that this $9.99 fee affected my/her credit because it caused the account (which had $0 in it) to overdraft. I am also getting frustrated with their lack of ability to close my account. I have audio recordings of me on the phone with them, asking them to close my account and them confirming to me that the account was closed.
I know that it's only a $9.99 fee, but again, the account is still to this day open and I'm getting tired of having to go through this cancellation process over and over again. If they continue to not close my account, what can I do legally to ensure that they do?
