Insurance claim and declined activation of credit card which is in a credit!

I have been a client for many years and have gone back to them as they service use to be outstanding, now I feel like closing everything and rather opening a credit card with Capitec. I submitted an insurance claim in September 2021 for August 2021, after numerous follow ups in October 2021 they only informed me that they never received my email I resent it to them and magically they received my emails again. I was eventually notified that my claim was accepted and my accounts were credited even the debit order went through as per normal (My credit card is even 2.9K in credit). I then wanted to know how to go about to make my credit card active again as I need to use it and they informed me that I must go to the branch to activate it. I went to the branch today. after waiting for a whole hour to be served as there were two clients in front of me and only one staff member serving us, to be informed that the insurance must be phoned again as they haven't released my status by them. They were phoned and I was told I am going to have to wait another 48hours to hear if they will activate it. This after the insurance department informed me I must just go to the branch to make it active. Received a message from them now informing me my request was declined as there is a hold on my account?! How if my credit card is in a credit of almost 3K?!

Still I have not been able to make my credit card active every time that I go to the branch it's a different story. The only person that is putting in effort to help me in the strand branch is Pumzha, thank you. The latest is that my credit card is in arrears but there is a credit on how the hell do you understand that. My credit score has now dropped with 42 points just because of African bank and their sorry excuse of a service. I have had to visit the branch about 4-5 times now which is petrol money every time and on every occasion I have had to be late for work due to the slow service or them having to figure out whats going on with my card. I have heard that it's a IT problem, documents that they need, never receiving my emails but email address is 100% correct, account being in arrears which it's not and they call me every time to go back in to the branch just to tell me I have to wait and come back again! This is the worst service I have ever experienced from them or any other institution.
