Payment made, consultants saying I am lying

I made a payment to my African Bank My World Card before the end of September 2025

Their consultants had blocked my credit card and I am unable to check the balance on it

I got a call to say that the payment was supposed to be made to my credit card and not my my world debit card. The consultant from African Bank transferred me to their virtual telephone system to transfer the my world payment to my credit card as I was unable to access it ontheir online platform or their app. It shows on my statement that a payment was made from my my world account but the consultants are still chasing payment for my credit card.

An internal investigation needs to be done. You call me and accuse me of not paying when the problem is on your side!

From now on I want all my correspondence in writing via email. Stop calling me all day to argue. Investigate this on your side and sort it out! Where did my payment go to???

Then why is your automated system also not working. I requested to chat to a consultant and no one is responding. There is always issues but no one is resolving my query

Noted but please start the investigation on your end because it looks like since you cannot find my payment that ***** has been committed by one of your consultants.
I am unable to take any calls during office hours as I too have to work.
