********** account

I tried to open a Capitec account to find out that I already had an account on their system. The consultant showed me what appeared on her screen, and although my drivers license and ID book was me, the photo clearly was not. I now have to complete a HANIS report with Home Affairs, and issue an Affidavit to the police. Why did Capitec allow the account to be opened when clearly the person was not me. The drivers license and ID book dont look anything like the person who opened the account.

Why is this issue now for me to sort out? Why didnt Capitec have the correct process in place when opening this account? Why does the ********** person be allowed to continue doing this, but I must clear my name?

Thank you Capitec. My account is now my own and no longer the face of the *********. People please check if your details are used falsely, this is important.
