Appalling

Absolutely frustrating service from Discovery Bank. Shocked at the service. i had a credit card which was paid in full. Fica documents submitted. i get constant emails saying that i need to provide the very same documents and information that was already sent to them. after speaking to over 10 consultants over 2 days im always told i need to escalate to a team leader. the error is on our side.... after literally begging to remove the Fica block and help me get a replacement card as i cant access the app, which i might add, discovery blocked when i reported my card lost, i get told that they cannot help me. i need to wait 24-48 hours. i must make my 11 month old child wait 24-48 hours to see a doc because i cant access the funds on this card why is is so painful to get help from Discovery??????? Why are the consultants unable to provide proper resolutions to the issues i called with. i cannot unblock the account. i cannot access the app to request a new card. im begging for help to try and find another way to get a replacement card which will take 5-10 working days. i mean really. my frustration has literally gone through the roof. since when has discovery bank become so lax in resolving matters? what's the need for a call center that cannot assist clients? if this is the only way im going to get some form of help then i will insist here that i want someone to call me who has the ability to help me and not give me 100 hundred different stories

The audacity of you guys is actually shocking. The only help received Tyrone is a message stating I will be handed over to debt collectors for an amount for R122 which is bank fees only due in April????????? What is going on??????????

I'm sure this will take a further 24 to 48 hours. And the week is actually over now. I stand by what I said... service is appalling
