***** Department lacks Communication Skills and Urgency

I opened a ***** case on the 7th May and was told that the turnaround time is 72 hours. It is now the 19th May and I am still no further forward. I have to constantly chase Discovery's ***** Department for an update regarding the case and the investigator has made no progress. I am being told they cannot get ahold of Standard Bank regarding a refund but how am I meant to feel confident in them dealing with the case if its been over 12 days and you still can't get an answer from Standard Bank regarding the refund. I was told on Friday that I would be called by the end of the day with a conclusion and now on Monday you're telling me something different. I am fed up with Discovery Bank and want to close my account over this.

Hi Nosisa

While I appreciate your prompt response to my complaint, I am still yet to receive feedback on my case and it has been two weeks since I lodged the case. This is utterly ridiculous.

With all due respect, soonest keeps changing day to day to day and the wait gets longer and longer. This is the poorest service I have received from a bank and I will be closing my account after this.

Good day Devon,

Thank you for your patience while I look into this for you.

The assigned investigator informed me that they have made contact with you. I hope that you are now up-to-date with the progression of your ongoing case.

Kind regards,
Nosisa
