Discovery Bank - Client servoice - we do not know what that is

They have no idea of client service. I switched to Discovery Bank from Discovery Card in September 2019. The debit order which I had from my ABSA account to the Discovery Card account , which I was concerned about, was not effected in September 2019. I had asked about this and the advice was that I did not need to do anything. On querying I was told... Oops sorry - we should have told you that you needed to let us know what to do. I then filled in the forms and the October debit has not gone off. They have stated they do not respond to email queries. They do not phone you. I phoned yesterday (28 October) and was advised that they would phone me between 6 pm and 9 pm. This they did but I was unavailable.

What they have not answered - what are they going to do about lost interest ( their call centre agent asked me to tell them how much I had lost) ; what are they going to do about my bank charges incurred as a result of a debit order being returned - they did say this would be escalated - but I have heard nothing : and they haven't advised about why the debit order is not being effected (as sated above they did try and phone me).

Reviewer Update
Thank you for the response on this issue. My debit order ran on my discovery card regardless of the balance. But what about all the other issues? What about your distinct lack of communication and client service? Only answering one segment of the query is actually very poor and leaves the client more frustrated than before.
