*** Discovery bank seriously

The nerve this bank has, I opened 2 accounts via discovery bank 2 years back. And since opening it never used the accounts on 3 occasions requested for the bank to close the account, on the last attempt they finally wiped all the bank charges it was running up, and promised me they will close the account. That was back in May since then the account has not been closed and bank chargers running up again. Besides the 2 account I want close I have a premium account that I pay around R360 per month with discovery. Today as I am traveling I wanted to access the discovery lounge, and could not generate a coupon due to the fact,that the 2 accounts that had to be close is in an areas and can't now access the lounge area. *** why I will be taking this further to social media

To inconvenience your clients like this and happy to take the massive bank charges, and me now landing to pay out of my pocket seriously, I am very furious as I got to the airport 4 hours ahead of time to now sit in the F@$cking common area and spend money on something that had to be covered also under my main account
