Discovery Card Complaint

I AM LIVID with Discovery card. I phoned them a few weeks ago to change my banking details as I moved to another bank. Please note all I wanted to do was to change my banking details. Which should require me to just send a confirmation letter with my banking details as proof that I have left the bank! But I was sent unnecessary forms. An option where I ended clicking that they must debit the full balance amount was selected as I was under the impression that the option meant Discovery debits me with the normal instalment amount. I called Discover to reverse the amount today and they tell me they cannot do that as I selected the option and this can only change for the next debit order. I have debit orders and other debit orders to pay! How do you debit an unncessary amount out of my account and not be able to reverse. To let people into your account there must be a level of trust you have with them. That trust no longer exists between Discovery and myself. I DO NOT WANT ANYMORE FORMS FROM DISCOVERY!

Reviewer Update
Hi. I'm sorry, but that is a stupid process.  I was quite clear that I changed banks and so my banking details for a debit order need to change.  No mention of any other changes.  The inability to not be able to reverse the payment is unfortunately a detriment to my account and my financial status with the new bank that I joined.  The whole process of filling out a form that was confusing was unnecessary admin as everything else had absolutely nothing to do with my request, which led to me almost not being able to pay my rent and other debit orders.  Your unnecessary process affected me and my finances and all I'm getting from you is an I'm sorry, we can't do anything about it.

Luckily, the bank has reversed it and I can now be in good financial standing with the bank no thanks to Discovery card.
