Discovery Card *******

The Discovery Card account statements shows a 'due date' for settlement of the outstanding amount.

Their T&C's state payment must be received "on or before the due date shown on the monthly account statement".

There is no time stipulated in their T&C's, so if they have received the payment in full on the due date, they should not be processing a debit order for the minimum payment until the end of that day. But they process the debit order at 00:01 on the due date, instead of 23:59 on the due date.

They just dismiss my query and tell me to pay 1 day earlier than their statement due date. What is the point of a due date if you have to pay before that date?

How many thousands of customers do they ************ly get additional funds from each month? This must surely amount to millions of Rands. What a *******! They must be stopped.
