NO service delivery leaving customer stranded

About 3 weeks back my Discovery money status dropped from Diamond to Silver. Upon enquiring I was told that I have a credit card debt of R 70599.00 At first I could not believe this because as I have no such debt on any of my credit cards. Upon further enquiry I was told that I should contact Experian credit check as they would advise.

It was later revealed that my purchases on 23 May for R 69000.00 that was fully paid off on the 18th of June was not cleared by Experian.

I did provide Discovery with a statement on the 30th of July to show that my account is paid up but NO SERVICE OR ACTION was provided to me. I followed up 3 times with Discovery and 2 times I was promised a callback but NO SUCH SERVICE existed. I contacted Experian and they could only help my after 60 days have passed.

In summary

I am penalised by Discovery for having made credit card purchases of R 60 000.00 that was paid up within 30 days. I am penalised by dropping 2 status levels. I am penalised by losing out on the Double miles discount between 1-14 Aug. I am penalised for losing out on my flight discount. I am penalised for losing out on my exercise goals. I am penalised for losing out on savings interest rates.

This is absolutely pathetic service from Discovery that my status cannot be fixed even after 55 days of having a clear credit record.

This is a list of all the empty promises discovery made with reference number *** - The consultant told me that they will phone me back but no success. *** - provided my credit card statement to Elvey but she did not find it important to solve my query. *** - No service received. *** - The consultant promised a call back but she also did not find it valued to phone me back.

Im a very disappointed by having my hands tied behind my back of UNEFFECTIVE PROBLEM SOLVING BY DISCOVERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again my hands are cut off and CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY HUGE PROBLEM

Can someone please come back to me regarding my problem!!!!!
I'm surprised that no one communicates with me regarding my issue.

I have 6 references numbers and still no one has the guts to contact me and say there is a IT issue we will reimburse you for lost miles.

Absolutely shocking
