no way to escalate or talk to a supervisor/ senior person

training/ [competency?] of general staff is really poor AND/... there is no way to escalate or talk to a supervisor/ senior person

Even the old Discovery Card was better than this!!

Hi Nyvrem 

Please note that our dispute team consists of only senior individuals. 

These are the individuals in charge of card disputes and chargebacks, hence, your query was referred to this team for further assistance. 

I have also been informed that our specialist had tried to contact you but they were unsuccessful. 

Please could you advise when would be an acceptable time for you to be contacted. 

Regards
Girshwin

If "Vuyelwa Jola" is a "senior individual", then there is a bit of a problem; not the least of which my requests to escalate were ignored at least four times ~ that's not polite or professional.


At the outset on the phone to Discovery BANK, I was told that I would receive an email and to reply to that one with details and attachments.

Please see attachments x3



The case number assigned was - see above - " CASE #[***] - Dispute form " was then mixed up with/ replaced by [?] another... CASE #[***] - Transaction Dispute


MY REQUEST HAS BEEN SIMPLE...
...a senior person contact me via EMAIL to ***********
That email should have that senior person contact details 1. direct email address 2. direct phone number 3. name 4. position
ONLY A SENIOR PERSON !!!

This is certainly noteworthy in the circumstance:
I DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE MISSED CALL ON MY PHONE


IF I AM BEING THROWN BACK IN TO THE SAME POOL OF PEOPLE AND YOU ARE REFUSING TO ALLOW ACCESS TO A SENIOR PERSON, THEN I NEED TO BE CONTACTED TO CLOSE THESE ACCOUNTS/...

I DON'T HAVE THE TIME - SORRY!

These guys are clearly trying to rub my nose in it.

If resolution is sought about a problem that emanates from a specific person, then why defer the client back to the same person over and over and over and over...

I just got this email below....

NOTE: I ONLY HAVE ONE PHONE NUMBER [no missed calls]
They don't have there clients' phone numbers on file??

Actually they don't even have the spelling of this client's name correct


This is so far from the Discovery culture and in my opinion, definitely not good for the Discovery Group. If Adrian was dead, he'd be rolling in his grave!

I need to RE-send a PDF.

This is because there is no indication that it was received with the initial confusion and the two different Case Numbers.

It contains correspondence directly with Google and is an important element in the matter that needs to be incorporated in this case.

This - Hellopeter - does not seem to facilitate an attachment.
How do I send that so that it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, generate a new case number, and add another layer of confusion to this debacle.


If I entered my phone # on this Hellopeter string incorrectly, then I apologise.

Most importantly, my correct phone # is on the app ~ I made sure of that a minute ago!

Please note that any unanswered incoming call shows up as a missed call.
A message of course shows up similarly.
There are NO missed calls nor messages that even vaguely show as being from Discovery Bank



Sincerely
