What happened to my bank statements?

I'm trying to open a bank account at Discovery Bank. One of the requirements is three months' bank statements. They said you could scan or upload it on your app. I've tried scanning it but couldn't. Because it is the only outstanding requirement, I received call after call and email after email. Finally, Saturday morning, I asked the bloke if I could email my statements. He said yes – email it to ***, which I did – 3 pdf files with three months' statements. The emails and calls didn't stop. On Monday, I told somebody - the statements are there. Go and get it at ***. He said they don't have access to that email address. Today I received an email saying - Your application will expire on 16 Jun. What happened to my bank statements? Are they floating around somewhere for whoever wants to have a look at it? I'm waiting for a call from a manager or supervisor to tell me the problem is solved.

Hi Piet 


I have checked you application status and I can see that @11H40 today, 3 bank statements have been uploaded to your profile and the document status says no documents outstanding. 

I will continue to closely follow up on the application to ensure it moves on to the next stage.

Reviewer Update
Unfortunately, my problem with Discovery wasn't solved - because they have a no-reply communication system in place. You receive no-reply emails, and when you want to speak to the person who called you, you get to a call centre, and all they can do is to say they will send this person or department a message that you are looking for them. End of story.
