When your systems don't serve you or your clients

Discovery Bank made a mistake and reflected an outstanding balance of R32k on my account. I contacted them and the matter was rectified. When applying for the Apple Watch benefit through Vitality I'm told that I don't qualify because my account has not been in good standing for 3 months consecutively. They acknowledge that the error was theirs but they cannot override their system. So even though it was their error, I am still regarded as a credit risk and do not qualify for benefits.

Thanks Girshwin

It's been nearly 2 weeks and I have received no feedback. The problem persists because as I initially said, your systems don't serve you or your customers. Instead, as a corporate entity you are held hostage by those very systems.
