Worst Service

In 2022 my account was frozen, I was contacted by a gentleman from ***** who told me that my account has been frozen and I would be contacted in 21 working days and notified of the next steps thereof. I then stopped using my account. Fast forward to 2024 June when I needed a POP of a payment I made using my account, I contacted Discovery and asked for the assistance, the consultant that was assisting me said she could help me navigate my app in getting the POP, I then explained that the account is frozen and I cannot access the the app. She then told me that my account is not frozen and is active. To my surprise the account was sitting on a -R6600 I then questioned this and she said she was going to put me through to the ***** team. I spoke to 3 different consultants at ***** from couldn't answer the questions posed to them. All I needed to know is when my account was unfrozen? What was the findings on the investigation? Why have i accumulated bank charges for the past 2 years if my account was under investigation? I had transactions on my account that went off and I was charged twice for them however Discovery is refusing to assist me in disputing those transactions and they are claiming that even if my account was frozen I should have still contacted them to resolve those issues.

I was told (Andy) from Customer Service would get back to me in reversing the charges and the process would take 24-48 hours, we are literally sitting on more than 7 working days and the charges have still not been reversed. I was told by (Mabandla) from ***** that they would get back in giving feedback of the questions I have asked them.

It’s been over 2 years and I cannot still get joy from Discovery. This is honestly not ethical and for such a trusted bank for Discovery and its employees to do the running around. Honestly this is unacceptable. I would like to know if this will ever be resolved? Will I ever get feedback on what actually happened? Will I ever get those fees reversed? Will I ever get my money back? Or did I just waste my time?

Dear Nkhensani,

I guess Discovery is good at making false promises. Nobody has been in contact with me once again. One is always given false promises and they are never fulfilled.

What does one have to do in order to get this resolved and in order to get feedback from Discovery Bank?

Kindly note that nobody contacted me. They have misinformed you. No complaint was even logged on X. What is going on with Discovery Bank?

Dear Nkhensani,

Please refrain from misinforming me on this platform. Nobody is assisting me with my complaint.

Discovery has literally gone mute on my matter and now this?

What is this really? No complaint was logged on X.
