Discovery only takes

I have missed a payment with Discovery and my account became inactive. I spent several hours trying to pay the amount, but my ABSA app refused to accept the info and ref numbers that THREE different people from the live chat gave me. I went to ABSA branches in Garden Centre, then Adderley, then the 2 separate branches in Heerengracht. They all confirmed that the info given to me was wrong. Discovery, makes it impossible to communicate with anyone - and EVERY person passes the buck. I cannot pay, I cannot access the Discovery app, because I cannot pay. A loop that goes on forever. I asked them to phone me, but apparently it is impossible. I tried the 086 number, but they send the OTP to your phone which then cuts out the call. I truly am being refused by Discovery to pay them, which means I am unable to get my chronic medicine.

Reviewer Update
I took time off work and personally went to the walk in customer service at Canal Walk. Staff there were kind, but ultimately could also not help. They have seen similar cases lately and were as baffled by it as myself. I then decided to deposit cash at the First National Bank branch of Canal Walk (not safe nor easy these days with ever decreasing number of tellers) - hopefully this will settle it once and for all. Please let me know, in person, whether this work around was successful. Thank you.
