Not performing instruction/Terrible attitude from management

On 9 January 2018 I e-mailed all my documents as was requested by the fund for a request for special payment. I submitted the permission to change bank account details, copy of ID,bank statement and application for payment to ********** The request for change of banking details was also separately mailed to: ********** On the 15th January I phoned to enquire about the payment. I spoke to Shishmika who informed me that all documents was received except the ID (which was scanned) She requested that I forward the ID to her at ********** with her name as reference. I called her oname the 16th to enquire, where she informed me she didn't receive the ID. On the 16th I sent it again. I then called on the 18th and still nobody has received the ID. I then resubmitted all the docs again onext the 18th. On the 22nd I called again and spoke to Thato who in formed me that the funds was already paid over to a closed Standard Bank account on the 16th of January because they didn't have any documents - but funds was paid over..on what request was that specific payment then made? I then informed Thato that I have forwarded my new banking details several timespecially with forms and bank statements. She said that the system did an automatic payment of t the specific claimed amount to my old closed Standard Bank account. She then said she will put me through to her manager Mrs Govender who had a terrible attitude from the get go. Sarcastic attitude, telling me that we didn'the change the details. Although all documents was sent through several times. Even had the cheek to tell me if they have to do a eat reversal we will have to pay the R280 and that I should rather go sort it out at Standard Bank - as if I made the payment to a closed account. I informed her that I will lodge a complaint regarding this and she had the decency to tell me "Please do so" With employees like Mrs Govender I doubt your service will ever better. Please pay in my money into my Nedbank as requested originally. Don't think it is too much to ask.

After a phone call last Monday, confirming that they did in fact received all my documents on the 9th of January. I was promised that the matter will be resolved within 2-3 days, and that I will receive feedback via e-mail. It was already with the finance department. And still 5 working days later, no response. Can we please just finalise this matter.

And so I am still waiting. Discovery is this what you think of your clients? I'm no forced to contact the ombudsman as well as other media platforms, because the small fish also have a voice and the right to raise there complaints.

Dear Discovery, thank you for your e-mail. But I'm very sorry. I sent through my new banking details to you on the 9th of January already. On the 29th of January I received a phone call stating that my documents with NEW banking details was in fact received. So now according to Heelan Nana the payment was loaded on the 18th of January 2018. Now how do I understand the logic of this. First you admit you received the documents but yet process it to the incorrect account - that have been closed for more than two years. And is probably allocated to someone else. Now I have to go to Standard Bank to prove the account was already closed. Really???? So your incompetence is causing me inconvenience. You had the details of my new banking details - please pay my money into the account as was requested on the 9th of January and confirmed by you. I will not be held responsible if you do not action instructions.
