Discovery Invest - No communication - No resolution - No urgency - Exec Office no use

The service received to date from Discovery Invest does not even justify the 1 star I am forced to select, NEVER in my life have I experienced anything as bad as this. I have held this company at high regard up until this experience. A death claim of all is being treated with utmost disregard, not only the fact that the ONLY feedback I received from them was a completely and utter lie. The exec office where escalated queries are supposedly dealt with seems to have not a care in the world to resolve anything, in fact it turns out they are merely a msging service passing along 2 day old msges. Do the phones and emails work in this department as it seems to be extremely problematic to get any answer on the phones and emails go into a big black whole of nothing. If you are lucky enough to get a mail from them they address it to the deceased party, thanks for showing that empathy to an already dire situation is handled with absolutely no care whatsoever. I started querying this on 23Feb'26, today is the 9thMar'26 with the last actual email correspondence being the 4thMar'26 saying payment will be concluded within 24 to 48 hours.... it's 5 days later... need I say more, this is absolutely disgusting.

I can save you some time on getting you exactly to the point a few of your consultants have gotten today after rehashing the whole story and amount of non-communicated issues on this case.
Your systems team need to clear the error that is appearing when trying to process the payment. Surely this could have been done already since around 11 when I was first told this, and again on email about 10minutes ago. And it seems there is no assistance or escalation channel to the supposed "systems team" that need to clear said error as it they have not actioned this seemingly simple instruction since the error was first discovered.
Can someone please take some ownership of this query and get it resolved it is really causing a lot of unnecessary frustration. There's 1.5hours left till there's no further interest from your side for the day as I experienced on Friday...

Guys, C'mon this is now really ridiculous.

My response to Althea Andrews who seems to be GREAT at automated responses:
Oh geez please is there anyone else that can take this query, seriously? I have had the same person from Exec office be of absolute NO assistance. Your automated response is an insult to a very heated situation already. You have been "looking into the matter" with no success from the time I escalated this.

Is the intention to deliberately discourage people from dealing with Discovery completely??

So we are now in day 3 of a known issue that needs to be resolved by the "systems team" with not even a phone call or an actual non automated email/response, smoke signal, sms, NOTHING! from Discovery Invest payments nor the exec office team...

Can I have a resolution on this. We cannot play for time again today.

Withdrawal timeline stipulates 5 - 10 days, the details for the payment has been with Invest payments since 18 Feb 26 - which means we are on day 14 (that's business days)
