Refused an account based on what??!!

I recently went into the Edgars store at Pavillion to open an account. I was then informed that my application is declined with the assistant using only my ID number. <br> I then contacted the Liberty mall and Westwood branches telephonically who assured me that if I came into the store with my ID they would be able to open the account for me. <br> I went into these stores and was refused an account again. <br> The reason apparently being that I have an invite from Jet to open an account with them. And this is blocking me being able to apply for an Edgars account.<br> <br> I have never approached Jet for an account and have not even set foot in a Jet store. I do not want a Jet account. I want an Edgars account. It sounds pretty simple to me.<br> <br> I was then told to physically go into a Jet store, open an account and then close the account in order to rectify the situation. They say it's a system error of sorts. Why should I have to incur this inconvenience??<br> Why am I being restricted with regards to what account I want to open based on some one else wrong doing?<br> <br> Honestly this is utterly ridiculous. <br> Please can some Edcon get themselves in order and sort out this mess??<br> <br> Eagerly awaiting a worthy response
