ACCOUNT IN ARREARS

My husband has had an account with Edcon for many, many years. <br> The account is always paid up to date and we have never had any problems. <br> This morning we went to the Eastgate Branch - just to be told that the account is in arrears and that we had to pay an amount of R630-00 before any further purchases could be made. <br> This account is only used for gifts and with my credit cards left at home I found it extremely embarrassing not being able to purchase merchandise for R740-00.<br> We got home and I tried to contact the Edcon Accounts Department with proof of payments but after an hour on the phone I was told that the Accounts Department is not open on Sundays. <br> Firstly, we were embarrassed in the branch, then I was kept busy for an hour on the phone, just to be told that the accounts department was not open on a Sunday and I was then promised that the Manager would phone me which never happened.<br> Obviously my husband destroyed his card in the Eastgate Branch and what an embarrassment.... especially in view of the fact that we just wanted to spoil our daughter.,
