Call Centre Incompetence

I am trying to setup a Business Call Account, however the account was suspended the same day it was created online due to something being missing and apparently it has to be KYC'd. This is my 3rd attempt to phone their call centre. 1st time I could not hear the call centre agent and we were cut off twice. The first time she phoned me back, second time no return call. Today again I am trying to resolve the issue and this time they are apparently experiencing high call volumes. 1st Call after 22 minutes of holding I put down to phone again to say there is no response. The put me through to someone that apparently could help just to be put on hold again for another 25 minutes. Finally got through to be told that it is not a KYC but a tax issue. Once again I was put through to the KYC and Tax department. Now why was I not put through correctly the first time and why a nearly 50 minute delay due to either untrained staff. Now again this department has sent a request for a form to be sent to me to be completed. If I don't receive the form I need to go through the whole process again. The form is to check if I have any foreign income? Wow Makes no sense.

This is why I dislike call centres. i also followed up why this was not actioned in my first call and they said there is no note on my account that I called before. Just further proof that call centres are window dressing and don't have anyone's interest at heart.

Reviewer Update
The next day I received an e-mail with a foreign tax declaration that I had to complete and return, which I did. A day later I called the foreign tax department to enquire about the forms I sent in and when my account will be unfrozen. Phone call 1. The call was ended and I was put though to give feedback or to rate the call without any feedback from the call centre. Call nr 2 was cut off after I gave my details, call number 3 I was just put through to a department i.e. digital without any questions or the person understanding the issue and I am now waiting on call nr 4 and the only now opened the form and are updating the system. Call centres does not work and there are no ownership or responsibility within these call centres. Passing the buck is much to easy and no oversight. So I have not idea how many more hoops I have to jump to to open an account. Is it even worth the effort or must I just invest my money somewhere else.
