Bad Attitude

I am actually frustrated by Home Choice. I saw some bedding sets that I like on their website over the weekend. This morning I tried to register my details in order for to be able to buythem. I got shocked when I received an error message saying “The ID / passport number is already in use. Please try again or call us on ********** 635” I just called the number and I didn’t get the name of the lady who was assisting me. she told me that in 2015 I app**** for an account at HomeChoice. She then wanted me to confirm my address on their system yet I told her that I don’t remember ever opening an account with HomeChoice. I don’t have a single item in my house from HomeChoice and she told me that I will not be able to buy anything from HomeChoice. And she requested that I sent her my proof of residence. She didn’t want to assist me at all. How can I confirm details that I don’t know of. I know for security purposes she need to check few details with me but how do I do that when I don’t recall ever making or trying making purchases from HomeChoice therefore the details are not mine. This is really irritating. I need the bedding sets but the very same company I am trying to buy from is blocking me. I am not opening a credit account, I want to make cash purchases.

Good Day, May you please advise me what is the process of cancelling the account with HomeChoice? I am surprised that HomeChoice is being difficult. I have an unknown account and was willing to have it opened as I want to place an order. i know i was requested to send my ID and proof of my residence, while i was still in the process of sending the documents. My partner and I decided to open an account in his name so that we can place the order while I am resolving the issue on my side. I called customer services of Home choice today to cancel the order that I place on Friday and reorder. we sent a letter of authority, copy of my ID and a copy of my partners passport of Friday. to day I call to cancel the order and reorder as I want to pay for the new order the customer services consultant tells me he can't help as they are protecting the company against ********** which i find it very strange as i am a victim of such including my ex husband. I was assisted by a Mr. Kylie in the ***** department at that time. i know if a person has a letter of authority including Power of Attorney she/ he can be assisted. it is clear Home choice doesn't want us as their customers.Please close and cancel account number ********** 2.
