Appalling customer service

I went to Identity Kerk street to pay my account on the 30/04/18 and I was almost assisted by Lorraine. Firstly I had to greet her and that told me she knows nothing about customer service. Then I told her I needed to make a payment and her response was" only if you are paying cash". I said no, I'm using a card and she said we are offline. Jokingly I asked"and today it's the last day of the month and I need to make a payment today and this is an inconvenience because you will add the interest and her rude response was" there is nothing I can do about it. I immediately confronted her about the attitude and told her she should at least apologise for it because I don't like the tone and for that I refuse to pay extra interest for their problem. She then said "go to the bank, get cash and come back". Imagine, I then told her for that attitude I will not do that and I asked for her name. The girl just ignored me and called for the next person, I asked her 4 times and she just kept quiet until I asked the guy next to her if that's how they treat customers and if they even have a manager and when I asked again the guy told me her name is Lorraine. I have been a customer at identity for years and I had never even saw her. Wonder where they got her from.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We have liaised with the Identity store in question, and according to the Store Manager, at certain times when the bank is offline, they would experience problems with their card machines in store.

The consultant attending to you explained this to you on the day that you visited this store. As a recommendation you were requested to draw the money in cash and make the payment on your account. The Store Manager also recalls apologizing to you for the inconvenience.

We regret the manner in which you felt you were attended to on the mentioned day, but trust that we were able to acceptably address your concerns raised.

Kind regards,

Identity Online Team
