Bad billing

I have an account with identity as from last year, and I've been paying it monthly i didn't skip any payment. This month i paid on the 06/05/2021.i paid an amount of 370 at nhlazatshe in mpumalanga. To my surprise i got sms's saying that my account is in areas and i will be handed over. I called the head office and they said that the payment doesn't reflect on their system. I tried to explain that i did pay and i even faxed the slip as proof of payment, but still the calls were coming. I had to drive 110km to the store to enquire. And they said the amount went to the wrong account and it will take 2 to 3 days to be resolved. Now this has reflected negatively on my credit report as now it appears that i skip payment. And what pains me is the fact that no one from the store is admitting an error or a mistake on their side and seemingly they don't care about how this thing will affect my credit record. I deeply hurt about this and worse i know the calls are charging on me as well.

This is so disappointing coming from IDENTITY. I must call Consumer assistance? How many times have i called the consumer assistance? I've even sent an email of the slip as proof of payment. But at the end of the day IDENTITY doesn't see any mistakes on their side. What a poor service from a well established business.
