Cannot withdraw funds from wallet

I've recently have had a very poor encounter with this company. I tried to withdraw some funds from my account, only to find that my account was locked. After logging a ticket and finding out why (apparently Luno doesn't allow what they call "card sharing" so one card cannot be used to pay funds into more than one account) The reason why? I have no idea.

To continue, I then had to upload all kinds of documents and answer security questions. I was then forced to change my password to be able to have access to my funds. When trying to change it, I came to realize that the sms feature doesn't work and neither does the push notification. I was then told I needed to upload further documents to change my authorization method from sms to email (I do also get an OTP via email to verify so not sure why it needs a 3 step factor authentication.

After experiencing this, I decided to liquidate and sell up. I had a feeling the same thing happened with my mom's account as one card was used to deposit funds into that account as well. Hers is also blocked. I also see now that you cannot just close the account, but have to submit a form in order to do so as well. There was no blocking when depositing funds, only when withdrawal. Please assist in unblocking these 2 accounts as soon as possible so that I can invest elsewhere

I have properly verified myself on your platform as per security measures. I then proceeded to answer all of your security questions and was told to reset my password before account could be unlocked. I attemped to reset my password, however, your system wasn't sending me push notifications or an sms code to do so. I was then told I needed to send yet another photo of myself with a sign saying to change form of authorization to email, which I did. I then got another email saying I needed to reply with a phrase to remove my trusted device (I was told you couldn't proceed until that was done) I now sit without being able to reset my password at all as I keep getting an error saying "Please wait a moment" or "Please wait a moment before retrying"

Please advise on how I can fast track this as it seems as though your team is giving me the runaround and I'm starting to get the feeling that you won't be releasing my funds to me at all

It has now been longer than 48 hours since I completed all of your ridiculous requests. I have gotten no feedback, and my account is still locked. You are ********ly withholding my money from me, and it's causing me great concern that you never intend to release it. Please advise soon on the progress to my email address you have on your system.
