Incompetence at all levels at this clown circus

My experience with these *********** clowns that Bidvest employs.. I contacted a Lucille Meruno querying explicitly nominal interest rates for a large fixed deposit I was intending to invest. She confirmed a rate and I agreed, after which I received an SMS providing me with an account number that was created against which I made the deposit transfer. Later, she follows this with a document confirming a much lower rate than originally quoted. I clearly requested "nominal" in my original mail which was ignored. Enter *********** clown no. 2 Rajeev Vithal to whom I explained the circumstances in detail. He "could not quite understand the problem??" but did offer a better rate than the one per the documentation. I accepted this and asked him to progress this...to date no response...weeks later. Further on this matter, I reached out to a Barbara de Villiers, who confirmed that this was referred to management and I would be contacted. Nothing from management after 3 weeks gone by. This is a reflection on how *********** and unprofessional this institution functions. I wasn't appealing for your funds, but was attempting to give you mine! Remember Bidvest...you employ such *********** clowns and you will be deemed a circus. Other finance houses are more than willing to assist me..

I had provided ample opportunity for the above individuals to rectify their shortfall and errors for the past few weeks. and they did not.
After my comments above, Bidvest customer care asks the very same individuals to contact me today. Where is the escalation?
There is no trust, confidence and reassurance that my service levels are going to be any different with these clowns.
Bidvest are welcome to have such inept and *********** service providers in their employ, but I am nor compelled to accept this.
This says a lot about this institution when you have to question the actions of their customer care section.
