Moldy "Fresh" Bread

Thank you for contacting me
However I am not impressed with how thngs occured.
This morning (16/03/2023) I was contacted by one of your consultants to speak about this matter, but I was unable to speak at the time beacuse I was occupied at my job. I then requested to be contacted by 2pm.
About several minutes later I received the following text message:

We at Pioneer Foods Essential Customer Care Line attempted to contact you regarding your complaint/enquiry without success. If you can, please contact us on *** and quote ref SB23-03-435.

What is this?
I assumed that it might be a mistake as I had already spoken to a consultant so I waited at 2pm with no avail.
I am extremely disappointed at this treatment because first I received a poor quality product and now it seems as if the company wants to cheat me to using my own resource to contact them when I was the one who was wronged.

I request to be contacted as soon as possible.

Regards,
Sasko

Thank you for contacting me as mentioned above. The call was on the 17th of March 2023. Your consultant was friendly and opened a formal complaint for me and requested that I sent the pictures I took of the moldy bread to SASKO's WhatsApp number. She added before the call ended that my a reply will be given me within 72 hour business hours.
I did as requested and I am yet to receive a response after all the evidence I sent. I have calculated and though we had a very long weekend since the call but I am sure now it has been more than 72 hours.

I kindly request that my issue be attended to soon. Thanks in advance.
