Absolutely bad service from Standard bank. Bankers don't know how to do their job.

Thought the problem was resolved with my credit card and what a surprise I got again!!! Yesterday morning I wanted to use my credit card after everything was so called sorted out and reactivated but there was a technical problem. Arrived home and checked my e-mail and to my surprise a banker at Standard bank have send me the following e-mail: We refer to your recent e-mail and must profusely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused. Feedback of this nature, although regrettable is always appreciated as it allows us the opportunity to improve and rectify our customer standards. Thank you for granting us the opportunity to recover from this service failure and we look forward to a mutually beneficial business relationship with yourself. Please note that the card is permanently closed , can we submit your details for the application of the new credit card. We await your response. Kind Regards, Sibusiso Ntuli 24/7 Banking Team This e-mail was send on the 2nd of August that my account was reactivated. Good day Mrs Nell Thank you for your E-mail. Please be advised that I have reinstated the card and you can use the card after 24 hours. I trust that everything is in order. Kind regards Joseph Fallie Customer Resolution Centre What kind of service does Standard bank give? Was the account really reactivated or not? I have send an e-mail yesterday but got no reply, so I called this morning 5 times and was put on hold till my airtime run out. On the 5th time I called I ask to speak to a Manager without success because I was directly cut off. So where do I go from here and do Customers just have to accept bad service delivery. If you dare to complain then you get this services from Standard Bank.

I was now going through all my reviews and how funny on the morning of 16 August 2022 I was in a dispute with Standard Bank about my credit card that was deactivate and then reactivate and I didn't know what was going on. Then suddenly that afternoon at 16:13 a ********** transaction went threw, I called ***** line at 16:19 when I received the sms and said to them that's a ********** transaction and they must stop it immediately. Well needles to say nobody at Standard bank did anything about it. 2 and a half months later, Calls almost everyday that I'm in arrears and must pay. Went to the ombusman, 1000 of e-mails asking for an explanation from Standard bank. NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!! So Standard Bank don't care about their long term customers and 100 consultants are working on 1 account and still don't care to make any effort to take note of the ********** transaction, that make me believe that it's someone in Standard bank itself that's responsible for the *****. Sorry Standard Bank I will not pay a sent on that ********** transaction and Standard Bank is dragging my excellent credit record through the mud. My credit card was always up-to-date and sometimes paid up in full so I could keep my excellent credit record but now what is Standard Bank planning to do next to repair my name and when will they release the name of the owner of the Capitec bank account ***. How long does it take to investigate such case? What a laughing matter just now 10:38 another person called me again from Standard Bank debt collection to tell me I'm in arrears and why I only paid R40. I explain that I know that I have to pay service fee because it was told that I'm still responsible for service fee while I have my credit card with them. I'm now so angry I was talking so hard that she ask me why I'm screaming at her, what do they expect if they don't do their job and then they can't even speak up, sound like they have food in their mouth when talking and I could not hear half of what she was saying.
I wanted to open a credit card account at another bank now but because of this case with Standard Bank I'm disqualified. Standard Bank personnel are you proud of the service you give.
