Consultant not very helpful

I have been trying to sort out an active card which is not in my pocession, I contacted a consultant via the banking app. Was informed that the account was closed in 2012 and need to get a closure letter. Now I am very co fused as I have never in the past had an account with Standard Bank? How are my details showing this information.The consultant kept on saying it's a system error that the card is active, yet fails to address the dact that I never had an account and have to wait for a closure letter??

Thank you, I have spoken to someone at the call centre. Issue has not been resolved. I do not understand how I have a credit card sitting with the legal team that has been closed apparently in 2012 and reflects on the app under manage account as active.
How is this even legal?

It's mid August, still had no response as to my query.
Service is really pathetic, unfortunately I cannot cancel this account due to certain factors otherwise I would.
