Misinfirmed about Credit card initiation fees

My spouse was issued a credit card recently at Cresta branch standard bank ,and we were informed amd repeatedly reassured by the consultant that there would be no card initiation fees, however our recent bill showed additional charges and the call centre jnformed us this was for card initiation fees. We are very disappointed that we were misinformed by the consultant at Cresta branch. The call centre escalated the matter but nobody has called us to clarify. I clearly told the consultant that if there were card initiation fees,then we were not interested in getting an additional card. We have banked with standard bank over 40 years, however the service is now a challenge..

Hi, please note cresta branch hasn't resolved the matter and they haven't credited my wife's account with the card initiation fees, despite reassurances that they would reverse the fees.
