No sense of urgency Highly disappointed new client

Disappointing service received. Bought mtn data on the standard bank app off my credit card only to receive an error message that has purchase unsuccessful.

Lo and behold the R499 transaction went through but I did not receive the data bundle.

Immediately contacted the call center for assistance so they can log a ticket with Blue telecoms or whoever they use as their service provider so I can be credited as my data were never loaded.

Was only met with please wait till 8am to get assistance .

Rather disappointed at the level of urgency received especially as a new client.

Just log a ticket and can I be credited the amount back . I still have the screenshot error received should anyone be interested.

Hope you will treat this matter with urgency.

Regards

Very disappointed new client

Its 10am. Nothing has been done.

No ref provided. No ticket logged with your service provider. The data was never received do I now need to wait a month before the funds are credited back into my credit card.

No screenshot was asked for that I took of the purchase unsuccessful error

I experienced a similar issue with my main bank.

I called in after verification they gained entry onto my banking app and confirmed the transaction were done and took the transaction number down.

They then logged a ticket with their service provider and confirmed with the network I had indeed not received the data package.

I was credited back my money and this was done under 3 days.

I am struggling to get a reference no. with you guys.

Very dissapointed

Its a working day and still no feedback . This is rather disappointing to say the least.

No urgency whatsoever ever!!! What have you done so far???! No reference numbers have you even bother contacting your service provider so they can credit me back. This is ridiculous service in all honesty

Fix this mess!! Do not have data options when clearly there is a fault when purchasing the MTN SUPERDATA R499 Package. Your level of urgency is appalling

You have been "attempting" to get in touch since Sunday

It is now after 4pm and still nothing.

Please provide me with ref number, your service provider e.g Blue telecoms or which ever provider you use and their number.

Let me follow up myself as your ppl are failing to do the bare minimum.

R499 is slot of money which needs to be credit as I did not rrecieve any data.

No one contacted me again!

Instead I keep getting calls for death cover from standard bank and getting ucount rewards also being shoved down my throat. Repeatedly declined yet they still call to tell me imagine of I were to be in a car accident.

Please provide me a case number for this query as I will be taking this matter up with the ombudsman.

1. Failure to provide ref no. as proof of case lodged with provider.

2. +-5 working days matter is not resolved.

3. Refusal to provide their service providers details as to sort this issue out on my own and Standard bank has failed DISMALLLY .

I will be reporting this matter to the ombudsman provide me with correct reference.

Regards

Its been a whole week . There is no priority here.

I have asked for a ref number for this query as I am writing to the ombudsman.

I do not care about your priority which takes months or years.

I am lodging a case with the ombudsman's and require a ref number. Please provide it.

We are soon on our to Day 10 of no refund and refusal with reference number.

They are now refusing with a case number for my case as I am busy completing a form for the banking ombudsman.

I need the ref no for this case so I can complete the form . You can continue prioritizing whatever useless stuff you prioritize.

And tell your agents to stop calling me about taking out cover for up to 1,5 mil

Ref no pls
