Refuses to assist because of one question, after answering 8 other questions

I have a credit card with Standard Bank which i want to close. Went to the branch 9 MOTORCITY CAPITAL PARK, VOORTREKKER RD, LES MARAIS. Woman at customer service told me i need to speak to the credit card division who takes me to a table, dials the number and leave. No body else at the table. I listen to the options, before i could speak to someone, i am at the survey. Easy for a customer service person to not speak to clients and put the phone down. I do the survey and said no to all the questions. I redial the number, still nobody at the table. Speak to someone, as usual, you cannot catch the name. This was at 10 am on 17 June, call is recorded. I answer about 10 questions and the woman asks me what is the limit that i got when opening the account, this was about 8 years ago. I could not answer this, although i answered all her questions to identify me. Then she refuses to assist me because of this question. Says to me i need to get one of the consultants on the phone. I told her that there is nobody close to me from the bank. She refuses to assist me and carries on that she needs the info. No wonder people are closing their accounts. I am done with Standard Bank. Very disappointed with the service i received, but that is the way you treat your customers. You can learn from Capitec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Past useless!

Still, these was empty promises.
Now suddenly, i need to send proof of banking details, though it was never asked or requested since i logged the complaint.
Really pathetic service. People are not doing their job properly! End of story. If you know that i need to submit this, why was this not mentioned or requested weeks ago?
Sometimes i think this is done on purpose, but hey, i am glad i am done with this stupid bank and the people working there.

I also hope that all future clients see this. People, go to other banks like Capitec. Those people know what customer service is and do assist people, the first time, how it should be
