Terrible help/call centre service

Firstly let me say the phone app works well and I usually manage to get all I need done on the app. My frustration is with the call/help centre when I do have to phone in. I have tried holding on and have waited up to 15 minutes before giving up in frustration. I have tried leaving my number so they can call back when I am first in the queue - must be a long queue because I am still waiting impatiently to address a problem with the on-line banking. Surely they can afford to pay a few more call centre personnel!

This is the kind of useless response I have had before when complaining about poor call centre service. If that is your best then I would hate you to stop trying. I have now been waiting more than 20 minutes for that call back.
