Unable or unwilling to assist

I have sent VARIOUS emails to VARIOUS email addresses and it seems that no one is prepared to assist me. I have copied and pasted the emails but edited out some personal information. It seems that Standard bank is not willing to assist to solve my problem. Technically I have sent emails to 4 email addresses, that is why I mentioned it in my 3rd email.

EMAIL 1 - 24 Aug - sent to - ***, ***

To whom this may concern

I made a payment to *** in New Zealand with my credit card. I am currently in New Zealand. Shortly thereafter I received an sms which stated that my credit card has been temporarily suspended. This is unacceptable. Please allow the transaction to go through as I am not able to contact the ***** line via telephone.

Please contact me with further details.

EMAIL 1 - Standard bank response Dear Client

My reply on the last EMAIL 3 - 26 Aug

Good morning

This is impossible to not have it on file as I receive my monthly banking banking statements at this email address.

Yours sincerely

RESPONSE FROM Consultant
Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your email
You have come through to Standard Bank Isle of Man, I am unable to access local South African Accounts if this is with regards to a local South African account
You would need to contact South Africa directly on ***or +***3
Alternatively on ***
I hope this helps
Kind Regards,

Why am I being passed around to VARIOUS EMAIL ADDRESSES AND CONSULTANTS? So frustrating...
