unable to use card

I opened up an elite account 2 months back online, I was sent an sms to pick up my card at the branch in gateway where they had they sorted everything else that needed to be done and my card was handed to me. I then tried using the card and it stated that there are no accounts linked to the card. I had went into the branch at gateway where one of the consultants assisted me and advised me that everything was fine I again tried to use my card a few days later and it gave me the same error I called in to the customer care department which advised me that there was a stop on the card and they had now resolved the issue, a month later and I try to use my card again and it gives me the same story I called back to the callcentre and with no joy they advised me to go the branch which I had done yesterday and they told me that there is still a stop on the card and will be resolved its a day now and still nothing has been done about this these guys have been making me run around to get this resolved and still it has not been sorted, I am not going to pay bank chargers on an account that has not been sorted out for the past 2 months, I need to use my account as I get paid into that account and need to withdraw for bills that need to be paid is std bank going to stand responsible for the late payments???? I am ****ed with the service I have received and want this sorted out immediately

Reviewer Update
I just got off the call with one of your consultants by the name of Lerato who had advised me that the block on the card has been removed and I will only be able to use the card after 24hrs or I need to go into the nearest branch to withdraw money, which you guys are inconveniencing me and are now making this my I cannot go the branch every time I need to take out money and what happens if I'm walking around with all this money and get ****** is the bank going to stand responsibility for that because from what I see right now this is a problem on your side not mine so why should I bear the brunt of your guys inconsistency... I was told a month ago that the block was removed from my account and I would be able to use the card after 24hrs yet its been a month and still I cant use it,,, I will not wait another 24hrs so you guys need to ensure that this is sorted out ASAP... Its sad to say but I have never experienced this problem with Capitec or FNB and I hold up accounts with both those banks and have received the best of service from them this is certainly the first and I hope the last... Please have this sorted out by 12pm today as I need to use this card at 2pm.
