Account suspended

I called the Foschini call centre last week as I needed to change my e mail address in order to receive my monthly statements. as I start a new position with a different company on the 1st August . The agent and I went through some questions from the credit bureau.Upon completion the agent informed me that I had failed the test and would need to submit 3 months back statements.I objected to this as I am not applying for credit. She then informed me that my account would be blocked if I did not submit the documentation. So my account is suspended and from the 1st of August you have no way of getting me statement to me unless you post it.

I am furious to be treated in this manner.I am a longstanding customer, I have always paid my account.

In this economic climate are you really that keen to force a customer to stop buying from you?

Thanks for your response, I understand security measures are necessary , and would have been perfectly happy to go in store and produce my account card and ID book, however I refuse to supply the bank statements.

I will pay of the balance and simply go elsewhere for my purchases.
