Terrible service from TFG

I have just placed on an online order at Markham and wanted my e-mail address updated. In this day and age one still has to make contact with call centre drones who lack empathy. I got through to a Chad Winford who, to the best of his "abilities", asked me questions supposedly generated by the Credit Bureau. After answering all questions, I was then told that I am unable to update my e-mail address as I answered one or more questions incorrectly, to which I was asked more questions and was subsequently told, my card has been blocked. What utter *******!!! I was then told to go instore with a 3 month bank statement, ID and proof of residence to unblock, SERIOUSLY!!!???? I asked to speak to Chad's superior and the standard "my manager will tell you the same thing" excuse was offered, how are we as consumers made to believe that our shopping experiences are made easier when people like these offer little to no resolutions? I was given a reference, possibly for the interaction - A ********** 0. What was supposed to be an easy call now turned into a sour experience. TFG, update your policies! Why should I now be penalised for your ineptitude????

Reviewer Update
Update It was something so simple, all I wanted was my e-mail address to be updated. The agent who handled the call could have given me this information (to go instore and have it updated), instead of asking all these questions from way back. Also, Im not sure what sort of voucher it is that has been sent, whether it has been sent or is still on its way but thus far I have not received anything. Thank you for the consideration of the voucher as that was not my intention, it was merely to highlight an area of development in your business.
