Rude Agent

I opened an account sometime ago and didn't collect my card, recently when I wanted to collect my card, the account is blocked, today I went to try again the lady at Pick n Pay Ushaka Mall and the lady assisted me(refica process) with outstanding customer service skills, I was happy, then she gave me a contact center number to request the account to be unblocked. At first the gentleman assisted me as one would expect, however he put me through ***** department where the agent(Mandla) was rude and arrogant, the tone of his voice was nothing but a command the while time there after he arrogantly told me he couldn't help me in that department because my case was not related to ***** but fica verification. And I had been telling him from the onset and he wouldn't listen to me but kept commanding me ,I quote, I EXPECT NOTHING ELSE FROM YOU EXCEPT "yes or no.", Unquote. After all the military drills he told me he would return me to the previous department and that's when I told me I'm no longer interested in the account, I'm done.

If I have to receive this treatment now with R0.00 in my account, what kind of treatment do I expect should funds disappear from this account in future?

Before I rate the interaction please explain the reason for charging me a replacement fee of R70 when I had never collected the card before. After the call I went back to Pick n Pay Stanger Ushaka Mall to collect my card but surprisingly I had to pay R89 in total in order for me to get my card and I see that I have been charged a replacement fee, how so?

Hi, thank you very much for the most outstanding service I have received, the fee was reversed immediately after I had a call from Portia and this morning Nontobeko did a follow up in that regard and it feels good to know Tymebank goes that extra mile to satisfy its customers. Thank you so much Nontobeko, Portia and the lady who works at Tymebank PnP Ushaka Mall KwaDukuza, you guys deserve a 5*
