Peoples choice blunder again
I went to get petrol today and found my ATM card had been blocked after I put fuel in my vehicle . The fuel depo invoiced me and told me if I did not fix the issue up asap I would be visited by the police . I bank with peoples choice so I contacted their customer care to find out why my card was stopped without my knowledge. I was answered by a lady who in a Indian accent said she would put me threw to peoples choice credit union fraud team . Another foreign voice greeted me and I was told that I was going to be helped, instead I was sent to a survey and the call ended . I rang again and same deal. I rang again and was refused to be put through to the appropriate service by people choices Indian call centre representative. When I rang again I was left on hold and ignored. It is 320 pm and my ordeal started at around 7 am . The service given me was terrible , the service operates was arrogant and if in a fraud situation my bank account would have been cleaned out . I still have no money and am concerned I will be charged for ivading paying for my petrol. I had no clue why peoples. Hoice froze my card or why I deserved as a long time customer to be treated so poorly by peoples choice e credit union Berri SA. Being my bill day it and our gro very day I e bin left to explain to family and creditors , why I cannot pay them . This is not acceptable and peoples choice e should have contacted me first to ask if my bank card had been used without my consent . Instead I'm have lost half a days work am hungry and cannot pay my overhead s. The inconvenience of peoples choice ser ice has left me bewildered only a few branch's between my home and Adelaide, three hours drive away and with no help f r om peoples choice it . Any body got a meal for myself and family tonight. I will not make any other recommendation to peoples choice than to say that operating without expressed consent and giving customers a negative outcome with their money really won't gain customers and that this issue should be resolved asap. I would not recommend peoples choice and will be changing banks Monday. My weekend is spoilt along with my family's. Regards Dave I am happy to say that after ringing peoples choice again , I have finally got a good operator from m their call centre in Australia and my greviences have been addressed in a professional manner by a local representative. In future having people who understand my language would be an advantage to this credit union and swell being asked if iam aware that I could be the victim of a suspected fraudulent transaction on my account would be advantages to this mix up happening. Regards peoples choice fir fixing the issue . Mistakes do happen , it's how you deal with them that makes the difference to the customer and that a positive outcome can be obtained for clientele.
