Discovery Bank dictating how I use my money!
I'm personally fed up with trying to use Discovery Bank and having them block me spending and using my money how I want, I have had multiple instances in the last year of trying to make purchases or send funds to things where Discovery Bank just outright blocks me. After speaking to the vendor I have found out that Discovery Bank blocks people from making payment to FX brokers and betting, at the end of the day this is my money and I will use it how I want, you don't dictate what I use it on. As a result of this I am cancelling my Discovery account and recommend no one looking to sign up actually use this bank.

Discovery cannot control a payment
I am extremely disappointed with discovery bank, I made a payment not long ago where the website told me that the payment could not be processed however on my discovery app I got a authorisation pop-up and the payment was processed on my account. This was obviously an error on the website that happened as I have used this place before, the website is pearson vue for writing exams etc. So knowing an error occured and the payment is sitting on pending I contacted discovery to cancel or reverse the payment so I can redo it and all they tell me is that I have to wait 7 days to do something or they need something from the merchant to show that the payment can be reversed. So my bank won't do a damn thing and I cannot get something from PearsonVue to say this was a failure. This is ridiculous!

FNB Team Of Bankers *********** and Compltely Unwilling to Help
FNB's team of assistants or whatever they are simply refuse to help. I have an overdraft account that was R1000, I am struggling financially and as a result asked them to close the account so I do not accumulate a monthly account fee of 230, so FNB have been consistently charging me the monthly fee even though I am not using the account and I clearly told them to close it. They refuse to close it saying that I must settle the account to close it, they refuse to stop account fees until it is closed. What kind of ******ion is this, you cannot charge me an account fee for an account I am not using because you refuse to close it. You could seperate the overdraft amount and charge me interest on that and a charge on what a normal overdraft would be charged which would be fair enough but to continue to charge me a monthly account fee when I have clearly said I am not using the account and want it closed, this is absolute ******ion and ridiculous. To add to this, I was contacted earlier in the month of July to settle the account for an amount of 930 which was valid till the end of the month, I made a payment of 1150 yet the account is still active and they still refuse to close it and stop account fees. I am not paying a settlement amount that is 1700 above the owed overdraft amount because it accrued due to you people ******ing account fees, you over no account downgrades and ignore all queries as well as just flatout refusing to do anything. For those reading this, do not bother wasting your time signing up for FNB as a result of their so called team of bankers, they never help you, they always transfer you and ignore your query, very quick to take your money then do nothing to actually give you the service you are paying for.

Stock Market College - Poor Content Forced Subscription!
Stock Market College offer inferior training material, the attempt to enforce a ridiculous 36 month contract for what is essentially a subscription service, odd that sounds Netflix. When you attempt to cancel they just flat out ignore and you spin a nonsense story about how you can't. If you then stop payments they then threaten to ruin your credit record and attempt to shame you publicly. Word of advice to anyone looking into Stock Market College, DO NOT EVER sign up with them. They are nothing but a waste of time.

Stock Market College shady businss practices, ******ion, poor product offering.
The company offers training software that is not useful, the company tries to force you into a 36 month contract at R1 000 a month for online training software that could easily be completed within a month which is not updated ad refreshed. The company then tries to strong arm you into continuing to pay the monthly subscription, you cannot cancel, they will attempt to ****** you to pay the monthly fee by threatening to affect your credit profile. Stock Market College do not provide value for money and then attempt to ****** people once signed up. Kindston has now apparently uploaded something regarding my profile on Transunion which I beleive to be a lie and threatened to sue me if I make any information public, proving that they resort to ******ion, well this will fly. To all reading this do not sign up with anything to do with Stock Market College no matter what they promise, you receive contact that is old, no new content is provided and updated and the information itself is minuscule. The owners result in shady business tactics to get people to stick to a 36 month contract which is ******** in the first place. To anyone that reads this do not sign up with Stock Market College ever.

FRONTOSA Replace My Graphics Card With Pre-used S****
I am writing this in utter disbeleof disappointment. I sent back my wonderful Gigabyte Aprus RTX3080 Xtreme Edition GPU to Frontosa in October as the card was faulty, my card is covered under a 5 year warranty. So no problem I find out how to get it to them and need to work through Progenix, Progenic has given excellent serive and support in the process. So firstly after finding the fault Frontosa thankfully replace my card with a refurbished card of the same model. Then abiut 2 weeks ago the refurbished card dies on me, at this point now I am seriously frustrated but ok it happens, so I send the card back through the same process. Now here is the problem, firstly Frontosa won't match my graphics card and want to give me an inferior disappointment of a card, the want to give the Aorus RTX 3080 Xtreme Waterforce edition. First I am not happy with this as the card us clocked lower than my previous card, the card does not have the awesome statistic LCD on the side and because the card had an AIO I need to now mount a radiator in my case for it. This for me was extremely upsetting as I was not getting the same that I had or better, I enquired why I could not get a 4070ti which is less than what I paid originally and was told they do not have buffer stock, this in itself is *******. FRONTOSA should be giving me the same or better. Now the worst part, I get this replacement piece of s**** and I can clearly see this card has been used extensively, dust all over the radiator, the radiator is damaged and what's worse the box doesn't even contain the *****s I need to mount the radiator?!?!?!? Frontosa, rhis is seriously poor service, give me the same model or better, not so pre-uswd s**** you guys have! I need help resolving this!

Stock Market College is a **** and a Ponzi Scheme
Stock Market College is a **** and ponzi scheme. The company gives no way to cancel their contract which is *******, the company then if you try cancel the contract proceeds to attempt to bully you and shame you publicly and coerce you into continuing. Their site and contacts do now allow or even try to help you cancel, they insist that you must continue which is *******. The company barely has content to warrant 6 months of subscription, you get no real qualification, the content is extremely poor and low quality considering the price and length of forced subscription. To all looking into Stock Market College, the company is a **** and a ponzi scheme beware. The company incentivizes people to get others to sign up and get part of their monthly fee as their own, this is why I say it is a ponzi scheme, the company does not have enough content to warrant a 36 month contract.

STOCK MARKET COLLEGE is a **** and a ponzi scheme.
I would advise every single person against this business. They act in ******* business practices. First they attempt you force you stay involved in a 36 month contract with no cancelation option available which is against the national credit act completely. The have no option for cacnellation anywhere and when you tell them you are canceling they reside in an attempting to coerce you and to shame you into continuing. Legally they cannot force you to stay in a contract especially one where they have given you no product at a cost to them which you have kept. Furthermore, the company's training material is ******* and not worth the price, nothing is made clear on how poor it is when you start, secondly the company works with multi level marketing. No valid company behaves in such a manner. STOCK MARKET COLLEGE is a **** and a ponzi scheme. I was unable to cancel the debit order with my bank so my only option was to change my bank account which I have, I have now been threatened by Stock Market College with being blacklisted by the ITC and them responding with coercive and shaming tactics. I 100% recommend no one ever get involved with this **** of a company.
