absa home loans
babele July 6, 2011
Being a loyal absa client for 10 to 15 years, left me in great dissapointment. On the 10th of June 2011, i applied for the further loan to do the rennovations on my property.The application dragged for a very long period, though i was promised it will only take 3 to 5 working days. In that long waiting period, on the 27/06/2011 i was then called, and dissapointedly, not even approved on what i put on the table, far less than that. I then, the following day declined the offer. On the 4th of July 2011, i decided to go to absa branch in pretoria... read full review »

MTN Direct Online
Bongani Mavuso July 5, 2011
MTN has unqualified, bad and some staff members who do not know what they do. I have applied for a contract phone online, and it's been two weeks I haven't received that phone. No one seems to care about me, they always make promises that my phone will be delivered to me through the so called useless RTT company. I have decided to cancel that contact over the phone, and they told me stories that I did not even want to hear. MTN is nothing but a useless corporation that employs useless people. Jesus will come back without showing us the reason behind MTN's bad customer care. read full review »

I'm one of the thousands of people who targeted for SMS & Junk Mail by Call Direct. At least once a month you receive an SMS from them RE: Personal loan. On 7 June 2011 I received yet another from them. The text stated that if you wish to opt-out you simply needed to reply with a "NO". Which I promptly did. Today (4 July) I received yet another SMS from them - exact copy of the previous SMS ad. How many people do they con out of money by not honouring one's wishes to opt-OUT??? According to Marketing & Privacy laws if a person Opts Out the company must remove them immediately from all marketing databases. read full review »
