After a presentation we joined Travel quest. We only had access to the website 6 weeks after signing up. We realized that the concept was not what they pretended it to be. We tried to cancel but the 5 day cool off period already expired. Since we paid for the service I tried to make bookings with no success. I kept copies of all my e mails When we instructed them to stop our Stop order at Standard Bank, they refused. When we signed up we chose the shortest period available since we are not that young any more. They threw in an... read full review »

Despite having passed my exam on the 4th of October (and having emailed a scanned copy of my results) I am still not credited with the 'Pass' I have escalated this to Pearson support, but apart from being told that they do not have to do anything by some very rude and passive aggressive operators nothing has happened.

In August, 2010, I asked a question about a problem I was having with Excel.

I have been to Key Pinetown to have my rear brakes replaced in march 2010. The drums were skimmed and new linings were put in. But i have been having a problem ever since, Apparently Key Pinetown uses a sub contracting company called Brakewell to repare and replace braking systems on all vehicles sent to them. My problem is that there is a distinctivly loud noise and whining sound that could wake up the dead caused by the 'new' brakes that were put in. It also doesn't break evenly, i can feel the brakes hold and release, and... read full review »

My husband was employed by Protea Coin, Port Elizabeth for a period of two years. He resigned at the end of July, and is still waiting for his papers for the provident fund. We have send numerous sms's in this regard to his direct supervisor to no avail. On enquiry, two weeks ago, Veronica, the HR clerk, was sarcastic in saying that she will have to find out from the postman where the parcel containing the documents was, but that she will now courier it. Attempts to get the illusive waybill number has fallen on deaf ears, and we are now at our wit's end! read full review »
