VW MASTERCARS
Ismail Seedat June 4, 2009
Is VWSA in contradiction of their own standards? How can VWSA state 'You will love them because they have been loved' on their website and ad material when the mastercar we bought has been confirmed to have been repaired by a non vw approved workshop prior to our purchase. If the car was 'loved' it would have been repaired and painted at an approved shop. Now the evidence is showing of substandard repairs. Is this a mastercar? VWSA did not inspect the vehicle or bother having it done by an approved expert... read full review »

Consumer Complaints
Ismail Seedat June 4, 2009
Why would Annette Stewart of the KZN Division of the RMI take a consumers complaints against their member Newcastle VW and twist the entire complaint? First she said that they cannot do anything about our complaints due to us opening a police case against their member. After posting complaints on hellopeter.com about RMI, she called me to confirm that she will be sending the member a letter of suspension. Then she twisted the entire complaint whereby she put together a "biased" review wherein she has twisted our entire... read full review »

Be aware Integrat ripps you off... they own brain teasers etc... To whom it may concern, I have received a phone bill where I was charged for Content services R50 incl tax. When I investigated where it comes from I realised it has to do with a company INTEGRAT.CO.ZA. They have charged me for ONE SMS R50 on my telephone bill, which is absolutely ridiculous. I have asked them to please supply me with proof of a contract that I have entered in and they have not been able to sent me any proof yet. I find it disgraceful that a company... read full review »

martie du preez June 1, 2009
Was adviced by our wonderfull UIF Department after several calls, emails and personal visits, that no documentation have been received from my side. No claim of mine have been submitted. What is so extremely amazing of this department is that I was told to come in and identify the person who submitted my claim as well as to help her look for my application. If the government is in need of staff to do the job why do they not employ me (i'm jobless) and last but not the least surely they think that us who is without jobs still have a income... read full review »

Mom's UIF Assist Reply May 28, 2009
In answer to Marihet about her refund. We did pay her, her refund on the 22 of May. Up until this date I was not in my offices because of the Baby Expo in Jhb. On our website it is clearly stated that you can only claim UIF 1) if UIF is deducted from your salary 2) that if you only work on commission you can not claim UIF. This is the law and is also in the Act that is freely available on the Labour website. I also feel that the clients employer/HR department should have informed her about this when she was employed or at least when she fell... read full review »

RA Wilson
Norman May 26, 2009
In 1989 I started running my business from home, trading as Norman’s Panelshop, specialising in panel beating and spray painting. I knew from advice given to me that I was liable to pay tax to South African Revenue Services and therefore employed Mr. Van Niekerk as my accountant. In the year 2000 the business started running at a loss and in order to cut down on expenses, I terminated the services of Mr. Van Niekerk on 12 September 2000 (see attachment). In that same year, my daughter Carmen completed the National Diploma in... read full review »

Private/Famous Bowl
Mrs D Leggott May 26, 2009
Yesterday 25 May 2009 I went to KFC in Primrose Germiston and bought a Famous Bowl and small Pops. Not too long after had eaten my meal I had stomach cramps, tremendous wind in my stomach and spent most of the night on the toilet with a runny stomach. I feel this should be brought to your attention. Obviously something was amiss with the food purchased from this particular store. Kindly investigate and let me have your comments. Many thanks.

Discovery credit card
Quintin Nellis Jonck May 22, 2009
I own a credit card with Discovery that has voyager miles connected to the card. Last year I saw a option on the internet that gave me fast miles option that increases the miles by the amount you spend. The function they had was just a activation function. So I was under the impression I have to activate the fast miles first, because I paid a Pro Rata fee for the rest of the year. About a week ago I saw they took R1850 for the fast miles a year direct of my account. I then went to FNB which helped me lodge a complaint with discovery. The... read full review »

McDonalds/ Malibongwe Drive
Miss Ramharakh May 21, 2009
We recieved absolutely pathetic and unacceptable service from McDonalds!!! They are suppose to be a fast food outlet but instead its more like a resturant where they take long to make your food. we waited over 15 minutes for our food and that too our english muffins were burnt! the reason i stopped at Mcdonalds was becuase i was rushing to work and needed to get some breakfast at a FAST FOOD outlet. To put the cherry on the top, the scrambled eggs were tasteless and McDonald's did not have salt in stock!!! read full review »

Moms UIF Assist
Marihett May 20, 2009
I have paid Moms UIF assist R600-00 to help me claim maternity UIF. All to find out from the Department of Labor, that I don't qaulify for maternity uif (I earn only commission). The staff at Moms UIF Assist wasn't aware that commission earners don't qualify. Now I battle to get a refund from them! I paid for a service which I did not receive. In fact they waisted my time & money because they don't have the proper knowledge of claiming UIF. I have contacted them numerous times & I don't get any response. they e-mailed me on the 13th of May to get my banking details for the refund, but I never received it. read full review »

I've bought a 1000VA UPS from PC Game & Computer World, Centurion Branch. About a year later the UPS failed and I took it back to PC Game World so they can send it back to the manufacturer for repairs. At first they didn't like it because the UPS has been opened before. Normally this would void any warranty, but how else do you replace the battery??? But finally they agreed to send it back to the manufacturer. 5 Months later they have not given me a SINGLE phone call! I also phoned in once and on anohter occation I... read full review »

SPCA Clinic Springfield Park, Durban
Arashika May 18, 2009
On the first occasion I was appalled at the SPCA was when my domestic worker had taken her dog to the SPCA and was turned away. Her dog’s uterus had popped out. She had then taken her dog in a bus to the SPCA for treatment but was turned away because she had not had ample money. My domestic worker had not told me about this or else I would have taken the dog straight to my Vet. Eventually the dog’s uterus replaced itself and she only told me months later. I was very cross but had not pursued the matter as it was so late down the... read full review »

In february 2000 I requested a transafer to any Eastern Cape branch which is nearer home because my home is in the EC. I was transferred to kwaNobuhle and then later to East London. All along we were working smoothly with Prime Cure until I got to East London. There I was not seeing eye to eye with the manager Mr Grobler Chris and that led termination of my duties.
