Call Direct
SonetG July 4, 2011
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 »

I recently damaged my vehicle because of a street-light pole that is situated in the driveway of a residence in Wierda Park. The street-light pole is planted in such a position that causes it to be a hazard. Numerous vehicles have been damaged by this specific pole. I will receive a quotation for the repairs to my vehicle shortly, which will be forwarded to yourselves soonest. The only question I have at this stage is what the correct claims procedure is, and to whom I must address my claim, if not to yourselves. The exact location is as follows: 42 Breyten street Wierda Park read full review »
