Closed account 2 years ago. Now I suddenly owe money.
I recently got invoices from vodacom which states I owe them money. I haven't been a vodacom client for 2 years! They want to hand the account over to collections. I tried to find contact email addresses online with no success. And the so called customer care number requires you to enter your vodacom number which I haven't one of. Not even to talk of the pathetic tobi chat bot. Seems these big useless and mostly hated corporate companies don't want to be reachable anymore. I urge someone from vodacom make contact with me regarding this account or I will approach ICASA, The Ombuds Man and The National Consumer Commission.

My business is closed temporarly because of Nedbank's incompetance.
How much longer do I need to keep my business closed because of Nedbank's incompetence? I made an international payment to a supplier of a huge amount. According to EU REGULATION 2015/847 (which has been in affect for the past 8 years) which states that the payer's business address needs to be included in the SWIFT transaction in order for the bank in the other country to pay over the funds to the business (recipient). Nedbank have neglected to include this information and I have been battling since 29 September to get this rectified. This is a big tender I'm busy with and had to use almost all the capitol in my business account to fund this project. As I expected and planned that the transaction will go smooth and the products that I have ordered from this supplier overseas would already arrived in order for me to get paid for this tender. Currently my day to day operations are affected and had to close down my business and had to send my employees home and they are working short time because of Nedbank's incompetence. I have my lawyer working on this matter at the moment and there will be hell for Nedbank for affecting a business's operations. I will definitely switching banks. Clearly Nedbank doesn't want to walk a path with me as a business that has grown exponentially over the last year.

Code 3 & tampered odometer vehicle
I was interested in a Toyota Hilux 2.5D-4D 4x4 they listed. I obtained the VIN number from them and did a background check. The Natis status of the vehicle shows it is a code 3 vehicle. Obviously they wouldn't list it in their listing. I did a service history check at a Toyota dealership and found that the last service was done at 210 000 km. The listing shows the vehicle has 129 000 km. Clearly there has been tampered with the odometer. Furthermore the dealer pointed out that it isn't a 2015 model, but a 2014 model. Again another incorrect listing. My advice, always request a VIN number and do your homework before making a decision before purchasing. Luckily I did my homework thoroughly.

Overnight parcel delayed by 2 days because of difference in dimensions
A shipment was arranged for OVERNIGHT delivery from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth for me. As it was URGENT and I requested for OVERNIGHT delivery, I expect OVERNIGHT delivery. Apparently there is a shortfall of R384 because the parcel is a bit bigger than was originally sent through. I'm happy to pay the difference, because I need this parcel by 11:00 today. Now I hear that this will result in a 1 to 2 day delay as mentioned by Lizelle in the accounts department. This is absolutely BULL ****!!!! I won't tolerate this unacceptable service as I already paid for OVERNIGHT.

Parcel still not delivered after notification from the previous day
We have been waiting for an urgent parcel from Johannesburg from a supplier of ours which is for an installation at a client of ours. The parcel was sent on Thursday 1 September. I got a notification 07:45 yesterday morning that said the parcel would be delivered by the end of the day. It was never delivered. I followed up this morning and the person in the tracking department had a list of excuses and said it would be delivered today. I asked her WHEN????? I needed to give our client a time of installation as they were at the point of cancelling the installation and go with another provider. She couldn't give me a time. Hint of advise to anyone. PLEASE DO NOT use The Courier Guy as they will cost you pain, frustration, cursing, swearing and your business. We will NEVER use The Courier Guy again.

Price discrepancy from shelf to till. Consumers PLEASE check that you don't get overcharged.
Every time I get to any Builders Warehouse or Builders Express there is a price discrepancy. The price at the shelf is cheaper than what it is at the till. I always have to take pictures when at the shelf of what the item costs and show the person at the till. And sometimes there is a big difference in the amount like wire rope was R88 at the shelf and R95 at the till. This is unacceptable and the consumer shouldn't every time at the till inform them of the price difference. Consumers, PLEASE check what the item costs at the shelf and what you pay at the till. You might get overcharged.

Afrihost refuses to lift storage quota temporary to make a backup
We trying to make a backup in order to free up space on the server for the mail server. We unfortunately need a backup as we need all the old emails for reference purposes. One of your employee's, Siphiwe M was very unhelpful in this regard. He says that the quota can't be lifted temporary in order for us to make a backup before we clean up on the mail server. He said we need to upgrade our package in order for the backup to be done. If that is the case, we will be forced to upgrade temporary to do the backup and cancel all services with Afrihost and find another service provider.

Store closed earlier than shown on internet
I went to Checkers Hyper Baywest Mall Port Elizabeth on Friday evening 16 July 2021 at 18:15. When I got there, the security person inside showed me that they are closed. I told him that they only close at 19:00. He replied that they are closed. I left there angry and went somewhere else to spend my R3000 on groceries. Google shows that the store closes at 19:00. I'm really angry and disappointment and won't do shopping at any Checkers in the future.

Excellent service with Blom van Vuuren at Nedbank Baywest, Port Elizabeth
I had so much pleasure with each step and part of the process of switching my personal cheque account and business account from Standard Bank to Nedbank. From opening the accounts to the speedy delivery of my cards and motivating my credit card application. One particular person that stands out is Blom van Vuuren from the Baywest Mall Branch in Port Elizabeth. Nedbank, great to have someone like Blom in your team that doesn't just walk the extra mile for you, but the extra 1000 miles. They say that everyone is replaceable in the corporate world, trust me if I say that Blom is unreplacable. Look after Blom Nedbank. I had such a good experience that I convinced 2 other people that I know that is with Standard Bank to switch to Nedbank and will continue to recommend Nedbank to the people in my circles.

Taking time for an emergency loan
I'm extremely disappointed with Standard Bank after waiting and waiting and waiting for increasing my RCP limit as I urgently need the credit to do urgent repairs to my vehicle. Currently I to rely on alternative transport to be able to work. I have submitted my request on 22 April 2021. I got a contract emailed from Standard Bank which indicated that my application was successful and it stipulated the loan amount, monthly payments and duration of the loan. Standard Bank sent me an email requesting to send me a copy of my payslip and 3 months bank statements, which I did. Currently I have my own business as well I'm consulting for my brother's company as well, and have two sources of income. I have been emailing and phoning to the call center to speed up the process, but nothing. Here is the one reference number: 7036351264 Standard Bank is quick to take my money monthly for their services, but when I'm in desperate need of help, they take their time. I might as well close my personal cheque account and business account and open new accounts with another bank that will be quick to help me with an emergency loan. I might as well consider going with another bank after being loyal and being with Standard Bank for 20 years. Convince me otherwise. Time for a fresh start...
