Highly recommended
They kept me informed throughout the process. The staff were professional and friendly. The person that was initially dealing with my account had left the companies employ, but I was contacted by them when they realised there was a bit of a back log and promptly resolved the matter. Not once did I have to phone or follow up from my side.

For ease of mind
Last year I inquired about Debt Review from a different company (I have also rated them on this site) I didn't agree to apply and confirmed with them that I first wanted to know all the ins and outs, but without notice, my accounts were flagged and my near perfect credit score was zero. (I had recently had a baby and just wanted to see if it would be worth my while, although I had not skipped a payment up to that point.) Their service was horrendous and communication was like pulling teeth. The damage had been done. Naturally I was very scared to revisit the idea of debt review, given my previous experience, but after thorough research, I did an online inquiry and received a call-back. Not only did the consultant (Warren) immediately put my mind to rest, but the assistance I have received from Sameerah (Portfolio Manager) has been nothing short of amazing. I can contact them any time via WhatsApp, phonecall or email and the response-time is next to none, so I feel at ease with my decision and know that my financial state is well on it's way to be rectified. They keep me updated every step of the way.

Pyramid Scheme - The Datahub / TISSA cc
This is a Ponzi / Pyramid Scheme. I joined August 2019 and after receiving my "handbook" I realized that the "product" you need to sell is other people's personal information (email address/contact number) and receive an amount of R10/R15 per person that signs on to the company. This information is not disclosed when registering. Any company that wants you to pay to join, is more-than-likely a pyramid scheme. Further to this, herewith the definition of a pyramid scheme: "A pyramid scheme is a way of making money that cannot continue very long. It involves promising people payment, services or ideals, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme or training them to take part. It does not supply any real investment or sale of products or services to the public." In their handbook it says the following: Step 1: Read this entire handbook before you start to do anything. Get a basic idea of what you must do and what the rewards will be. Step 2: Pick one of the adverti*****ts in this handbook. (Adverti*****t section) or design your own similar adverti*****t. Note that you only need to generate names with email addresses to complete your worksheets. You do not have to communicate with anyone if you don’t want to. All you need to do is to capture the name and email address from every one that respond to your adverti*****t. You may however reply something like “Thank you for responding to our adverti*****t. You will receive full information within the next few days. Check your inbox!” This could increase your sales rate. Also keep your correspondence as professional as possible. If your clients ask questions please tell then to contact our support team directly for assistance. You do not need to give help and support to your clients. Note that you will not lose any commission if you refer you clients to us for help and information because if you capture this person’s email address on your list we will allocate it to YOU and YOU will get commission if your client buy ANYTHING from us (more on this in step 4). A good idea is to not use your personal email in your adverti*****ts. Create a new email account to use in your adverti*****ts. Get one from Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo etc. Try to get a “business like” name. Step 3: Now you must decide where to advertise. You may advertise on Facebook, free or paid internet ads, newspapers etc. You can advertise ANY where you want! FREE INTERNET ADVERTI*****TS. The best and most simple way is to advertise on the internet for free just search for “free classified sites South Africa”. You will find websites like Gumtree, Olx etc. Classified sites that have an employment section will work best. Just make sure you get South African classified sites! You may also want to consider to insert a paid adverti*****t on the internet as you will sometimes get over 3 times more exposure. A paid classified adverti*****t will cost you around R15 per week. As they say: “You get what you pay for”. Check out our chapter on advertising for more information. OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. Another way to get clients is to make frequent positive comments on our Facebook page. Go to our Facebook page www.facebook.com/tissacc and make positive comments where due. For example post comments that you have received your package and you get professional support. Comments like “I received my package today, can’t wait to start!”, “The support team are so helpful and friendly”, “I received my payment today without problems”, “So happy to be a member!” etc. We have hundreds of people that visit our Facebook page daily and when you make positive comments they will inbox you. Ask them for their email address so that you can send them more information. Capture the name and email address on your list (more on that later in step 4) and send your list to us so that when your client join, you will get the commission. The more positive comments you make the more potential clients you will get. Just be careful not to overdo it! NEWSPAPERS. You may also use newspapers for your adverti*****ts. A small classified adverti*****t in a newspaper (you may use ANY newspaper in SA) will cost you between R20 and R150. You should be able to generate at least 200 ‐ 500 names and email addresses per adverti*****t. Most of the time it is really worth it to use paid adverti*****ts in newspapers. Although you will need a few rand for your first adverti*****ts you will not be disappointed by the overwhelming response. On page 9 of this handbook is a list with some good newspapers in South Africa. Contact the newspaper and ask for the email address or fax number for the small adverti*****t department. Once you have the email address or fax number you can send your adverti*****t you want to place and ask for a quotation. If you are satisfied with your selected newspaper and with the price of the adverti*****t you can make the deposit and place your adverti*****t. Step 4: People will now start to respond to your adverti*****t. It is a good idea to have a separate cell number (newspaper ads) and email address for people to respond to the adverti*****t. For newspaper ads with a SMS number, you do not have to answer the cell phone if you do not want to. Divert all incoming calls to your mailbox. A good idea is to record a personal greeting, something like “SMS or email your name and email address to receive more information”. So when someone tries to call you they get this message to send an SMS. We recommend only to use an email address in your adverti*****ts, especially for the internet ads. Once or twice a day copy all the names and email addresses from people that responded to your adverti*****t to your worksheet. You received a worksheet attached to you membership email. You may also download a template from the members area or ask support@tissa.co.za to email you a worksheet template. Your email addresses need to be send to us at least every 3 DAYS! People that responded to your adverti*****t do not expect to wait weeks to receive more information. You must remember that the people that responded are waiting for the information. The sooner we receive your names and email addresses the sooner we can send the information (order forms) to them and the higher your response rate will be. PLEASE ONLY SEND US EMAIL ADDRESSES GENERATED FROM YOUR ADVERTI*****TS. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT NAMES AND EMAIL ADDRESSES FROM ANY EMAIL LISTS OR DATABASES. Your email addresses will be verified and we reserve the right to ask for proof of adverti*****t. Note that we need the email addresses to be typed in an excel spread sheet. Download the template from the members area or ask support@tissa.co.za to email you one. They further go on to explain the "earnings" and advise information on HOW to advertise. Keeping the above in mind - Please check their Facebook page as well as their positive reviews on HelloPeter and you should be able to realize for yourself that it's all lies and people are posting purely out of desperation in order to generate an income.
