Active since May 2020
Alexforbes is the administrator of the retirement funds for my employer. I submitted a claim for my 2-pot retirement savings on 20 September 2024 (claim #5461802) and today, almost a month later, it still has not been paid out. It turns out that my Tax Directive which was submitted 20 days ago was declined by SARS as I recently had an incident whereby another tax number was created without my authorisation under my SA ID (I had used my passport to get my tax reference no. as I was not yet a permanent resident and therefore did not have an SA ID number) so my tax number on the directive was different from the number SARS could pick up. Instead of Alexforbes informing me that my Tax Directive was declined by SARS, they did nothing. No update was provided on AF Connect either which I was checking almost daily, it just showed that the process was at the "Tax Application" stage. After being on that same status for 4 days, I submitted a request for a callback on AF Connect which was to be attended to within 48 hours. Nobody bothered calling me back. I tried to call on 0860 896 768 but the automated guide and bots would not allow me to proceed to speak to a consultant. The matter of the 'additional' tax reference number under my profile was resolved by SARS per the notice of tax registration which I emailed to Alexforbes together with a copy of my SA ID after eventually getting through to a consultant on 11 Oct 2024 using the telephone number 011 269 0000 whiich was provided to me by a friend who works for Momentum. I still do not even have a response to my email sent on 11 Oct 2024 (other than automated email response indicating a 20-working day turnaround period, imagine!), nor the follow up email which I sent today, 15 Oct 2024. Very poor service indeed. ☹️☹️☹️
Street Aesthetics SA is a fraudulent organisation, these thieves will take your money and you will never hear from them again. Nobody responds to emails or messages to the email address and number provided on the website. Steer clear of this criminal website at all costs.
This is an unethical organisation run by crooks. After they were in breach of contract after not attending to a severe mould problem in the bedrooms and bathrooms which posed a significant health risk for over a year, my deposit of R10 117 was witheld to cover one month's rent penalty and over R4.5K in damages that were never explained to me. They now say I still owe them a further R821.44! Contract with these thieves at your own risk.
Very professional outfit, 5-star service all the way. Really nice touch, keep it up and the customers will keep coming! Kudos to the sales executive I dealt with Gerhard Kruger. Thank you for keeping me updated throughout every step of the process.
