Standard Bank account excessive monthly service fee
I have been a customer of Standard Bank for many years. My income is limited as a pensioner. Their monthly service fee of R230 is excessive, which I can not afford. This for circa 5 transactions per month. Brought this to their attention via email. Standard bank did reply after a week and promised some one would contact me and discuss the matter. A week and another R230 service deduction later, no contact. I see FNB Easy PAYU account is only R6.50 per month. Will be closing Standard Bank account.

Union Tiles Ballito - Poor Customer Service
Bought 2 packs of tiles from Union Tiles Ballito recently, on two different occasions. Union Tiles Ballito explicitly said each time, should we want to return the tiles, tiles must be in the original packaging and purchasing invoices need to be presented. Tried to exchange the tiles today in compliance with their stated return policy. Union Tiles Ballito now refuses to exchange the tiles. I will also be taken this matter up with the Consumers Council.

PnP attitude towards Covid-19 - We've received your inquiry | 406620 2020/06/10
Received no response from PnP towards inquiry | 406620 2020/06/10. Teller served person in front of me who paid cash (paper money). She handled the cash. She had no sanitiser at her till and obviously did not sanitise her hands before attending to my purchases. Except from not having sanitiser at her till, it is common knowledge that paper money is very dirty and can spread diseases. PnP should address the training of their personnel, from the store manager to what ever!

Excellent service
Been buying from Chamberlains for ages. Bought 20L paint last week. On opening it, found I took the wrong colour, my mistake. Can not use this colour. Returned it today, gave me full refund although it had been opened. Thank you for the excellent service.

Bad tax advice - poor service
I had the misfortune to to be introduced to meet Andre Strydom & Associaites (ASA) through a colleague in 2000, and make use of his services. ASA introduced himself as an Advocate and tax specialist. The majority of my colleagues opted to make use of his services at the time. He structured all our tax affairs, using trusts as a tax vehicle. Each year he did our tax returns and filed it with SARS. My 2000 to 2004 returns were rejected by SARS, them reassessing it and demanding payment accordingly. I referred these matters to ASA each time, which he supposedly “took care” of. According to him, his assessments were right and SARS was wrong, I had nothing to worry about. In 2008 SARS filed a judgement against me for the outstanding taxes, which by now incurred penalties and interest. I immediately brought this matter to ASA attention at the time. ASA promised me he would take the matter up with SARS and the Court and resolve it. I paid him for his services in advance. Once more according to him he was right and SARS was wrong. In 2011 SARS filed another judgment against me for the same tax returns. I tried to get ASA to the resolve the matter. He ducked and dived me when trying to meet with him. I demanded copies all his previous correspondence with SARS and the Court. Each time I phoned him or met with him he promised me he is taking care of the matter. I requested ASA to include me in all current correspondence with the relevant parties at the time. I arranged a number of meetings during this period with SARS, which ASA was supposed to attended with me . He did not attend any of the meetings, always an excuse why he could not make it. To date I have not received any of his correspondence with SARS or the Court. In 2013 I eventually resolved the matter with SARS myself, paying SARS all the required outstanding taxes, penalties and interest. Not one of my old colleagues make use of ASA any more. All had encountered either similar experiences and / or poor service. In 2018 a person unknown to me at the time contacted me regarding ASA and his operation as Advocate and tax specialist. In late 2018 this person informed me that he could not find any proof that ASA is or was a registered Advocate, Lawyer or Tax Practitioner. I have not verified this information myself. However, learning to know this person and my experiences with ASA, I believe this information could be true.
