ABSA *****ed to the Core
ABSA.... Never make the error of trusting them. They are *****ed to the core. If you thought Cyril hiding dollars was bad, ABSA is worse. Had ABSA acc since 1981 after leaving school. Had acc all my working life for salary for 45 yrs. When I became a pensioner, I informed ABSA I am going to have an issue with current payments on my Credit Card and Cheque overdraft. ABSA said, no problem. We will give you a loan over 12 months to pay your overdraft and cc. As soon as the loan was paid off, ABSA now demanded higher payment on overdraft and cc. I could not increase instalment. In steps villian no. 2, MacRoberts Attorneys, ABSA's partner in crime. I informed them I could not increase instalments about a year ago. They went silent. This year I, without further demand, i increased the instalments from R750 to R1000 each for both ABSA CC and Cheque accounts After that increase McRoberts Attorneys decided to grab some credit for my effort and said Thank you. Now they are demanding R1205 per month or they will go to the courts. MacRobert Attorneys - You qualify to be Cyrils Strategic Partner at Law Angelique Van Der Berg, you should be Cyrils attorney. If your client, ABSA forced a loan down my throat to pay their bills. Are they going to give me another loan to pay their bills again or as per your threat, take me to the courts. Who do you think is going to pay for the legal costs.... MacRoberts, you now want to further abuse a fellow South African just like Cyril. You think ABSA is your friend. Think again.

Temu - GFS Delivery Useless.
GFS is used by TEMU as last mile deliver in SA. A parcel comes quicker from time of order in China to Jhb than from Jhb to Dbn managed by GFS. Last mile delivery is done as per Uber schedule. If selected Uber is not coming your way.... JUST WAIT till one is coming your way. Feedback and order tracking is also non-existent. I have informed Temu. I will stop buying from them if they continue using GFS.

Absa - *******ion - No Accountability For Irresponsible Lending.
I have banked with Absa since 1981 when they were still United Bank. ( 44 years means nothing to them ). I turned 60 in June 2025 and started collecting a SASSA Old Age Grant. I went to Absa around then and informed them that my income has changed and that I would not be able to pay my current Credit Card and Cheque Payments at the same expected rate due my SASSA status. Absa said, No problem..... we will give a micro loan to pay your accounts. I have been paying the 3 instalments accepted by Absa since then. Credit Card, Cheque Overdraft and Micro Loan. i also requested them to close both my Cheque and Credit Card accounts. Now that the micro loan has been paid up, I am still paying the installment on Cheque Overdraft and Credit Card. Absa has instructed MacRoberts Attorneys based in Pretoria ( I live in Durban ) who instructed another attorney in Verulam to sue me to amend their payment arrangements with me. Guess who is gona pay the legal cost of this..... ME. NEVER EVER TRUST ABSA.....THEY REPRESENT *******ION TO THE CORE.

NEVER TRUST LEGALWISE WITH LEGAL MATTERS.... THEY CANNOT MANAGE A ****UP IN A BAR.
I handed over a legal matter after i suffered an approx R125k loss against a building contractor to Legalwise over 10 years ago. Within the 1st 5 years, Legalwise lost all the documents and receipts i gave as evidence 3 times. Every time, i had to make copies at my cost and give them a new file. This 1st attorney they allocated, had the file for 7 years and he did NOTHING. My numerous requests to escalate the matter was never attended to by Legalwise. Thats how Legalwise will manages your affairs. They have now allocated a 3rd attorney in mid 2023. He has been battling to locate files ever since. As per Legalwise, they have allocated just over R100k for costs. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH - I HAVE NOW ASKED LEGALWISE TO JUST MAKE ME AN OFFER TO GO AWAY. I have also requested the details of the Oumbudsman that manages their industry a year ago..... They are still ignoring me.

LEGALWISE - **** ROYALE
1. Had Legalwise for many years. 2. Put in claim against builder who ran away between R 100k-R 150k 3. After a year - Legalwise lost all certified copies of proof documents handed to them. 4. They wanted copies to proceed - gave copy of certified file to them. 5. After a year - Legalwise lost file again. 6. 4 years later, while i was deployed overseas, they requested copies of file again.... I requested my wife to drop off copies with them.... they said copier not working and asked for originals, said will make copies and return originals... 7. After 6 months, when i returned and queried status of claim.... 8. Legalwise lost file for 3rd time with all originals.... 9. I brought in the 2nd contractor at my cost to provide Legalwise with new statements...... done. 10. now 10 years later Legalwise got a new lawyer to handle claim as their previous lawyer had closed practice and emigrated after he billed them for 1000's of rands and did nothing. 11. In past 6 months, their new lawyer has billed them for R7.5K and now wants to get another evaluator to evaluate cost of completing the building which is going to take another year or 2. I am still left with NOTHING because LEGALWISE IS MANAGED BY IDIOTS. I NOW WANT TO SUBMIT A NEW CLAIM AGAINST LEGALWISE TO SUE LEGALWISE. THEY SAY, THE POLICY DOES NOT ALLOW. NEVER TAKE OUT A POLICY WITH LEGALWISE.....THEY ARE A ****. I prefer they return my installments paid to them over the years or pay for my claim themselves and let me walk away. NEVER TAKE OUT A POLICY WITH LEGALWISE.....THEY ARE A ****.

RAIN ARTIFICIALLY INCREASE ACTIVE SIM CARDS TO MISLEAD.
Why is Rain Internet artificially increasing its active SIM CARD base with no service. Rain has an advert they are currently running. FREE UPGRADE TO RAIN ONE. What customers do not realise is that Rain is using their existing customer base by making this offer to increase their number of active sim cards with no intention of ever activating these cards, WHY ? Are they trying to artificially mislead their shareholders or influence their share price. I took up Rains offer 2 months ago . The new SIM CARD came within the promised time. The so called activation took placer as promised. But the offered 2G free data per month never happened. I made 1 call a week to their customer service centre and got a promise that they will call me back soon as they look into the issue . Would your believe it. 5 calls in 5 weeks and 5 promises from 5 different people that they will call back. The Rain call never came. So i think, that they are trying to actually mislead their shareholders by artificially increasing their customer base of active sim cards.... What a bunch of ******...

OVHD is a ****.
What a ****. Well this is SA and what should we expect. Never waster your money buying one of these decoders. Trying to activate it is a nightmare. Yesterday was waiting 18 min and today is another 7. And the whatsapp chat they claim to have is never read or responded to. I send message yesterday. Got 2 ticks but still not read. If you thought Eskom and loadahedding is bad.... Add OVHD to that list.
