My geyser leaked and needed to be replaced. I contacted insurance, and Brackenfell Plumbing was assigned. Everything went well with the installation on a Friday. But today I discovered that my ceiling is brown and water is dripping through a light fixture. I checked the geyser - one of the new pipes they insisted they must install is leaking! Brand-new and causing more damage than my old geyser didn't even. They don't answer their phones on a Saturday, and there's no emergency number. I must now pay out of pocket to get it fixed.
Drainmen Table View branch did an excellent job with a big problem I had with my sewage system. A MASSIVE thank you to Richard, Andrew and Daniel who really went the extra mile every time they came out, regardless of the weather. I also received good customer service from their admin team. You certainly get what you pay for.
Another compliment, this time for Yolande who phoned me on 17 July, and explained what was happening to my case. She was really helpful and professional. She said she would send an email for me to rate the experience. Instead I received an email saying the case is being investigated (I thought it's closed because TymeBank can't do more from their side). I've also received text messages from Friday onwards that the case is still getting attention, and saying my account was blocked because of a ***** investigation, just to be unblocked again. So I'm confused about the status of the case and why it's still ongoing. But I appreciate Yolande's phone call on Thursday to explain everything.
Big thank you to Tumelo who assisted me in a very professional and efficient manner after I'd written a complaint on Hello Peter - all on a Sunday morning. It's great that such good customer service still exists.
I have received several sms messages between 7:51 and 8.20 on Sunday morning, 13 July, about how TymeBank is trying to reach me about case CB-194397. My phone didn't ring once! I now received an sms saying the case has been resolved because I am Uncontactable (early on a Sunday morning!!! Which isn't even TymeBank's hours!) How can you say I'm uncontactable when my phone shows no one has tried to phone me? What a sneaky way to do "resolve" issues - pretending to contact people outside of business hours.
Octotel has great customer service and replaced my broken ONT on a weekend, which I appreciate very much.
I appreciate how efficient and pleasant SARS was to sort out an issue. Though it's never enjoyable to pay taxes, I'm glad that the process is very organised and the people I dealt with were very professional, patient and friendly.
So, I decided to reactivate my Showmax account on Friday evening, to watch some movies and series for the next few months. But I couldn't proceed, because the OTP was never sent to me. Contacted Support: They suggested I use a different number.... But I only have one cellphone number! And that's the extent of their assistance. Can't believe a company doesn't have an alternative to activate an account, old or new. I haven't even proceeded to putting in my banking details, where such security would make sense! Well, you've lost a customer! I can't sit and wait the whole evening hoping an OTP arrives so that I can reactivate an account, or sign up from scratch. (And no, the OTP wasn't in Spam or blocked, and I do have cellphone coverage and a good connection.)
The City of Ekurhuleni's Customer Support and the Siyakhokha Team are excellent with quick feedback and sorting out several account problems, even over a long weekend.
Thank you to Marvellus Chauke for sorting out the delay with my claim. I appreciate it. The 5 stars is definitely not for ABSA itself though - I don't know why one has to complain first before something is done. This is after following up a few times already. The insurance department used to be a lot more efficient.
