Factual process
Following me removed review, I only place the facts on which my review is based. I am not slandering the company I am highlighting the facts based on my personal experience to reiterate to other consumers what processes are! Facts 1. I was transparent in my rental application 2. I had to pay R380 application fees although my application was rejected 3. I submitted supporting documents with eloboration in unclear facts to ensure all are known 4. I was positive we would get the property as in I quote the agents words - "please pay the R380 fee as I do not want you to loose the property" 5. I was not the main applicant, although my information was solely used to reject the application. 6. The application was declined and I was told my current rent provision where I stay is insufficient and the value I had put for my current municipal expenses would not suffice. These are the facts on which my review are based. I was told in the agents words - if you have a loan you can not qualify because you then have financial strain. So where should people stay then?

Piramid schemes making money
We recently app**** for a place to rent. With great excitement we ensured we were.100% transparent on our financial status. Everything was completed, we were told to pay R380,00 to ensure we do not loose the property. We got letters from all the companies we needed to ensure our application is air tight. We disclosed every last detail. Then we were told sorry we could not get the property. We had to submit a load of documents and pay a R380 contract fees. If every family applying for a rental property pays this fee and everything is electronically how much money is made. How convenient is this. Easy money. If you get all the info from experience you should not create false hope and tell potential tenants pay the fee not.to loose the property then you loose it anyways!!!

Peace of ****
Many years ago my grand father had a funeral policy with Clientele Life. When he passed, Clientele refused to make the payout and said his medical records showed he had Hypertension which he did not disclose. I requested the proof which they refused to provide. I reported them to the Ombudsman and it died a still and quite death. Their add said no medical examination needes. He paid them every single month just for them to come back with such utter nonsens. Years later I suffer from Hypertension - and if I do not have medication I feel horrible. So I sat and thought to myself how did he survive without medication and how did he not drink anything for it throught his life. I went with him to every doctors appointment and never did they mention such. They kept all his installments and did not provide sufficient evidence. Have never recommended them and never will. They take families for a ride to buy in and then leave them without any compensation. If I had the knowledge I have today I would not have stoppend fighting them. He paid for his policy so we could have the "peace of mind" they offered only for me to start off with credit at a young age to bury him. Such sweet wotds...

SALES AGENT ****S
I have been asked if I would like to become an agent for Lewis Group to source customers. So I got a customer and took him to store. His credit was approved, his delivery was made and all is done EXCEPT the commission. The consultant at Lewis Stores Meyerton have kept postponing the matter. It is pending since 7 October 2025. Exactly 9 days later. I spoke to the consultant on 15/10 who informed me I can come today, 16/10. I messaged her this morning and informed her I am coming this afternoon as she said come today to collect my commission. When I arrived at the Store, I was told oh sorry its not yet approved??!!!! So I was informed come today, the WHOLE DAY PASSED and nothing was done to resolve the matter. The consultant even told me she has no idea how to resolve the issue. It feels like the BRANCH HAS NO INTEGRITY because what they say and what they do are worlds apart. They could not call me and tell me oh sorry we are not trainer properly, no I had to incur the expenses to go in only to return empty handed. When you want to buy from Lewis they help you very quick when there is anything after that you can forget about the service. There is no service so there is probably nothing to complain about. I feel like LEWIS is not phased about this matter.

Milk vs Car Spares - Moo moo
I recently bought parts for a service from AHK Vanderbijlpark. I am a woman not a man who knows cars, so I asked for a service kit on a Volvo S40. I was sold a very expensive pump of R760.00 which I did not need for a minor service which I did tell the Counter Salesman. I asked my brother to return the pump for me based on the background. He was at AHK Vanderbijlpark today and was told the slip clearly states no refund. But SELLING ME SOMETHING YOU KNOW I DONT NEED YO MAKE MONEY OFF ME just does not sit well with me. I even complained in store about the price but the salesman insisted I would need it and he had no generics only the original. I can not afford to buy parts which will collect dust because someone wants to make a buck off me sorry. Utterly disappointed that this happens to us as single woman. I feel "******" even "milked" for my hard earned money.

Storyline flaws
We recently signed a contract for a property with Letting Unlimited. Everything was arranged and today a few days before our move, the agent let us know we can no longer rent the property because the owner did not approve it? 3 weeks into the notice period. We were offered a substandard place which is situated in a complex where the ethnic preferrences are were made clear - placing us at risk. Credit check were done and all was approved. If we had gone through the process and accepted the contract, signed and agreed. The owner is not of the intention to occupy the premises personally! This is clear evidence of breach of contract - leaving us stranded 3 days before the move.

When the date is we will come
I am a customer of Lewis Stores. More than a month ago I reported my tv which has screenburn to them for collection. I have insurance for which I have been paying since opening the account. She keeps telling me the driver will collect it. In the interim the damage is increasing. I am honestly disappointed with the level of service. I have been waiting since reporting it. My life is "ON HOLD" waiting tirelessly for Lewis Stores driver. Maybe he is in Portugal by now from.being lost fetching the tv??!!!!!!!
