Mr Sarel Allers ****med me of R3000

This man Sarel Allers- owner of Sarel’s driving school has de*****ed me of R3000. He did not show up for multiple lessons that I had booked for, on one occasion he said he had two damaged wheels from hitting potholes the night before and couldn’t find a place open to replace his tyres and on another occasion he didn’t show up and I got a voice note hours later saying that he had been locked up for road rage but no charges had been laid against him. He has been promising my money back to me for 10 months now. I always have to be the first to reach out to him to find out what is happening with my refund. He gets aggressive when being confronted with the fact that he owes me money. I offered that he payed me back in instalments and he has not made one single effort despite the fact that I reach out to him on a monthly basis. He posted on Facebook that he has R30 000 cash for a new car but tells me he has no money to pay me back right now and will pay me “when he can”. He has held on to my money for over a year now and is ignoring my messages asking for my money back even though he is still posting specials on his driving lessons. Do not pay this man any money upfront to his FNB account SJJ ALLERS 62515244979. I saw another review on here where he ****med a woman out of money and when I confronted him with it he came with a bunch of excuses as to why the 1 bad review was up. I now have to take Mr Allers to small claims court to get my money back. I will be reporting this to the ombudsman and any relevant authorities as well. I have been nothing but accommodating and patient and I am now being ignored. This is a disgusting way to conduct business and I do not recommend going through this man for your driving lessons (I have never even met this person face to face yet he is withholding my money from me). Go with a more reputable driving school or you might have to waste time going to court to get your money back from him. I am now at my absolute wits end and I will be taking all of my communications with Mr Sarel Allers to court to force him to give me my money back which was due 10 months ago.
