I'm done with Ackermans

Hi, I have an account with Ackermans and sharing it with my mother. I am the one paying the monthly installments from my bank account the Tenacity Inc account. On the 28th of April I paid a huge amount of money into the Tenacity Inc account intended to pay it to my child school's account which starts with T as well. I called their accounts number to notify them of this mistake and asked for a refund, they said I must email proof of payment, PDF ID copy, a letter explain the reason for a refund and 3 months bank statements and as soon as the money reflects, they will make a refund. I did not hear from, I called them on the 2nd of May, emailed them and got a response saying "we have received your query and it will be sent to the relevant department". I have been calling and emailing them with no positive feedback until today they told me that they cannot disclose anything to me regarding this account because I am not the primary account holder. My mother is the one who is supposed to ask for the refund, she must send her 3 months bank statement so that they can make a refund to her account. All this time they did not tell me this only today when I insisted on speaking to the manager. Like what the hell!!! I have been paying this account for years and they never said but you are not the primary account holder but when they need to refund me there is a problem. I am closing this account as soon as they give me my money back.

Hi Nkagiseng,

We're really sorry for the frustration caused by us not providing the information sooner. We're glad your query is finally in the process getting resolved. 

We can confirm that the correct process is being followed by your mother doing the request.

We hope we don't lose your business due to this and would love to see you in store again.

Best regards,

To the Ackermans team, my mother just came back from your branch at Ndofaya Mall and she was on the phone with the same people I've spoken to. Guess what they told her, "the refund will take up to 5 - 7 days" because we only received the documents yesterday the 9th May 2023 which is the day I was told that the primary card holder must be the one to ask the refund after I had phoned and emailed again and again since the 28th of April 2023. Whose fault is that they didn't tell me on the 28th that the primary account holder should be the one to ask for a refund? Yours not mine but I have to wait another 7 days for me to get my money which will go into my mother's account not mine. My child's matric registration fee due date was the 28th of April 2023, the school has given until grace and I have been extending it. My child will not write her matric exams at the end of the year because Ackermans will not give back my money and I have been a loyal customer, paid my installments on time and this is what I get.

What do you have to say?
