Worst Company to get support from

I have been struggling with Alexander Forbes since November 2025 to get a tax directive out of them. It has been phone calls back and forth, emails back and forth. All for nothing. In meantime I got hit by a R5000.00 SARS penalty for late submission, but still Alexander Forbes cannot do a simple chance on their system. Now they tell me I have to pay them R700 to chance the directive. For WHAT, after you just inflicted R5000 SARS penalty on me, now I have to pay you as well. When I told them SARS penalized me for their delay, all they said "NOT OUR PROBLEM". Maybe a lawsuit will make it your problem since you costing me time for spending almost days at SARS offices, money since I have to take time of work and pay SARS a penalty now. This is the worst company to do business with and I would not recommend doing business as individuals with them.

Reviewer Update
Still no proper responds on needed documentation, all they do is get an AI to post "sorry responses" then give a short phone call about how they will escalate the matter internally. You have all the transcripts, all the call recordings, all the emails send and received, how difficult can it be to provide the correct documentation? Every day you delay the process, you costing me more money to pay to SARS. I need that SARS letter to resolve may now almost 4 months delayed tax submission. I want the form ASAP and a letter to SARS stating you caused the delay in providing the correct documents from day one. And stop with this "apologetic copy & paste responses", it does not help.
