Clientele Legal refused to help my husband

I'm really disappointed with Clientele legal. The way they present their business is nothing compared to their real life service. My husband (Ayanda Njapha)join Clientele legal in 2018 with the hope to get legal representation whenever he needed one, I mean that is what they advertise on TV. Little did he know they only say that for advertising, they don't help people when they need them.

He made a claim last year (2019) November after he was unfairly dismissed at his workplace. His claim number was P***. The consultant her name was Kgomotso said they can't help because he was guilty. I mean the nerve!!! are they not the ones that are suppose help you when you are unfairly dismissed. How can she say that without even going to arbitration with and hearing my husband side of the story, like a true lawyer should. As it is my husband doesn't have a job now, no money, the case is still at CCMA. We now need to pay for lawyers from our own pocket yet they were deducting money from my husband account for 2 years with no fail. Guys free advice don't waste your money, Clientele legal will not come to your rescue when you need them but they will be happy to take your money.

“Dear Gugu M,
 
We thank you for escalating your concerns to us. 
 
Unfortunately, we have not had the opportunity to address the concerns raised herein with your husband; being the main member of the policy, as he has been unreachable upon our various attempts to contact him telephonically.
 
We understand your frustration however as discussed with your husband previously, the claim was assessed and unfortunately fell outside of the ambit of the legal policy. Regrettable, we could not provide you with full legal cover in the form of legal representation and thus provided limited assistance only.
 
We further confirm that the policy was cancelled in June 2020 as per your husband's request. 
 
We would however like to apologise for your dissatisfaction with regards to your experience with us. At Clientele Legal, we are committed to ensuring a positive experience. Please contact us directly should you have any queries in future.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
C. Fick
Complaints Case Manager

Again the statement written here as a response is false. You haven’t tried to call my husband not even once. Please stop misleading people to thinking you’re a good company. No one from your company has called me or my husband. These are our cell numbers - *** and ***. No call have been made to this number.

Secondly how can you say unfair dismissal falls outside your scope of work. Again you are misleading people when they take up policies with you . Please tell me what scope of work or legal matters you fall under. Because these things are not explained when taking up the policies. Really now stop lying!!! No one called us, and yes the policy was cancelled because your consultant didn’t bother to do their work, so how can we continue paying for something that doesn’t help you. Clientele legal are a lies, finish and klaar

What I want to know is at what point did they realize that my husband’s case was not part of your scope. Kgomotso asked for his disciplinary case from work and after reading the charges, she told him he was guilty and there is nothing they can do. Why would she waste our time by asking for the charges if she new that unfair dismal was not part of your scope.

I think it’s just fair to say Clientele legal is a ***** , as it is now you aren’t doing investigations properly. Clientele legal never wants to do the hard wig representing their clients. Obviously he was going to cancel after the service he recieve, and where was he suppose to get the money to continue paying you guys!!!
