Clientele ****med my father R580

My father was billed R580 by clientele without him agreeing to join any policy. He was mislead by Clientele agents into getting his banking details by saying that they'll offer the groceries of R3000. Then later he was asked to join a policy to which he declined as he can't afford it being a pensioner. How can he be debited R580 without agreeing to join any policy and without evaluating affordability? Please refund the R580.

Hi, my father got a call and they managed to cancel him from the policy. However, they told him they can't refund him as it's been a month. They gave him numbers to call to request for a refund and they were lost . Can I please get those numbers?

Hi,

Thank you for your response. While I appreciate the information provided regarding the Complaints Arbitrator, I must express my disappointment in the lack of resolution offered by your organization.

The situation regarding the unauthorized policy enrollment of my father is deeply concerning, and I believe it is your responsibility to address and rectify it directly. I expect transparency and accountability from your organization towards customers, and I trust that you will take appropriate action to resolve this matter promptly.

I kindly request that you revisit this issue and provide a satisfactory resolution which includes a refund without the need for further escalation. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
KM
