POSSIBLE THE POOREST DISTANCE LEARNING ESTABLISHMENT IN SA

This company has a complete and utter disregard for Consumer Rights in South Africa.

Registered with the establishment & paid a R 2 500 deposit.

Paid another R 1 685.86 for fees. From thereon paid R 733.45 via debit order monthly.

Study material was received and upon discovering the poor quality of the material and not receiving any feedback from the company regarding (despite numerous requests) opted to cancel the studies. Submitted the cancellation request and was told to await further instruction. A month later (with numerous follow ups) I again contacted Damelin in order to cancel the studies. Was assured that further correspondence will be sent. After a month and a half received an email from Damelin informing that the "Cancellation Committee" has reviewed the request and found that no refund will be given on the account. Proof of payments & Deposit and Proof of Banking was sent to the department as requested. Again no feedback from Damelin. Cancelled my Debit order which ran for 7 months. Again sent a follow up to Damelin. No Response received. 2 Weeks ago i app**** for Finance through my Bank and was informed that Damelin had blacklisted me for outstanding installments on my Study account.

This has got to be one of the worst study institutions in South Africa and they are more eager on signing up unaware students and enforcing their NON CPA COMPLIANT cancellation procedures.

An email was sent to 4 correspondents at Damelin requesting a refund of the last 3 months debit orders (Which was post cancellation) and was not even responded to.

POTENTIAL STUDENTS STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM DAMELIN AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN
