Still waiting for deposit

Hi

I rented a car from Thrifty in Lanseria on the 9th of October 2017. I returned the car on the 27th of October. I am to this day still waiting for my deposit to be returned. I have made several calls to Thrifty Lanseria with no success. Is poke to the manager there a week ago and he promised he look into the matter and give me a call back the next day. There was no call. I am trying to get hold if him now but every 10 minutes i call Thrifty Lanseria he steps out of office...

I was initially told that the money was issued to be release by ABSA, but i also went in to a ABSA branch and they could not find nor trace the amount. Whether the issue is with ABSA or Thrifty i dont care but i think its real BS that i have to go through all this effort to get my money back. Who is going to pay for the unsettled CC? Me i guess.

Still no response from anyone. The bank (ABSA) also cant see anything from their side. So im assuming like all your other clients you are bull****ting them. I will take this matter further if i dont receive my money back ASAP. I have tried to phone Chris Munisamy from Thrifty Lanseria a few times but his phone is always off. The one reason Thrifty gave as to why the money is not showing was because my CC expired... That is true but my new CC number is exactly the same as the card the transaction was done on the day i took the car. I trust this matter will be resolved swiftly. Reben

Dear Valued Customer

Please kindly be advised that once the cancellation request is sent to the bank it is the banks responsibility to release the funds, as the funds were frozen in your account and not charged. Please kindly go to a ABSA branch to do a reconciliation of your bank account from 09/10/2017 to date.
