Unauthorised & Incorrect Debit – Immediate Refund Required

omeChoice’s handling of my account has been completely unacceptable.

For days, I received emails and SMSs stating that debit orders failed due to “insufficient funds.” This is false. My account consistently had R10,000–R11,000 available. There was never a shortage of funds.

Despite this, today HomeChoice deducted R1.70 from my account instead of the agreed monthly amount of approximately R500. This deduction makes no sense, was not authorised in this manner, and clearly reflects a serious system or mandate failure on their side.

This situation has caused financial and emotional distress, as these funds were allocated for an important personal commitment. Customers should not suffer because of HomeChoice’s internal errors.

I am demanding: • An immediate refund of the incorrect debit • A written explanation of how this error occurred • Confirmation that no further incorrect or unauthorised deductions will take place

Until this is resolved, I consider this matter mishandled and unprofessional. HomeChoice cannot be trusted to manage debit orders responsibly.

Based on my personal experience, I strongly advise people to stay away from HomeChoice.

They claimed my debit orders failed due to “insufficient funds” when my account had more than enough money. Then, without explanation or consent, they deducted a random amount (R1.70) instead of the agreed monthly debit. That is not normal, transparent, or acceptable business practice.

When a company:

  • Gives false reasons for failed debits
  • Makes incorrect or unexplained deductions
  • Fails to communicate or take accountability
It starts to feel like a ****, not a legitimate retailer. Customers’ money should never be handled this carelessly. This has caused financial and emotional stress, and I no longer trust this company. I am still waiting for a refund and proper explanation. ⚠️ Warning to others: Think very carefully before dealing with HomeChoice. There are far safer and more transparent alternatives.
