Not abiding to Consumer Goods Ombudsman ruling
A complaint was lodged to the Consumer Goods and Service Ombudsman against Brent and Homexterior ( Ref No: ***) for equipment (1.1 kw pool pump and 3 bag sand filter) which had been paid for but not received (0.75 kw pool pump and 2 bag filter installed). Conversations with the staff at the Ombudsman's office (all calls are recorded) revealed that they had difficulty getting hold of Brent and that he was not responding to their e-mails and thereby delaying the process of the resolution of this matter.<br> <br> A ruling was made on 25 November 2014 on this matter. To date, Brent had not initiated any attempt to settle the matter by honouring the ruling of the Ombudsman. I sent him e-mails on 28 January 2015, 16 February 2015 and a recorded telephone conversation on 16 Feb 2015 on which he promised to pay by the end of the day. To date still no payment and no commitment from Brent to honour the ombudsman ruling as a result of his oversight in the completion of our pool.<br> <br> Reponses from Brent on Hello Peter indicate that if he is right he defends it via contract, if wrong he attacks the person directly. Maybe this forum is enough motivation for him to honour commitments he makes.
Good morning Mr George,
We are very reluctant to agree to the ruling of the Ombudsman and for the record feel its very unfair.
You have a perfectly build swimming pool with every thing working perfectly and you shamelessly blacken our very good name for a small discrepancy of a pump size that is working perfectly for your size of pool. But Mr George we will settle your unfair R 500 claim just to stop your bad comments. I am very proud of the swimming pool we build for you and for any one reading this please contact me for a site visit so i can brag with this beautiful swimming pool. I wish i could say that i am happy to resolve this matter but i am not but i suppose it takes all sorts to make up this world.
Regards Brent and teams.
