Howler Complaint - One of the worst services in ZA

Worst customer service you will ever experience. Officially boycotting any event that carries the Howler cardless system. You pay a non-refundable R20 for a card you can only use at that particular event (nice bank account to have after the event). Then you wait 9 months plus to get a cashout after sending numerous emails which (wait for it) they claim "they never received"...followed by "please check whether your emails were actually sent from your server"...this after i attached all my correspondence to them! (don't hold your breath if you waiting for an apology from Howler). Eventually they escalated my query to their finance department who "will process and take 7-14 days ro refund". Oh and guess what, there is no direct line to their finance department if you ever which to pick up the good old phone and follow up!! The only thing i am more disappointed about is that i can't give this company negative stars!

Dear Mel 

We have taking the time to investigate your concerns above and we have come across a communication sent to you 3 months ago requesting that you update your banking details in order for us process your late cash out refund,  seen as you missed the cash out period. 

We have not had a response from you since ,  we refer to the conversation on our chat column  yesterday and you confirming that you have updated your banking details.

We can confirm your late-cash out refund was successfully processed . Kindly allow 7 to 14 working day for the funds to reflect in your account.

Best Wishes 

The Howler Team

Reviewer Update
I must admit, i am a little bit disappointed that after all the time you have taken to 'investigate my concerns' you did not come across my correspondence yesterday with Ntombane from your chat column which i had attached all the email correspondence i have had with your team since June (post updating my details) - yip, all the correspondence you claiming never to have received. Starting to think maybe the chat i had with Ntombane was also not delivered!
