No idea of what customer service is.

I have app**** online for a Lewis account and 3 months credit as you advertised after sending me several messages that I qualify for a 3 months loan with Lewis.

I then received a message informing me that a consultant will phone me, no one phoned me so I went to your Parys Branch in the Freestate this morning.

When I arrived a friendly door greater took me to the applications department, another lady assisted me with the application, she then said the system is giving her a error message that she don't understand and she called the manager. The manager then said that the consultant must fax all my documentation to a department on ********** and she informed me that I need to wait.

I waited 90 minutes, after waiting I went back to the consultant and asked her if there is any feedback, she then informed me that they cant give me a loan because I am a first customer, I then asked her what does that mean and she said that she don't know and head office also do not know, I then asked her for the head office number so that I can call head office myself to find out why the account is getting declined and she show me a number on the leaflet of ***.

I then contacted the number and Head office said that it is the customer service department and I must ask the switchboard to put me to the correct department, I then phoned again and the switchboard lady transferred me to the same department as with my call, the lady who answered the phone don't even understand English, I had to explain my situation 3 times and after that she still asked me "What is this about?" I mean really, do you use people with s**** sets or where do you get them from?

Reviewer Update
Head office and the Area manager contacted me, the loans are just for current Lewis customers, it needs to be specified on your sms's that you are sending to customers and please also train your staff on ground level to tell customers that. Thank you for the quick response, I will however ensure that i rather go to someone else from the start.
