stupid, *********** and ********** company

I had two cars with them in May 2018 i cancel one car as i had traded it in, they advised they will charge me for June as cancellation has to be 30 days which i understood. In July they still debited me for the car i had already cancelled and served a notice i called them and asked them to reverse or refund me the amount that they debited incorrectly as it was not due to them, their consultant advised me they will credit me for the following month which i denied and specifically wanted refund, after long argument eventually she promised a refund will be done. 2 weeks later i called following up on a refund that i haven't received, i spoke to a guy by the name of Jacob who had no idea what he was doing who told me they cant refund me as they credit it to august despite my instruction of a refund he couldn't refer me to their terms and condition that they cant refund but credit

I then asked to cancel the contract because i was not happy with their service, i was transferred to a lady who advised me that i want to cancel then i have to settle the account. she told me the value of the contract is R1900 and cancellation feed is R1512, which is is in contravention of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). I then informed her that I AM NO LONGER CANCELLING THE CONTRACT but i want her to send me what she told me in that my contract is R1900 but if i were to cancel then i will pay R1500 as i intend on taking the matter to consumer goods and services ombudsman because they are in contravention of Regulation 5 (3) of The CPA which provides that suppliers cannot “charge a consumer a charge that would have the effect of negating the consumer’s right to cancel a fixed term consumer agreement as afforded to the consumer by the Act”, simply meaning that the cancellation charge cannot be exorbitant or render cancellation of the contract more of a financial burden than a long-term relief from a contract.

instead of sending the information i requested she sent me an email confirming my cancellation request, i responded to say that i never said i want to cancel but still i'm getting emails again to say i must make a decision. i don't understand how many times i must say im not canceling, i dont understand how this company functions with so many *********** consultants

im forced to be in a contract i dont want because their cancellation fees is ridiculous, i might as well carry on with the contract because the amount im charged is the same as the full term contract. i will still escalate this matter to the ombudsman to make a ruling on the cancellation fee or settlement amount as this company calls it

Dear tshifhiwa

We acknowledge your post and noted the content thereof

We refer to your telephone conversation with Noluthand Mabaso from our retention department and confirm that your issues have been addressed

Our records reflect that a credit has been processed on your Mixtelematics account, however there are no refunds that are due to you as there is still has an existing vehicle with with Mixtelematics.

The existing vehicle has already been billed for August therefore your debit order for August will not be collected for the full subs but will be collected for only a portion of the subs due to the credit that has been requested

A detailed email correspondence with all calculations has been forwarded to your email address.

Kindly respond to the email should you require further assistance

Thank you

Kind Regards

Reviewer Update
please note that the email didn't address any of my concerns raised all your so called consultant still insist on addressing the fact that the credit has been processed but that's not what im asking: 1. you incorrectly debited the car that was long cancelled, that debit should not be made. so i wanted a REFUND NOT CREDIT ON THE EXISTING CAR!!!!!! i want the terms and condition that states if you take more money than what you are entitled to, you don't refund you credit. 2. nobody addressed the issue of cancellation fee of R1500 whereas the value of the contract is R1900 noluthando didn't address ANYTHING she sent me amount credited in September which was not my complaint and which is also contrary to what Jacob told me he said the credit will be for August I DO NOT WANT CREDIT I WANTED REFUND??????????????
