Greedy Finance Corporation aka Motor Finance Corporation

Your email dated 06 April 2020 refers. Herewith my response to your ******** response:

t's appalling to get such an ******** answer from such a reliable bank. You're obviously not well informed about the markets you serve. I would suggest you educate yourselves about the ins and outs of the taxi industry in South Africa.

Let me break down the facts for you:

1) There are only 10% of the taxis operating currently - kindly verify this with SANTACO Head Office. This means at MOST my taxi is only operating 10% of the time. Since the lockdown started this taxi has only been on the road twice and even then it operated at a loss. The taxi only generated enough money for half a tank of fuel and did not cover the driver's wages for the day.

Let me make it easier for you to understand: If a supermarket owner was told to operate 10% of the time they normally operate and only serve a fraction of their market, this would result in huge losses. You don't need a PhD to figure this out.

2) Long distance routes have been shutdown (please listen to Minister Mbalula's address again). Taxis are only able to transport essential service workers to the nearest town - this is called the "local route". In the taxi industry long distance routes are the most lucrative and are regarded as cash ***s of the business. You're free to verify this with any Taxi Association as you see fit.

The local route for Mzamba Taxi Association consists of two supermarkets Boxer, Spar and one garage. Google Port Edward town to verify this. All other businesses are on lockdown as they are not regarded as essential services. Also bear in mind that not all employees at the above supermarkets stay in the village the taxi operates from.

3) Taxis are only operating from 5-9 am and again from 5-8 pm. This again results in further losses as anyone wishing to go to town during the day cannot be transported as this would contravene the COVID-19 regulations.

Furthermore I called ***and spoke to your consultant who advised my request will not be a problem, MFC will amend the contract and confirm the new figures via email. Kindly listen to call recording dated 03 April 2020 12:52 pm. I called from ***.

I've never missed an instalment or had a similar request before. As such, I see no reason for MFC to decline my request except for greed, exploitation of your consumers and a "profits-before-people" attitude.

Please supply feedback as discussed with your consultant on the 3rd of April at 12:52 pm failing which I am going to go public with the contents of my email as well as to your ******** response to my request.
