Is it true

The Health Professions Council of South Africa<br> (HPCSA) has warned prospective students that the<br> Oxbridge Academy in Stellenbosch in the Western<br> Cape is not an accredited institution.<br> This comes after the council's Professional Board<br> for Dental Therapy and Oral Hygiene inspected the<br> academy and its curriculum. It says students who<br> continue to register and study at the institution will<br> not be accredited by the Council.<br> HPCSA's Lize Nel says, \The Professional Board for<br> Dental Therapy and Oral Hygiene of the Health<br> Professions Council of South Africa warns the<br> public about the academy in Stellenbosch after the<br> board recently conducted an impromptu inspection<br> at the academy and discovered that the Diploma in<br> Dental Practice Assisting actually falls under the<br> Scope of the Professions of Dental Assistants.""";;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;325485;1213;14;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/05/14 9:21;1134;4;15/05/13 16:21;15/05/13 14:27;returned goods;order number ***;online department;***;i returned a pair of jeans online. completed a form, and i got an instruction to print it out and send it with the jeans when the courier company arrived. which i did. that was over a month ago. until today, noone knows where those jeans are. i called the call center, they tell me i mst give them the waybill number or the number on the form i printed. wasnt the point of printing this form and send it with the jeans for them to be able to credit me? now i dont have these numbers they want, and suddenly they cant trace it at the warehouse, doesnt the house allocate these returns accordingly? so now i lost jeans/R139 because of a not so effective online return procedure.. this is really disapointing.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;851104;820117;6;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/05/18 8:16;1134;NULL;15/05/15 15:03;15/05/15 13:22;NON-COMPLIACE;8,81E+12;Anna-Marie Uren;***;Hello Peter<br> <br> My name is Refiloe Koloko and I had myself put under debt review because I had not been coping financially but since I have been working at my current employment I have made sure that I am settling my debts. certain creditors requested that if I wanted to make monthly payment arrangements it would only be after I had provided them the 17W form that I was supposed to get from my debt collection agents. I had completed the cancelation form on the 06 May 2015 and was told by my agent Anna-Marie that they would do it on the Friday last week, when I checked with her on Tuesday they still had not done it and today the 15 May 2015 when I tried to call and enquire as to whether I could have the 17W form as we spoke this week she had promised she would forward to Me but she has not. my concern is that they might deduct from my account and say that I requested the cancelation late and another thing is that if I do not get that document my creditors are prejudiced and I also will be prejudiced if I had to pay double amounts at a later stage .<br> <br> kindly assist in this regard.<br> <br> yours faithfully<br> <br> Refiloe Koloko<br> <br> ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;851966;965;9;2;0;0;0;0;2;15/05/19 10:42;1134;NULL;15/05/18 17:32;15/05/18 15:48;Extremely Poor service on handling my claim;***;BETHANY FRIEDRICHES, SHANE BUNNIG,Gert van Aswegen [Email Removed] ;***;I submitted a claim for fire damage on my car, 4 weeks have passed with no progress. Whenever I call, they send me from pillar to post whilst I have no car to carry out my daily duties (such an inconvenience). To this day an assessor has never been sent to assess my car. I have taken a conscious decision to pay for the damages myself since I am getting no joy from this supplier. Words cannot begin to describe my utter disappointment, as to why such a huge organization like Eskom is contracted to this supplier baffles me. From today I will start canvasing for its removal and an alternative be sought. I know i am not the only one with this type of complaint.

I have experienced extremely poor service from Benedict and Stanton. I requested a port beginning of April 2015 and it took a month for this port to go through. After more than a month and a lot of struggle it eventually did, but is still not correct! I am supposed to be on an unlimited package but are receiving sms's that I am on prepaid. No feedback received or assistance and I have to phone them continuously - and still don't receive feedback after being promised I would. Both of the consultants are still passing the buck to each other and no one is taking responsibility. Even the manager Colin Swartz is not returning my calls.<br> <br> I am speechless and this is unacceptable as I wanted to move my entire companies lines over to Autopage.<br> Apparently Autopage's business is doing fantastic and doesn't need new business.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;854185;33;1;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/05/25 9:41;1134;NULL;15/05/24 16:38;15/05/24 14:47; Capital Computer Bureau Pty is Debiting My Accoun;FNB Platinum Account;FNB;***;This Company has been debiting my account in the past year, and they make sure that i do not get any notifications since they are taking 99.99 every month and 7.50 since FNB only send out notifications if the transaction is more that R100.00.<br> <br> Please stop this from happening.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;305943;893260;16;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/06/02 8:55;1134;NULL;15/05/26 15:57;15/05/26 14:01;Incorrect Billing on a Top Up Contract;N***;;***;Please tell me how it is possible for a top up contract to fluctuate, every month you are only supposed to debit a fixed amount of 449 but since March you have been taking 494 - this is very unfair and I cannot get through to your call centre.

The next Sunday same thing happened & I asked her to unsuspended my cell phone contract which she did & it happened again the 3rd Sunday so now I am getting irritated by this. I also saw my bill which is normally +/- R780 is now R6100 how on earth... I went to a branch & they could not help me, so I had to go to the Bloemfontein main branch (white building as they call it) & a lady pulled my account & said but I used R4878.45 - PACKET SWITCHED DATA CALLS this is on an I-pad, I cannot make any calls if that is even what it is for & the contract was suspended for 3 of the 4 weeks this month & is still suspended as they say that I reached my limit, which I don't agree with anyway. I barely use the I pad as I cannot use it while at work! They also said my buyout value is R15500 but it expires Jan 2016 & its 7 months x R500 = R3500.

Was on a Smart M. Upgraded to Red Advantage effective 1 June. I realized my data had run out. This prompted me to check the billing on the app.<br> <br> The app still showed I was on a Smart M. I phoned 155 ON 16/06 and spoke to Pricilla. Ref S3-88S26-69JL1 & A6-WXG4-WY1IR. Who advised me that I was billed for Red Advantage but had not received the allocations (data, minutes or sms). I had purchased once off bundles in the interim to avoid out of bundle charges. Which were not allocated to me. This was since corrected. I am now sitting with a bill of over R3500 due to out of bundle charges. But I have not been allocated the 2gig data for June. <br> <br> I went to the Gateway Customer Care on 28/06. Spoke to Istihaq. Very helpful. But unable to sort it out due to the accounts person refusing to assist. Totally disgusted at the attitude. Apparently her reason is that last months usage cannot be credited. I am not disputing last month. I am disputing June. Yet she refuses to look into it. I want the 2 gigs as per my contract allocated and the out of bundle charges reversed. Bought 500mb bundle on 26/06 billed for it. But again not allocated.

Also did not receive any letter or statement to notify me that im in \arrears\"" with account. Thank goodness my contract ended i have never had this bad customer service. And will never take out any contract from mtn again. My credit report and scoring has been affected in a bad way because of mtn. Wont recommend mtn to anyone. If my home loan declines because of mtn showing arrears i will not leave it here. """

Hello PinkyMoloi,

Oxbridge Academy - a private Further Education and Training (FET) college registered by the Department of Higher Education and Training - has been blasted by the Health Professions Council of South Africa, inferring that the academy is a **** institution that lacks accreditation. Such an inference is factually inaccurate.
Like most colleges in South Africa, Oxbridge Academy in Stellenbosch offers accredited qualifications and non-accredited courses. We are clear in our descriptions as to the purpose and status of each course, as well as the accreditations it has. These are communicated openly on our website and in the registration material students receive. This material does not in any way mislead students, nor does it claim to offer professional qualifications for which the college is not accredited.
Oxbridge Academy supports the view that non-accredited courses should not be confused or compared with accredited learning, as they are seldom directed at achieving similar objectives. Please contact our Student Advisors on *** for updated information about these courses. Regards Lenette Daniel
