Lack of accountability

This is with a very heavy heart and great dissatisfation I have to write this email I registered my daugter at Richfiled at first I was very impress with the service we received. First off they arranged a bursay for my daughter and she was approved, great.

In her first year she switched from in contact to online and they messed it up big time and that led to her wasting 6 months of study that she will obviously never get back. This was a huge discouragement for my dauhter.I then went through the statement and discovered that I was quoted R39710 and was invoiced R10 000 more then what was quoted and even after emails and questioning this I received no explanation. Now we aere trying to register for the new year and has been trying to get e response from the institution for 2 months without success. The person that has been dealing with my daughters case is Zamakhanya and she is of no help. She aranged the busary, she messed up my daughters registration and now we are being referred to her for the new registration and noone is of help. This is such a mess and I am at my wittsend. At this point even whattsapp communication as well as emails go unaswered

Dear Sarie P,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We am genuinely sorry for the frustration and distress this experience has caused you and your daughter.
Please be assured that your concerns have been taken very seriously. We are currently investigating this matter including the registration transition from contact to online learning, the bursary administration, the fee quotation and invoicing discrepancy, and the breakdown in communication you have described.
The Head of Distance Learning will contact you directly as a matter of urgency to engage with you, clarify the issues raised, and ensure that your daughter’s registration for the new academic year is attended to without further delay. We will also review the handling of this case internally, as the lack of responsiveness you have experienced does not reflect our service standards.
Our priority is to resolve this matter promptly, transparently and fairly, and to restore your confidence in Richfield. 
Thank you  for your patience while we work to put this right.
Warm regards,
Richfield: A Learning Experience of a Lifetime.
 Your Future. EnRICHed.
