Dear Takealot Customer Support,I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding serious billing irregularities and poor handling of my order.On 20/12/2025, Takealot successfully debited my account for an order placed on your platform. Despite this, on 21/12/2025, Takealot claimed that payment had not been received and subsequently cancelled the order. I immediately provided my bank statement as proof that payment had, in fact, been made.To my shock, after cancelling the order, Takealot debited my account again on 22/12/2025, resulting in two separate debits for the same transaction, while no goods were supp****.I have received no response from the collection centre, nor any communication regarding my refund, despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter.This situation constitutes unacceptable service and raises serious concerns regarding billing practices. I hereby request the following:
  1. Immediate confirmation of both debits received
  2. A full refund of all amounts debited
  3. A written explanation for why my account was charged twice
  4. Confirmation of when the refund will reflect in my bank account
Should this matter not be resolved urgently, I will have no option but to escalate it to my bank and the relevant consumer protection authorities.I expect a prompt response within 48 hours.Yours faithfully,
MHassen
