At this stage there was no mentioning of any claims against the aforementioned deposit.</p> <p>Jarrod (gave me a printout of the R8000) ,carlo and various other staff members whom i spoke to days after that confirmed the same. thursday i was notified that my full deposit of R8000 will be paid in the friday, friday i phoned to be informed that the deposit of R7000 should reflect by the end of that day. Saterday carlo notified me that an email WAS SENT BY NOBESUTHU FRIDAY LATE AFTERNOON FOR DEPOSIT TO BE PAID, ONCE AGAIN FOR R7000.</p> <p>Today i am notified that a deduction of 1200 approximately will be deducted for damages, which is apparently for tools or whatever it is for .Plus an additional refueling charges of R 1000.</p> <p>i was also notified by Carlo that we wont be charging you for fuel or anything else whilst phoning daily to inquire about my deposit of R8000.WHAT CHANGED? WHY AM I RECEIVING DIFFERENT INFORMATION FROM DIFFERENT STAFF MEMBERS WORKING FOR THE SAME COMPANY??!!!</p> <p>Im completely fed up with this car hire services and its *********** staff members.</p> <p>one cannot blame such incompetency on the fact that one of their senior managers resigned (this was a reason given by one staff member )</p> <p>I WAS NOTIFIED CONTINUOUSLY THAT MY FULL DEPOSIT OF R8000 WILL BE TRANSFERRED AND I DEMAND THAT THIS AMOUNT DUE TO ME BE RETURNED!.</p> <p>I received an email last week were the staff member confirmed that my full amount of R8000 will be refunded to my account. he sent the below image confirming that no amount is to be deducted,</p> <p>Inline image 1</p> <p>Cost reflects as zero as per my discussion with this staff member, days prior to this i also received a printout confirming the same.</p> <p><br />the services received from the staff members of a highly respected company is poorly executed! and blaming one manager for resigning is pathetic!</p> <p>I further request that my full deposit be refunded immediately and FOR A FULL INVESTIGATION TO BE CONDUCTED INTO THE CONDUCT OF THESE STAFF MEMBERS PERTAINING TO MY ACCOUNT!</p> <p>RIGHTS AS PER THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT HAS BEEN VIOLATED , i previously requested for call recordings to be drawn for HR to listen to the various information staff members has given me and also to point out the incompetency of tempest staff members.</p> <p>also refer my email to the highest level in your company which is responsible for hearing consumer complaints.</p> <p>i previously raised similar concerns but nothing came of it.</p> <p>I demand that someone in higher authority hear my request to deal with such incompetency as displayed by aforementioned staff member.</p> <p>Yours in business</p>
