Truworths cell phone department is a **** more especially at Carnival Mall. All their phones are not working.

On the 8th November 2022 I bought a phone at Truworths Carnival, 3 days later I realized that the listening speaker was not working, I then took it back to truworths for them to check what was the problem. They checked it and discovered that the speaker was not working but they refused to take it for repairs because I didn't bring the phone's box with me. I went back several times because I couldn't find the box because we were moving and I misplaced it, still they refused to take the phone. Luckily as I was busy unpacking my things 3-4 months later I found the box but unfortunately my phone fell and the screen had broken but I took the whole phone package to truworths for them to fix the speaker. They took the phone for repairs but unfortunately they charged me R3900 to fix the whole phone, I then told them that I only wanted them to fix the speaker not the broken screen so I didn't accept their quote. Then they wanted me to pay the rejection fee of R270 before they can bring back my phone. I refused to pay it because I didn't understand why I should pay that money while they failed to assist me. Truworths repairs then said I will not get it back until I've payed that R270 otherwise they are going to sell it after 90 days. Up until now I still don't have my phone back. Please help I feel it's really unfair for me to pay for the phone that I don't have and it's still with them. I went there several times to check for it but they refused to give it back. Now they have Blacklisted me because I stopped paying for the phone they took and never brought it back to me. Now it's 2024 I still don't have my phone. Thuli from Carnival Mall said it's not their problem anymore, I must go to their phone repair company myself abayingini. I told her that I didn't take or buy my phone from those people but from Truworths and truworths is the one took my phone there not me. I have no business with those people hence I brought it to truworths since I bought it from them.

Please help me truworths cell phone department is ****ming people. They are selling broken phones and expects us to just accept noma yini. I called and sent several emails to the head office but they couldn't assist me too.

Hi hellopeter
Can you please assist me, truworths doesn't responded to my queries. I don't know whatbto do now? It's not the first mtime I bought a cell phone from them, I first bought a cell phone for my husband two months down the line the battery died and raised. I took it back to them and they took it for repairs and it never came back. 3 months later after all the fights and struggles, they then decided to give him another phone. Thereafter the very new phone they gave to my husband died the speaker and everytime when using it you have to turn on a loudspeaker or use the headphones.

It is clear that Truworths is selling **** cell phones from Samsung. Now they took my phone and they don't want to return it. It means they new that I wasn't going to get iback hence they insisted that I must bring it back with the charger and the box so that it will be easy for them to sell it . I'm still sitting without a phone yet I had to pay for it's account and they're threatening to blacklist me if I don't pay them. Their customer service is really bad and they don't care about their customers.

PLEASE HELP TRUWORTHS IS ****MING ME.

Good day, please advise what do u need to do so that Truworths can give me back my phone. I'm supposed to be paying for a phone that I don't have? This is really not fair. I went back to Carnival city Truworths and told me ukuthi abayingeni but they're the one's who took my phone to their cellphone repair company. Please help.... I'm stresses and I also thinknits not fair to pay for a phone that they took back and never gave it back to me.

I don't know if truworths only rep**** just to lie to me because they have not gave me back my phone or give a resolution for on this matter. Guy's becareful not to phones from truworths, banamanga and they never treat their customers fairly and with due diligence and integrity. They're expecting me to pay for the phone that they took and never returned it after they took it for Repairs. In March they promised to deal with this matter but up until today I haven't received any response from them.
