VFS - Poor support and dont abide y DHA rules
<p>I feel the need to make this very simple should a VFS employee come across this.</p> <p>1. I submitted PRP application online on 09.10.2016</p> <p>2. I paid VFS the prescibed fee of R1350 on 09.10.2016</p> <p>3. There were no appointment slots for more than 6 months on their calendar, yet documentation is only valid for 6 months. Strange that they make you pay and cant get to you before your documents expire, the documents they tell you to get before completing application.</p> <p>4. Contacted them multiple times and they never get back to you.</p> <p>5. VFS employee took my user name and password as they did not believe me and they then changed my location *******ly.</p> <p>6. This caused me to book for appointment in JHB instead of where I registered PE.</p> <p>7. I could not reschedule before 48 hours as there were no appointments in PE for more than 6 months.</p> <p>8. 1 wek later and no feedback, this forced me to cancel appointment and take a hit in my payment. ********** I think, maybe a ploy as they feel we have no rights.</p> <p>9. They never emailed me proof of payment, I have requested this via email and still nothing.</p> <p>10. So they takemy money, force me to cancel appointment, and now do not want to refund me without proof of payment they were meant to email me but never did. I could not print proof of payment due to printer not working.</p> <p>11. How do I get my full refund with no admin fee as this is clearly VFS fault, I think this might be a ploy to ***** peoples hard earned money.</p> <p>12. I doubt they wil respond to this.</p> <p>13. If anyone knows how I can persue this matter please assist with any details.</p>

The agent who I have been in contact with is Willie.
Please note he has been of no help what so ever.
I demand proof of payment from VFS for the amount of R1350, this is part of the Consumer Protection Act, Section 26 (2) & (3).
I have already reported your failure to provided this documentation to the National COnsumer Council of South Africa.
I also demand a Full refund and not only part refund as the failure to provide the service was that of VFS. I paid VFS R1350, after payment you are obligated to provide the service as this is a legal binding agreement. You failed to do this forcing me to cancel application which I did not want to cancel.
I have also reported this to the NCC and provided proof of your ********** dealings.
I visited your PE branch and the manager refused to see myself, the person I liased with was Shimone Grootboom who was not helpful and provided no assistance what so ever. Shimone also acknowledged the error was the fault of VFS as you were imported something to do with Police Clearance, something you failed to notify myself about and I assume thousands of others as well.
