Waiting for refund since 28 of May-Payfast notification

Vuma advertised they were in our area by way of pamphlets and door to door word of mouth. I signed up, paid my R378. Waited about 2 weeks for installation. Day of installation was told 'oh you do not have the required infrastructure do the connection. So disappointed!! Numerous emails back and forth and no assitance. Eventually I cancel and request a refund. On the 28th receive a Payfast email to say the refund is made and it will be paid in a few days. Today is the 6th June, where is my refund!!!! Emails back and forth and nothing. Please just give me my money back

Good day, thank you for calling me, only once. I was unable to answer as I was at my desk. You may call me between 1pm - 1:30, alternatively after 3:30. I am extremely dissappointed in your company. Firstly as stated previously I ap**** for Fibre with Vuma as you guys advertised our area had Fibre,checked coverage map etc confirmed. On the day of installation I was told 'we have no infrastructure'.... How was or am I meant to know what cables and pipes are underground??? That was on the 18th May. I emailed the Home-Connect team immediately (***) to inform her of the situation, was told it would be escalated and I would be contacted. Still not satisfied I cancelled the next day, was told my 'refund request' would be escalated to ths powers that be and I would be contacted. Lots of emails back amd forth and lots of calls too.... On the 28th May I received an email from Payfast notifying me of a refund and it would take a few days to reflect. Today is the 7 June and nothing reflecting in my account. My bank statement will confirm this.

I am dissappointed because myself and my 3 sons were so excited to have the Fibre installed and that never happened. Now to still wait for a R378, yes it may seem like change for some but it is alot for me. I am a single parent raising 3 sons on her own and I need my money.

I have emailed *** as well and no help at all.

My application number was HG*** and Home-connect customer # LA0012

I just want this resolved.

Also, don't advertise Fibre available and then you don't have infrastructure in place to service the entire area

Hope the next time I hear from you it will be good news
