Settled Account

I paid up my Truworths Account on the 4th of August 2023, yet it hasn't been updated with credit bureaus. This has been affecting my credit profile negatively and Truworths does not care, as no one is willing to help me.

Online shopping

Order 0152304656, I had placed an online shopping order which I thought it will be much convenient for me especially this time where we are experiencing high COVID-19 infections. My order was place two weeks & I had fully understood the delays to large amount of orders they receive everyday. I'm very patient in nature what disappointed me is that my order is delivered 1 by 1 and I had about 10 items ordered. Most disappointing is that when I received my last order to my surprise one of my items is is not what I had ordered and that really turned me off , that after such a long time I then receive wrong order. Lastly kindly next time make sure before the order is dispatched that it's collected into 1 box 📦 not this its really annoying signing courier everyday. Unhappy Client Carol Kubheka

Truworths customer service

This is not the first time, they have only 2 cashier's we waited for about 60 minutes just to pay an account the manager is even called for authorization she dragged her feet. It's like we are there to annoy her, I don't even understand why the security at the door has to open our bags as if we stole thats low for a store like truworths while Mr price treats its customers like gold.

Account up-to date but still receiving calls

I am so annoyed with Truworths calling after settling a mere R230 on the 25th of May 2021 and even paid R10 extra. This morning I missed a call from (011)5604875 which I traced and found out that it is definitely Truworths. I FIND THIS ACTION VERY IRRESPONSIBLE AND DISTURBING. MY PHONE IS FOR IMPORTANT CALLS NOT THIS KIND OF CALLS.
I DEMAND A WRITTEN APOLOGY FROM TRUWORTHS, FAILING WHICH, I AM GOING TO TAKE THIS TO THE MEDIA AND CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT.

Account up-to date but still receiving calls

I have brought my account up to date on the 26th May 2021 and have even paid extra with R10 but still receiving phone calls (011)5604875 from Truworths. I find this very disturbing. I want a written apology pertaining to this, failing which I am going to take this further up.

I WILL NOT FURTHER TOLERATE THIS KIND OF IRRESPONSIBLE ACTION OF PHONE CALLS THAT ARE INTERRUPTING IMPORTANT CALLS ON MY PHONE.

I just want you to stop sending me multiple messages on every sale, special etc. I receive between 4 and 6 messages per day. There is no opt out function as stipulated in POPIA. I have tried blocking the messages, but each message comes from a different number. I am considering closing my account just to stop the harassments

Appalling service

I just want to express my utter disgust in the appalling service received at Truworths Westgate Mall ( Jhb) from cashier, Palesa Mono & store manager, Farieda Schalkwyk. They refused to exchange my item, after having made my second trip to the store.

I went to the store early March and wanted to exchange the item. I had misplaced the slip and they blatantly refused and I was sent away. After I repeatedly advised them that I did not want a refund and only wanted an exchange and that even a gift voucher would suffice.

I returned to the store today, asking them to reprint the receipt, but they showed no interest or whatsoever. Farieda just informed me that 30 days had passed, which is against their returns policy and that was it! Despite the fact that this was my second attempt to exchange the item and discounting the fact, that it was my second trip to the store! There was no concerted effort to assist... not even any sincere display of acceptable customer service.

I bought the shoes as a gift for my spouse but it does not fit. So please explain to me what I need to do with these shoes now? As it is not suitable and does not fit... should I keep the white elephant as an ornament??!! This is laughable!

This is totally unacceptable!

I have been a loyal Truworths client for more than 20 years but this experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Telesales constant harassment

Good day,

I have been a supportive customer to Truworths for many years, I have made payments on time but paid short the previous month so this month (March) i had to pay R250.00.
I have tried to keep my account lower than usual as my husband is on 50% of his salary and I have to assist him financially which is putting little strain on me.
The entire month of February I was constantly harassed by Truworths telesales despite me confirming payment will be made by the 26th of March.
Telesales constantly calls me, I keep asking them to put on their system that i have already been called 2, 3, 4 times that day.
The stress that this has caused me on top of the stress I have already has driven me to the point that I would like to inform their CEO Michael Mark as i can't take it anymore.
Just this morning they called me twice and the second lady laughed when I told her how upsetting this was for me.

I am a loyal customer of many retail clothing stores not just yours and I never get harassed like I do by Truworths, it's has been unbearable.
It is not worth my health having to deal with Truworths and I WILL close my account first thing end of this month, it's unfortunate as I buy all the members of my family items in the store but I just can't anymore.

Your constant verbal abuse when calling me has made my stress level worse and I will not tolerate this anymore.
As I sit her my anxiety for their number coming up is so bad I have to medicate and i have paid them already.
If I never paid and I had a bad history of paying i would understand but I don't and this is just unacceptable.

Poor service in terms of exchange

This is the second time I went to the store,and received the same treatment from the same manager Gugu ",I understand that 30 days has passed for me to return ,Gugu "manager " told me she can't help ,I went outside took the number from my slip ,ND called the customer service,nor did I find help from them they told me they can't authorise that on the phone,bear in mind I called with my own airtime , I didn't want a refund ,but exchange from them.

So I wonder,can they loose a customer just because of not allowing to exchange,,,, finally they agreed to exchange for me but one item that I bought with a stain they refuse to exchange ND said I should take it back,I'm very angry ,very angry,,,,I'm stack with Denim Jean that is small,,,I close my account there ND there because of the treatment I got Everytime i want to exchange ,,,"they rather lose a customer than exchange an garment with a proof of purchase just because of 30 days rule....I'm very angry worse being at the store more than an hour, poor service indeed,

ONLINE ORDER

I MADE AN ONLINE PURCHASE AT TRUWORTHS ON THE 26/10/2020. ON THE 27/10/2020 I CALLED TO CONFIRM IF MY ORDER WILL BE DELIVERED BY FRIDAY AND THE AGENT TOLD ME I SHOULD CALL BACK THE NEXT DAY AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ASK THE COURIER TO DELIVER BY FRIDAY. I DID CALL BACK THE 28/10/2020 JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THEY STILL BUSY LOCATING THE ITEM. I THEN SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR NAMED ROBIN WHO TOLD ME HE WILL TRY AND LOCATE THE ITEM. ROBIN HOWEVER GOT BACK TO ME YESTERDAY 29/10/2020 JUST FOR HIM TO TELL ME THAT THE ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK EVERYWHERE AND THAT HIS SORRY.

TO ME SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT BECAUSE FIRSTLY IT IS FALSE ADVERTISING HAVING AN ITEM ONLINE WHICH IS OUT OF STOCK. SECONDLY IT IS MY CONSUMER RIGHT TO GET WHAT I SEE, AND THEREFORE I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS MANAGER WHICH HE SAID SHE WILL GET BACK TO BUT STILL DIDN'T.

I AM HIGHLY UPSET AND ANGERED BY TRUWORTHS FOR BEING SUCH A HUGE COMPANY AND NOT HAVING SYSTEMS IN PLACE THAT CAN AVOID THESE KINDS OF THINGS.

I HONESTLY DO FEEL THAT I NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS MISHAP BECAUSE WHAT I ORDERED WAS IN MY PRICE RANGE AND NOW ROBIN TELL'S ME THATS THERES NOTHING ELSE SIMILAR TO THAT IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE.

I NEED TRUWORTHS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FALSE ADVERTISING.

Wrongfully handed over

I'm very much furious with truworths and their service. I'm contacted by them everyday that um in arrears which is not true. They say im 2 months behind nd its impossible. Due to lockdown i paid my account via ext as recommended by them, during the months of April and May. Haven't been able to buy clothes due to the store telling me i can't and its coz their not updating their system. Been to stores 4times to directly send emails showing that i should be up to date but till today no one is doing their job. Your agents are rude they don't even comprehend first..They just jump at you. BAD BAD BAD service. I'm closing my account

Account

Goeie dag. Ek is Andrea en is baie teleurgesteld in Truworths rekening afdeling. Ek het my rekening in April 2020 klaar betaal en skoon gemaak dmv EFT. My rekening is nogsteeds agterstalling. Die geld is nog noit aan my rekening vereffen nie. Ek kry elke dag oproepe van skuld maar het dit alreeds betaal. Geld le nou net in truworths se rekening maar word nie teen my rekening vereffen nie. Besoek aan tak en eposse gestuur van my POP maar geen hulp. My credit record word sleg benadeel nadat ek getrou my rekening betaal het. Gedurende lockdown kon ek nie kontant betaal soos altyd nie maar het besluit om EFT te doen en nou sit ek met hierdie gemors. Baie teleurgesteld en dis nog altyd nie uitgesorteer nie. Kontak asb vir my [email protected]. Ek het al my bewyse van betaling.

Keep on getting messages to pay from the head office

Hi, I have a account at Truworths during lockdown I got the message to pay ASAP and I did transfer the using my banking app. On the first of May shops were opened and I had to go and the remaining balance and I get there they said I did not pay anything during lockdown.

They said they need a bank statement that shows that I did a payment and yes I did provide it and I talked to the manager. They did call the Head office however they said they will update the system. During the same week I got the same SMS (please pay as u are in arrears to avoid legal actions) I went back to the same shop I asked for the manager and they was a different manager I have to explain my complaint again the lady said they need a bank statement again I went to do the new bank statement and gave it to the consultant as the manager was busy at that time.

Today it the 1st of June 2020 I have received the new same SMS I will go and pay the remaining R314 with the new interest. However I need legal actions to be taken.

Keep on getting messages to pay from the head office
