Told by a Jet manager that I smell.

This past week I went to JetMart the one at Ellof street when a lady by the name Monti (Manager),told me that I smell armpits.

I was returning a dress's back because the fit didn't look good on me,so this lady told me she can only take one dress back but as for the other one she can't because it smells.

I've tried both dresses on at the same time,why should the other one smell for her and the other dress wouldn't??

Edcon needs to teach their staff members about the policy printed behind the slip. Because the slip is written that "if a customer is not satisfied with they item they can gladly bring it back".
Now please tellme what should I do with this dress because it's like I've wasted my money on buying an item that I'll never wear.

I'm Done shopping Jet!

X blocking on account

I went to Edcon twice. My account was handed over because i was unemployed and couldnt pay. I am permanently employed now since february 2016 by the South African Police Service. There is a block on my name anx i cant get credit at any of the Edcon stores. I think it is unfair to punish me for the rest of my life. I since got credit at other retail stores. That is the reason why the "credit system" got a credit bereau.

HAND OVER

Good Day,

I am disappointed at how Edcon handled my account and now making it seem as if i am at fault.

I had an account with Edcon and I got retrenched in October 2015, it took me about 6 months to obtain paperwork and submit it to Edcon, i finally did so and i assumed that all was sorted.

Until i received a letter from an attorney i then asked the attorney to send the account back to Edcon as i want to deal directly with Edcon. I then get numerous calls from MBD staff with attitude over R 300.00 that i am owing which i didn't even know about.

My biggest problem is that i have been a loyal customer to Edcon and my account was paid on time with no hassles, during my time with Edcon i think i only missed payments for a month which i double paid the following month to keep the account up to date if you look at your records.

In September 2017 after all the unprofessional and insulting calls from MBD calling me on my cell and work landline that almost got me fired i paid the account.

Today i called for a paid up letter and was given 0860 112 2442 i spoke to Amanda, i am so DISSAPOINTED in what he told me and made it seem as if i am at fault when Edcon never once picked up the phone or sent me an sms telling me that i am owing money and yet you have a collections department.

I was told by Amanda that i am a slow payer which was not true (IF your calls are recorded please go and listen to it) and that if i had an account with Edcon before i will be prohibited from opening another account. i did mention before that Edgars account was the best and if it wasn't i would not be typing this mail asking to open another account.

Do you really want to ruin this good relationship with a good customer like me over R300.00 that i supposedly owe and i didn't know because of Edcon. The worst thing is that i am asking for a paid up letter but no one can furnish me with one yet when you want money everyone wants to call me and try to get me fired from my new job.

I am not happy with the way Edcon handled this R300.00 debt and if you do not want me to be your customer again please at least remove my name from ITC, if i am still owing you please let me know so that i can pay you monthly, also give me a paid up letter so that i can open accounts elsewhere.

I await your Prompt Response in this regards from the Management of Edcon.

REJECTION OF CLAIM ON RETRENCHMENT

Good day,
My name is U Raghubir, ID NO: 7805185156085, I was retrenched in November 2016. I was a member of the Jet Club, I went to Jet to make arrangements to pay my account and the manager requested that I submit my documents regarding a claim because I am a club member. I did so awaiting feedback of my claim. Months following I was smsed a zero statement which I used to confirmed that my claim was approved. In October I was called by EDCON requesting me to pay my account because Hollard declined my claim...reason that it was voluntary retrenchment. I submitted my tax documents to prove that I was retrenched and not voluntary retrenched. I am currently unemployed trying to make ends meet. I would appreciate it if EDCON can relook at my claim or account because I cannot afford to pay this money. ...or if possible reduce the amount.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Paying a lot of money for nothing

I bought a pair of Sissy Boy jeans in April so now it got torn; I wore it few times. I have been buying Sissy boy jeans and I have never experienced this problem or maybe it's because I have been buying them from EDCON competitors.
I'm not happy because I feel like I been robbed I have paid so much money for the cheap material or factory fault jeans.

Edgars Chatsworth centre shit service

Hi my name is kubendran gounden. Yesterday I was walking pass the edgars and was pulled in by a guy asking me to open an account with them. I was taking In gave in my details within 30mins iv received a sms sayn that the account was approved. I then left work and made my way back to the store to pick up my card the guy has said that I got to do a purchase in order to activate to card. So I headed back home checked online what i with buy and went back this morning to do a purchase. I had to stand at enquiries for about 30mins to get service finally someone assist me and asked me to go and bring in my 3 months bank statement and proof of employment wich I already did yesterday. I left the store went back to work and went back with the documents on my brake the manager was nowhere to seen.i had to stand and wait for and other 30min before someone came to assist me. They have taken my documents to a office closed to the door and left me standing while there send out someone to look for the manager. Then a guy comes through acting all cocky and says his puting a block on my account I asked why he says I need to come through with a 3 month bank statement wich he has in his hand and a 3 month pay slip. I asked what's the problem he just says you he needs that. I lost my entire day at work with this guys who gives disgusting service. I didn't ask for account In the 1st place. Stop putting people outside the store pulling customers in and waiting there time with your poor service.that is the last time I will ever visit you guy store.

Policy not received

I am paying for a funeral policy for a number of years. I have requested to get my copy of the policy for a very long time.
I have been phoning and hanging on for hour, send e-mails with no results. I do not know why these policies are not sent to you when you start paying the policy. Why is it that when they want to sell you the policy they have all the time in the world. When my family needs the policy it will be next to impossible to get it from Edgars. What more must I do to get what belongs to me?

Edcon charging me service fee - Dont agree

Why does it take so long for Edcon to resolve a problem? I am been complaining since August 2016 about this service charge which i do not accept and will not be paying. Been trying to get hold of Shereen Naidoo 15/09/16 & 16/09/16 - holding on for 20 minutes but having to put phone down as im calling from my cell. Spoke to Shereen Naidoo 29/08/2016 after speaking to different of your call centre people which to date has not bothered calling me back about the service fee. I have reported this to the CPA and i will continue making a fuss until someone actually hears me. You send me another statement with the service fee rraised again and as i said before i did not agree to this. I don't care what ERM sys that there is a signature that i accepted the quote. No one discussed this with me. i signed only once on the 29/07/2016 for my purchase of R875. So where did the second signature come from that all of a sudden appears on the system. I believe you took my signature from that purchase and happened to put it on that form. I want answers and would appreciate a return call. As soon as im finished with the statement i am going to close this account as i feel you are trying to rob from people.

The last day I went there it was January 2015 16.and they told me my date is overdue. They asked me why I came late,I told them that I was delayed buy the employee for my ui19 papers.
But they told me to go and ask for a letter or explanations to confirm why did the employer sended the papers late.
I had no success frm the employer,
So until now I haven't found my uif payment, because at labour department they say they want the proof or else they won't help me.

Can you please help me because I ran out of options.
My ID is 7701095883084.I leave in Mamelodi, Pretoria
