I have a complaint against a company in Cape Town, I don't
I have a complaint against a company in Cape Town, I don't know its name. In 2015 I bought a machine from them, they claimed the machine heals all sickness. I paid R 600+ through debit orders. At the time they told me the machine is eligible for service after a year. During that time 8 months later the machine was not working properly, when I tried to contact them I could not trace them but I continued paying until 2019 when I lost my job. All this happens whilst I am not getting update or monthly statements to show how much I am owing. When I calculated all monies paid to them it is more than R40 000. Now they are harassing me claiming that I still owe them R8000. How is this fair. Can you help me please. … read more

Sorry for keeping you, had a client. from Upington and I am
Sorry for keeping you, had a client. My name is***** from Upington and I am currently in the process of taking over a shop that failed due to poor management, but the owner of the building wants to lease it to me at a rate of 5% of my monthly turnover. The size of the shop is 213m square, so it is rather small, but it is possible to generate a monthly turnover of R400 000 plus. If the shop does as good as I am planning it would and we hit an amount of R800 000 turnover per month, then my rent must be R40 000 per month!! That's a bit ridiculous. Must I accept this way of paying rent or is there another way we can negotiate? What I mean is, is it lawful for them to force me to pay rent calculated in the manner or do I have the right to decline it and rather pat an amount per square meter with an escalation factor on a year to year basis? … read more

It worked great. I had the facts and I presented them to my ex-landlord and she folded and returned my deposit. The 50 bucks I spent with you solved my problem.
