I applied for a course with damlein about 4months ago. After I paid for the course in full they informed me that the course has been discontinued. I immediately canceled the course. till this day I still did not get my refund. I have emailed and called them numerous of times but with no luck. I tried to email these people from Damelin but non of them can help.

I registered with damelin and before my studies commenced I canceled and received a case number of cancelation.

To my surprise I have a huge damelin bill a year later and I see it has affected my credit score.

I've called them countless times but still my name is not cleared.

I paid for a course in 2018 but it never started so I requested for my refund and still no response. This is ridiculous so I feel that politicians and department of education need to intervene in what is happening at this institution. Its hard earned money that you are robbing from us.

Refund Pending from Damelin

For almost a year now we have been waiting for a refund. It has been excuse after excuse and lately your people are no longer responding to our emails and not answering our call. One would wonder if you ate our money. I wouldn't be surprised if you did. Give us our money back! I have no option to take this legal.

I have asked for cancellation of my online studies 2 months ago on multiple occasions but no luck jumping from one person to the next all just trying to convince me to continue studying.

They keep sending emails for payment, ignoring my request. Today woke up to find that they have deducted money from my account, it is so difficult to find a way around this, since even my bank cannot block the debit order always telling me that I have to resolve it with damelin.

So now in need of legal help to resolve this. The only option I know at this point is to post my discontent and the conversations I had with them on all social media platforms. It may not help me but surely will help the next oblivious student trying to register

Seems like Damelin doesn't want to refund our money. They owe me over R19k since 2019! I call naomi every week she answers my calls except for Fridays, apparently she's never at work every Friday or she's just avoiding me. If I don't get my money by the end of November 2021 (this month) I'm taking legal action and anyone who wants to join me may contact me on [protected].

I would love to join you...i am sick and tired of all the promises they keep tellkng me knowing very well that they are taking us for fools. I applymied for my refund of R14000 in March 2019 and till today i have not received my refund. They sent me an email in May 2021 after numerous attempts of contacting them. Statjng that my schedule payment date is the 8th of October 2021. I patiently waited, came the 8 th the money was not in. I keep on contacting them every week via telephone and email just yo have paper trail as I am also considering taking legal actions againts Damelin. Gjis is really day light robbery, its very funny how they do things you know, when you did not make a payment they are to quick to call and send emails and sms about the fees. But now they gave our moneys and they are taking for ever to reimburse us why so...I believe nobody knows..
Damelin College is pathetic with customer care and the service they promised that they are ethical and law abiding is not true. Damelin is frauding us of our moneys cause what could be the reason that there's a lot of refunds outstanding and they are taking their time to solve...i want my money. If it means that by first week of December i dont get it. I will sue the institution for a lot of things...
If only we could come together as one and see if we take them to court won't they process the payments faster

Good day, I was wondering if you have had any joy yet. I too have been trying to get a refund since May, they keep giving me dates and nothing happens. Naomi was useless and now I've been dealing with a Cleavon. The COO Michael Thurley and a Wenzel Naidoo who ever he is have been copied in all my mails and neither have bothered to respond. I'm at my wits end

Damelin seem to be a college that doesn't pay parents back or refund, from 2019 they owe me 8500 and they never refunded, naomi gave 3 different dates but nothing was refunded I spoke with Naidoo he told me their not dealing with small money, I got so hurt when they were calling me for fee to be paid their forcing .I am looking forward to take legal procedures, it wasn't my son's fault that they had no that particular course.

My son’s refund was approved in April 2021 for R26,000 and we have still not received the refund- every time I call it’s the same story from the refund officer - “the refund is with finance and we will let you know when we hear back from them”. It’s been 14 months…

We canceled my daughter's course after finding out how incompetent the institution is. From June 2022 until now I am still awaiting the refund. No one knows anything and is quick to take the money.

Did you end up getting assistance? It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve been trying to get Damelin to refund Fundi their full amount! Imagine having to take out a student loan of more than 30K & not getting even communication? My credit score is messed up because they wont communicate or refund Fundi their full amount of 33K as I’m currently unemployed I keep getting sent from pillar to post being told that the matter is priority however no refund is paid & I no longer want the percentage offered paid back I want them to pay Fundi their money back
