Cash Crusaders Poor service delivery

A month ago I bought a 25kg twin tub Kelvinator washing machine at Cash Crusaders Silverton On the 13th November 2023 I went to Cash Crusaders Silverton too lay a complaint about the spinner is not working properly and that the clothes are soaking wet after spinning. The manager informs me they will send a technician out to my house. On the same day the manager contacted me and said the technician can’t come out because he do not have transport and that I must bring the washing machine to the shop. I’m staying 1,6km from the shop. I told her I don’t have money too hire a bakkie to bring the machine. She said she can’t help me and that I must bring the machine.

In April i went again nd i was told the very same story, in May 2023 i went again and still there was no solution. I ended up sending a complaint to their customer service department i was replied and told to go to the stors they will assist me i went but still got the same story in june and i was told that the machine was written off by the insurance company so i should be patient. On july 2023 i sent another email to their customers service they replied with a call telling me that cash crusaders said they paid me for my ice cream machine and it was all lies. I told their customer service department to investigate the issue they replied with a case number saying they opened a case with the store manager but still now its nearly been a year with my unresolved matter and ive lost the whole of this year without making an income but their company is well operating and my machine costs R16000 and they only borrowed me R1500.

I just let it be, on Saturday 30/9/2023 after not receiving any feedback I went back to the store and ask about the kettle only than the sales person fetches the kettle, which to me was so unprofessional as I was not contacted, having the kettle over the weekend the kettle boils water than the next it doesn't I tried it on Sunday but no luck, it will boil water and than it doesn't. Monday morning taking the kettle back the sales lady who issist me confirm the problem but still says that they going to see through the day and than send it back for repairs and only than hear from head office if they should replace it...

Cash Crusaders Greed, exploit and inhumane

On the 17th Of August 2023 had an emergency and had to rush my late mother in law to hospital and required money. We then pawned my sons playstation 4 (against his knowledge) with 2 controllers. The lady behind the counter hesitated to take it and mentioned that she could only give me 1600 as it was broken and I had to go for it. We were off and to cut a long story short, mother in law passed away on the 29th Aug. With my sister in law only having passed away 2 months earlier, we had pur hands full with everything in terms of arangements and then had to travel to NC. Upon remembering about the pawn I tried to contact them and did my best with limited network where we were but to no avail. I thought then they would perhaps call or understand my situation when producing the death cert and id but although they know me on a professional level as I do some IT jobs for them from time to time, they blatantly told me that it has been sold and that the funeral and reason were non of their business.

Desired outcome: They told me theres no way i could get it back the new client would not. I asked for the persons contacts so i could plead my case but they refused. They have sold it fpr 4800 after lying to me and saying its broken...

Cash Crusaders Cellphone buyback complaint

Good day Cash Crusaders,

25th September 2023

Time : 13.30 Approximately

Branch : Cash Crusaders promenade mall Mitchell's Plain.

Today my complaint is regarding staff members and items on collections process and the attitudes and disrespect staff has with customers.

1. When collecting an item the seal/bubble wrap that was originally placed onto the phones box was opened upon collection.

2. The phone was switched on outside my presence.

3. Staff members had a major problem/attitude attending to me and allowed other customers to chip in whiles attending to me.

4.The phones original condition is not as to what I have left it with cash Crusaders promenade this is a huge concern.

5. Whiles I was waiting on them to bring the phone from the store room, they did not call me rather than unboxing the phone and go through the phone when I reached the counter they two staff members on shift , one guy and female African ethnicity both looked at me and laughed as if I was a joke after letting me wait for over 30mins. They then said oh sorry we didn't know it's your phone.

6. They had no right opening it and go through the phone , this explains why I have lost a brand new laptop previously at this store as customers items are being tampered with.

7. The staff members on duty at the buy shop today was pathetic the lady also threatened me and my kids along with a African guy who wasn't working for thr company whom she spoke to at the time whiles ignoring me this did not seem work or customer related more of a personal nature. This very same guy also threatened me saying I'm being rude which I wasn't being rude the more I'm telling her my husband would come Into to store with my I'd the more she kept on telling me about the I'd and that she refuses to give the phone to me I then said fine if you don't wna give my phone then refund me my money.

I would really appreciate it that someone calls me or make contact with me urgently as I feel this is not going to be the first or the last time that customers will be treated this way

Regards

Desired outcome: I would appreciate it that my phone be fixed the screen has lots of scratchers on and that their apologies to me in person happens along with vouchers or anything that would make up for the unhappiness caused by this store .

Cash Crusaders Unprofessional sales employee

I called in at Cash Crusader klerksdorp and asked for information on how it works and so fourth, the manager answered and shared their WhatsApp number in order for me to have a better understanding of what they do, I did as I was instructed and communicated with an Employee called Tommy, he was okay and as I asked more questions as I went along he got agitated and he dismissed me like I'm a child, he is very rude and unprofessional. Even when I tried to communicate with him nicely. I work with people and I know when I go to work I leave my personal issues at the door and never mistreat anyone. Please be aware of this young man.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology from Tommy himself for being so rude.

Cash Crusaders X2 gold chains and a personalize pendant

Good day

I placed x2 gold chains and a pendant in bay back at Cash Crusaders N1 city

I received a sms that my items will expire in 48 hrs on the 12th September

On the 13 September I went to the store and I was told their system os offline

On the 14th I was told the same thing

I then waited for the sms with the payment link to make payment online as I usually do and I never received that link sms

Today I asked my husband John to rush quickly to N1 city to pay the extensions and they informed me that my items had lapsed.

Today marks only the 3rd day of items expiry date and the reason why I am late is because I was unable to make payment at the store due to offline systems and I never received the link sms

The store now wants me to buy back thw items for over 5k of which I don't have.

I understand that I am late by 3 days but it is partially due to the store.

I was at the store twice and I also wiated for the link.

If this was not in the way of me making the payment on time I would have and now my items is lost.

Seeing that the store had complications both at the N1 branch and online. I feel like yous could have been more understanding and more lenient towards me and my items

Those x2 Chains and pendant are engraved with my late fathers particulars and its the only memories of him I have.

I had nothing else to pawn at the time and I had to place it in buy back coz I didn't have an income at the time.

Please please extend my x2 chains and pendant

This I ask of cash crusaders please

My ID number is [protected]

Name Edwina Burt

Contact [protected]

Please I am only 3 days late please

Yous stipulate in your contract that I am able to make payment online and yet I never received this months link.

It also said that the my items can remain in the storeroom for another 3 days

Desired outcome: I must buy my items at store price for over R5000

Cash Crusaders Faulty speaker, incompetent repair service, bad after service

I bought a DIXON BASF-10F 2X10inch LED Partybox 6 months ago. The speaker was hardly used, speaker just refused to switch on. The only issue was the power not coming on,After returning the item to store I explained the concern, just to find after first repair the volume and microphone controls was damaged by company who did the repairs. Item was send back again for repairs and came back even worse, volume and microphone controls not working.

Strange enough the staff at store claimed they tested the item which I think they did'nt do a proper job or lack the necessary knowledge.

Desired outcome: Please refund immediatly.

Cash Crusaders Faulty cellphone

I bought a cellphone on 12th of August 2023 at the George branch. On the 16th of August I reported a black spot at the bottom of the screen at the Mosselbay branch. They told me I must take the phone back where I bought it. I did so on the 21st of August and they said they have to take the fone and send it away. The manager was supposed to call me and never did. I asked for a loan fone since I did not even have the fone for two weeks but nothing. I went to the branch every week since then to resolve my problem, but nobody wants to assist me properly. R8000 gone.

Desired outcome: All I wanted was a loan phone while my phone went in for repairs because I do everything from my phone for work or at least a face to face with the manager.

Cash Crusaders Smart phone, doogee s97 pro

In September 2022 I bought a Doogee S97 pro rugged smartphone with a 1 year warrant and in April 2023 the phone stopped working, my understanding was the charge port was a problem so on the 27 of April I took it to the Cash Crusaders, Vincent Branch where I bought it. They took the phone to take it to the technicians but came back saying I must pay R2000 to fix because the problem was the battery and it is not covered. I fail to understand the logic of the warranty and I also did not see that in their warranty. Can we please get to the bottom of that because I think there was foul play in their part.

Desired outcome: I want them to fix my phone without any charges from my side as it under warranty
