JDG Financial Services / JD Group Personal Information Breach

My cellphone number has been replicated across numerous JD Group clients. What this means is that I receive all sorts of calls and messages from Incredible Connection, Rochester, Hifi Corp etc. where the caller is asking to speak to someone I don't know, or when it's a message, it's addressed to a stranger. I have had my number since 1999.

I have no account with any of the entities in question and as such, have no credit facilities either.

I worked for JD Group very briefly back in about 2006 and I've purchased a handful of items over the years.

The issue, as I've mentioned above, is that I am being contacted by multiple different branches and companies in the JD Group for multiple people that I do not know.

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Apple Watch Series 3 Online Purchase

Good day, 28/09/2023 - I purchased an Apple Watch Series 3 online for amount R4,184.10 with the Incredible Connection Revolving Card - Order number: [protected] 29/09/2023 at 10:39 complain ref number [protected] - instead they chose to reimburse and have no proof of this only received a resolved SMS.

Mpho (Incredible Connection Clearwater) called to tell me that unfortunately the item purchased is not available last one was purchased the previous week Tuesday and unfortunately they will have to reimburse me back my money. He said Apple no longer manufactures this item. I asked him then why was the online sale or website not update he said there was a system issue due to inverter blowing up. I told him I am not accepting this reason at all. is there perhaps no alternative that can be replaced for this error He then said how sympathetic he is towards me but unfortunately there is nothing that can be done.

Desired outcome: I would like an alternative to this Apple watch to be sent to me as i paid for the item online it is not my fault that an error was made online by advertising it as available.

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Layby and refund delayed

I did an online layby at Russells in Dec 2022 and made my final payment on the 3rd of May 2023. I never had to send a POP and my payments always reflected on their side. I made my final payment, and heard nothing from them. Contacted their customer support and was constantly asked to send a POP, which I did. On the 16th of May, I requested a refund and was told that they still haven't received my final payment of R3000 and will only refund R9694. I sent the POP again, this time, directly from my banking app. On the 19th, they asked me to confirm whether I still required a refund and I confirmed that I did. It was only on the 31st that they informed me that they have allocated my funds and again asked me if I wanted a refund. They called me on they same day and again, I confirmed that I wanted a refund. On the 8th of June I received a notification about a scheduled delivery. I sent them an email and at this point they stopped responding to my emails. I called them and the guy I spoke to confirmed that I will be receiving my refund. I sent them a WhatsApp still on the same day and the consultant told me that the guy I was communicating with on email said that he is still trying to cancel my order. She promised that a refund request would be sent to their finance team. On the 10th, today, I received a call from a delivery guy wanting to confirm whether I am home.

Upset doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling.

Desired outcome: Please refund

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Credit application By JD group staff

Hi

I bought a headboard cash at Sleepmasters on the 19 December 2022, a credit inquiry was ran without my concern and this is affecting my score. They asked for my delivery address and signature only to run a credit check. This is against consumer rights and I’m irritated because all i did was but my items cash and waited for delivery. I meed JD group to remove this inquiry because i did not give concern of a credit check.

Desired outcome: Remove the inquiry, what the employees did was fraud. Half of the information on their so called credit form is not mine.

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Online layby with sleepmasters cancelation refund

I have submitted my request to cancel my online layby on the 6/03/2023, however I did not receive my refund, how is it so difficult to get my own money back, very slow and unsuccessful service, every time I call for an update, they tell me that they have put it through the accounts department and I must wait 4 14days, however, they don't give me any feedback as to whether my request is being processed or maybe they require any further information.

I'm very disappointed in the service I received in regards with my online purchase, it seems like it's not safe to do an online layby!

Desired outcome: I want my refund!!!!!!

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Sinotech 55inch TV screen blank

In August 2022 my TV screen went blank, I contacted the store and they eventually sent out a technician after about a week. He fixed the TV saying the back light / LED had blown. On the 5th of December 2022, I've had the same experience, the store was too laid back so I logged a call, TV was fixed and returned, same issue today. I want my money back.

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Factory fault on defy stove

Complaint reported to JDG who the stove was bought from:

I am assisting Mrs Basson as she is getting the run around from JDG / Defy.

The stove is giving issues since the day it was delivered. It is clear that this is a factory fault and to keep on sending incompetent technicians out is not solving the problem. The guy that came out on Thursday, 17/3, job card no: 1597027 did not even have tools with him to do any tests. He just assumes that the thermostat is the issue because Mrs Basson told him she tested the oven temperature with a small oven thermometer, and the temperature is wrong. Absolutely unacceptable and pathetic from a Defy technician!?

I believe you now ordered a thermostat which is unacceptable for a stove that is less than 5 months old. The stove is still under warranty, and I would like your commitment per return mail that you will replace the oven with a new oven. If you do not replace the oven I will contact your CEO, Peter Griffiths, Defy, Hello Peter as well as the Consumer Protection Council.

The CPA clearly states that the customer’s rights are:

the right to equality in the consumer market; privacy; choice; disclosure and information; fair and responsible marketing; fair and honest dealing; fair, just and reasonable terms and conditions; and fair value, good quality and safety.

In terms of treating customers fairly (TCF) the JDG service is not close to acceptable.

Awaiting your confirmation of when the oven will be replaced by close of business, 22/3.

Response received:

As discussed over the phone, kindly note that I have just contacted Defy and they have advised that the technician has ordered the parts which is the thermostat and the C-capsule for the unit. Please note that in order for us to replace the unit we have to receive a credit authorization from the supplier.

It is now over a week again from last communication received and I tried to call Defy head office on Friday and am still waiting for a call from the manager.

We would like the oven to be replaced and all cost associated with the replacement to be carried by JDG or Defy as the stove is still under warranty and it would have been the 3rd time in 5 months that a technician had to come out.

Desired outcome: Oven to be replaced with a new one as it is still under warranty and giving issue on issue

JDG Financial Services / JD Group After sales

To whom it may concern,

I purchased a laptop online on the 31st of January 2022. The unit ordered was not available and I was provided with the nearest available unit of which I am grateful.

It has been 2 weeks since I registered the laptop for warranty and as the invoice of purchase does not correspond with the unit received, due to above mentioned incident, I am receiving no answers to my warranty.

Matebogo from customer services refuses to pick up the phone and call me and keeps requesting that I send the invoice of purchase. I have sent that invoice when registering for warranty and as above mentioned, the unit received and invoice do not display the same information.

I have on numerous occasions sent the information of the unit received but for some reason no one can rectify this situation or even call me to discuss this matter.

I left numerous messages with Matebogo and the call center for her or the manager to kindly contact me over the phone but I am being outright ignored in that regard. Not even the manager is willing to take charge despite my calm, respectful and understanding demeanor with him over the phone yesterday.

I must have spent R 100 airtime thus far and am still spending nearly R 2000 at the Somerset west branch on upgrading the laptop as to not void the warranty which I do not even have.

I am shocked with this service and have spent thousands of rands already and continue to spend more thousands with incredible connection but still receive terrible service and a costly, unpleasant experience leaving me regretful of using incredible connection.

Please can someone who is willing to assist call me on [protected].

Desired outcome: I would love a response .A discount on products purchased or gift card might be a nice gesture but not compulsory

I bought a bed "Restonic Marvelous" at Russell's Krugersdorp on the 29th October 2021. On the 9th October 2021 i contacted the store and complained about the bed, that its making noice and it already looks old, even the springs are coming out, i can feel them.

Was informed that Restonic will get hold of me and they will come to collect the bed and guess what? Am still stuck with the same bed. I can see that i am not taken serious here and to make things easy for everyone i just need Russell's to take their bed back and i want my money back i will go somewhere to buy bed.

Secondly on the 26th asked for a refund on the laybye i did, i saw myself signing a refund form and also I've submitted my banking details. It has been 2weeks and i have not received any payment from Russell's. Now i want nothing to do with Russell and i want my all my money back

I have the exact same query regarding my Lennox corner lounge suite and Rochester is refusing to issue my refund! They have been holding on to half of my lounge suite since early December 2021 and to date i have heard NOTHING!

The legs are broken AGAIN on the other half in my house and the springs on the couch are makiing a noise. These same issues have been apparently fixed twice by Rochester and the couches still come back defective! Cut your losses with this store!

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Product

I bought a TV and washing machine last year at Russells Alex plaza and I was happy with them,

June this year the TV had two black line on the screen, I then went to the branch to report the issue and a guy Gcina assisted me.

I was told that I need to bring the to branch so that they get someone to fix it,

I did that and a few days later someone came to fix it, but he couldn't fix it because the TV had cockroaches inside.

I was then referred to Samsung in Rivonia when got there the guy who assessing the TV saw that there was crack at the bottom of the TV.

The guy from Samsung told he can't assist me because of the crack and also the warranty falls off as well.

They recommended that I get a new TV, as it is still new and under warranty.

I went back to the branch and no one assisted me except for the guy named (Gcina), the branch manager just didn't know what to do or say.

The issue I have now is I am still paying for TV every month and the TV is broken.

I called the customer care to lodge my complaint several times but no one got back to me with any feedback and it's been almost two months now.

The service I am getting from Russells is horrible to be honest.

Thanks.

Desired outcome: TV Replacement

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Poor warranty repairs on lounge suite

A warranty claim had been submitted for the repairs on a Grafton Everest lounge suite in 2019.

The unit was repaired and sent back to me in an extremely poor condition.

I refused to accept the unit and sent it back to the warehouse.

I received a call from a representative at JD group and Grafton Everest assuring me that unit will be fixed to my satisfaction.

The unit was received and it was still not to my standard and a Grafton Everest standard but the representive from Grafton Everest "Pregga" assurred me that should I experience any further issues they will gladly collect and attend to the areas on concern.

Prior to this ordeal it had been a good few weeks with the to and fro on this querie therefore I decided to accept the unit on the pretense that should anything go wrong the service provider will accept liabillity and attend to my concerns.

in 2020 the lounge suit began to show signs of poor workmanship in the areas that were initally my concerns. Due to the pandemic and lockdowns I could not do much but as soon as I had the chance I contacted JD Group call centre late 2020 and was told to go to my branch with the complaint as it is to do with a warranty claim

I eventually got to the branch January 2021 and was informed that they cannot assist as the unit is out of warranty. I explained to the manager at Fleet Street Bradlows the above regarding poor workmanship on a warranty claim therfore the complaint.

After calls to the call centre and visits to the branch eventually the unit was collected.

A few weeks had gone by and my wife received a call from the warehouse that they cannot repair the unit as the material is not longer available and the unit will be delivered back to our home.

The unit was then delivered to our home and refuse to accept it as its not my fault the material is not available and the workmanship was done poorly.

I contacted the call centre again and was asked to deal with the area manager in East London "Donee" on the 18 February 2021 I emailed Donee, Prior to the we were dealing telephonically.

My mail as per below:

Please see the mail attached of the warranty claim that was submitted initially

The problem we are experiencing now is the poor workmanship done on these units,

I refuse to accept the 2 seater back on Monday in the condition I sent it, it was not possible to have these units sent in last year due to the lock down.

My concern is after the units had been repaired the condition of the workmanship was extremely poor as pointed out in the attachments, The rectifications as per my concerns we done quiet speedily
And it begs me concerns that this was done as a quick fix to get the unit of the warehouses hands and the evidence of this is now the condition and the deterioration of the repair work.

I trust that you are able to assist us and anticipate your response

Email end.

Since then I been liasing with Donee on this matter. I been assured that the matter will be attended to with no joy at the end of the day.
Donee provided me with her whatsapp number where I been messaging her on and with no avail the response was extremely bleak.

Donee tried to source another unit of the same make and style but there was not stock of this unit. The other suggestion was that we recover the complete unit with a different material of which I was glad to accept but to date had received no response in this regard.

I have been following up on a regular basis and made many calls and on the days I do get a response I am told "we are waiting for the managers to make a call"

I dont understand what call there is to make when alternatives solutions have been suggested but then the progress and finilising these suggestions are never actioned.

I have been handlinf this matter with patience due to the assurance received from Donee the area manager in East London but I am been incovenience without this unit for 4month and counting.

This is the complaint ticket that Donee is dealing with BR-GE-[protected]-201 Mrs R Singh / Complaint

Mail sent on the 26 February 2021 in response the the unit been delivered without been repaired:

Good day Donee

It is with extreme concern and disappointment that I send this mail.

My wife had received a called this afternoon from JDG warehouse confirming if someone was at home as they needed to dropped of our lounge suit.

A few minutes later someone arrives at our place with the lounge suit.

As far I know and as per our telecom on Wednesday 24/02 you were waiting feedback from your head office as they were in talks with Grafton Everest regarding this complaint.

I find it totally unacceptable that this unit could be delivered without any proper action taken in rectifying this problem and to add to it the delivery note says "un repaired"

As mentioned on many occasions "I will not accept this unit un - repaired due to the fact that this is defective workmanship"

Until now I have been directed to and fro without any solid feedback and request that this matter be solved asap as I have lost patience and confidence in JDG and Grafton Everest.

Please contact me in regards to this as I forwarded you supporting information regarding the previous repair on this unit.

Regards

2021/06/24, 08:13 - Vishal: Hi Donee

I see all off my messages that I have sent is been ignored.

You assured me that you would be the person to assist me but I am beginning to think otherwise.

I don't see what the problem and delay is when you were first looking for the same unit at another store to do a swap and which didnt materialize due to there been no stock and thereafter your suggestion was we recover the lounge suit of which you were to get back to me.
2021/06/24, 08:16 - Vishal: This is absolutely not acceptable and I think I have been handling this matter passively and patiently as per your assurance that it would get sorted but the fact that you fail to update me or give me feedback on my messages leaves me no other options but to exercise my consumer rights.

I have been in touch with representatives at your company and I was informed that you have the authority to resolve this complaint, So again why am I been pushed from pillar to post and got to keep on following up on progress with no answers?

Whatsapp Messages End

I would really appreciate if this matter can been attended to with urgency and this matter closed. I have been a long stand customer of the JDG group for years and least expected such treatment.

Regards
Mr V Singh

Desired outcome: Have the lounge suit repaired to manufactured specs

Morning Sameer

Please see below matter. I was called on Friday that they are on their way to the warehouse to pick up my bedroom suite. Round about 15h30 the sales lady called me and advise that all the suites are scratched that they can't give me one. More excuses if you ask me. They knew that there was no suite available but kept me waiting.

Now I must wait 7 to 14 working days for my refund that I think is ridiculous. The branch can swipe and promises are made. I did not stuff up, so why do I have to wait two weeks for my own money to be paid back.

Kind regards

Wendy Wilson

Please assist in this customer complain

We purchased a item from your Russel branch in Boksburg, account ref : 5527401 - WP WILSON [protected] / [protected]

Arrangement were made for delivery on the 7th of April 2021, when they arrived all the items were damaged and my wife send it back, she then called the branch and they first told her its not their issue as it comes from the warehouse, surely you the same company .
She then called the sales lady and they promised her that the new stock will be replaced and delivered today the 8th of April 2021 at 1300 hours, we cancelled all our arrangements to be at home taken day off from work, when we called them at the branch they informed her that they will only be delivering on the 10th of April 2021
We called the branch and even the customer complains department, what a joke, as a client you mean just nothing to you as a company, nobody willing to assist .

I want my items delivered today as promised or make arrangement for latest tomorrow Friday the 9th of April 2021, we are not at home this weekend, if this is not possible please arrange to have my money paid back to us during the working hours on Friday the 9th of April 2021, we paid cash and will not be pushed around like rubbish, to be told one story on another story, they told my wife that we must wait 14 Days for refund, what rubbish is this

I WANT MY ITEMS PAID FOR CASH ON THE 3RD OF APRIL 2021 IN THE BRANCH DELIVERED EITHER TODAY OR LATEST TOMORROW OR MY MONEY BACK IN FULL WITH IN WORKING HOURS

Marius du Toit

Hello
I took a fridge on credit at Russells in EL. Then due to defaults the account was handed over to Deb Collectors. Made arrangements with them then 2 debut orders went off for the same account. Sent an email to credit provider regarding their debit order, a refund ticket was logged around the 4th of March 2021 which was supposed to take 7-14 working days. 27th March I sent another email to follow up and I was told that the ticket was logged and I must contact ADRS. When I asked why refer me but you debited the money they never replied to my emails again. Is it possible to outsoutce an account and still debit whereas there are arrangements with third party in place?...My email address is [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: Cancel the debi check and pay my refund

JDG Financial Services / JD Group Damage of property upon delivery

I took delivery of a fridge on the 29th Jan 2021.
The delivery guys were adamant to get through my front door when making the delivery, despite me asking them to go through the sliding door as it offered more space for the fridge to get through.
This resulted in them breaking the lamp outside my front door, along with pulling the security gate out of the wall at the bottom of the door.
I had them take pics of the light, however I only noticed the security gate later in the day.
I also called the Call Centre on the day, 29 Jan 2021 @ 10:02, to log a complaint, ref# [protected].I called them again on the 4th Feb 2021 as I had not heard back from them, only to find out that the issue has been marked as resolved 😡
I called again today, 10th Feb 2021, only to be told again that it has been marked as resolved. A note was left saying that someone came to take photos and it shows that the lamp is not broken. This is nonsense as no one has been here since the delivery.
I took pics on the day, pics when I called on the 4th Feb and pics today, 10th Feb to show that it is getting worse after the initial damage from just hanging there.
Someone needs to come out to fix or replace what your delivery guys broke!

Desired outcome: For the lamp and gate to be fixed.
