Truworths Sandton Branch

My is Dr Richard Kapunga S.A permanent Resident, so I behold the green ID; I’m a new Truworth Account holder that I registered via internet.

As normal process I supposed to go to complete my registration from the truworth shop, because I live in Sandton so I went to Sandton mall.

My current green it completely original and nothing wrong with it, I can be honest that it got a bit wet and I’m in the process to replace it with the home affairs.

When I got to the shop they way I was treated was so discriminating as if i was criminal, just because I did not have smart ID.

I had to be refused the service I went home with a big regret.

My account number is: [protected]

I’m ready to complain in person then you will see my ID that your agent refused; and treat me as criminal.

If this how you will be treating your valuable customers then it fine; you can cancel my account.

Best Regards

Dr Richard Kapunga

Claimed loss: I want confrontation with your agent that discriminated me.

Desired outcome: Confrontation; i must get a apology from them after verification that my ID book it original

Truworths It’s a red skirt from my husband for my birthday it came as a gift

My husband got me a gift from Truworths and now I’m trying to exchange it the shop is refusing to assist me. What should I do with the skirt. It’s small. What kind of a policy that only accommodates those with accounts and not those of us who pay cash. Are u saying your store is for accounts only. If that is the case please write on the door so those of us who pay cash can go elsewhere.

Desired outcome: Can I exchange the skirt or you give me my money back.

Truworths Customer service

On the 16th of February at your Rosebank store, I was collecting an order my mother had made for me. Upon waiting in line for the order, one of the sales clerks, who had curly hair that was two-toned proceeded to make rude remarks and speak about me to another clerk who is bald and wears glasses. I thought it was extremely inappropriate and just plain uncomfortable. Please address that sort of behaviour because it doesn’t make one feel comfortable ever returning to the store again.

Desired outcome: Better behaviour

Truworths I'm suffering as the amount was supposed to pay for my damaged car.

I overpaid my Truworths Account on the 02nd of February 2024. I went to the store after realizing that I overpaid on the 8th of February 2024. I was told that I will be paid back on daily basis depending on the amount they have on the store. In agreed and they called their Head office, the 1st lady who asked me verification question claimed that I failed it, and I must come back the following day which is today the 9th of February 2024. what amaze me is when I was told I even failed question 1 on verification which is what is your name? is also funny as it was not answering verification question with Truworths.

I hereby demand my money back in full transferred back to my account as I can't do verification everyday which I will fail my name. I'm willing to send the affidavit stating my account details and all the proof of payment including the bank statement that my money may be paid back as the Truworths consultant Amber said the is no other way, and others says the is.

please assist me to get my R9524.18 back.

Thank you.

Desired outcome: The amount of R 9524.18 be paid bac to my account. I'm ready to send certified copies of my ID, Truworths Account card, affidavit and bank statement that the amount may be paid back .to my account as i paid via EFT

Truworths Payment on my account

On the 9th of January 2024 I made a payment on my account directly at the store. Till today the 16th of January I'm receiving letters that I haven't paid, went to the store and was told payment is not showing even when I have provided the proof of payment. I'm really upset as this has now impacted my credit score badly. I could not even take out a contract at other stores due to this issue.

Desired outcome: Fix this issue and remove dunning notices on my name.

Truworths Customer service from the call center

I can confirm that my installment was paid late because I was in a foreign country and had no access to my bank account. Today at 16:14 I received a call saying that my installment was delayed and underpaid. I attempted to correct the lady, because I paid according to what is on my statement and also attempted to explain my reason for the delay. I was treated with utter disrespect and rudely interrupted. She had respect and clearly did not want to listen or even attempt to understand.

Desired outcome: Staff should be trained to have respect even if clients pay late or not.

Truworths Shoes exchange

Goodday I bought shies for my son on my husbands account 2 days back. When he fitted it at home it was to big. I went back today with iriginal slip. They did not want to exchange because I did not have my husbands id or card. Ok if I wanted a refund I can understand that would have wanted that but I wanted to exchange. My question is: If I bought it for my son that is staying in Pretoria and he wanted to exchange it must I courier my original id or card to him so that he can do it? Does it sound normal. I do not think so. The lady at The Waterfront branch in Bloemfontein said they need the original id or card. I am not a happy client at all. Please give feedback.

Desired outcome: Truworths to exchange the shoes if i have the original slip I do not see why they must have the ORIGINAL ID OR CARD. Now I must drive out fuel again to go there. This is ridiculous.

Truworths Wrong advertising

Good day

I visited one of your branch at Fourways Mall today the 6th of December 2023

I was attracted by your offer of a bag that had a price ticket of R499,with there was a ticket attached that says”Buy this bag and get a free voucher of R150”When I get to the counter the cashier who helped me understood the message but she was surprised that the price was not deducted after punching in the product.

The receipt that then comes up says I will get the voucher on my next visit.

Thus deceiving,thus wrong advertising.

Regards

James Moyo

Desired outcome: They should less my balance with that amount of R150 as advertised

My last visits has been very disappointing waiting in a long queue and there is just one cashier. Im also very upset with the quality of the items I bought recently. Items I bought 2 years ago lasted but now my items specifically the shirts OBR and ginger mary doesn't last 6 months and the material is see through and sudden holes in the fabric, the name of ginger Mary comes off after a couple of washes. I used to love OBR but the seems comes loose and the fabric is so poor.

I have even asked them to reduce my credit limit as they increase it every 3 months as I really feel like I dont want to buy there anymore if I dont need to. I like the formal wear so I will keep my account just for incase I need something fancy

I bought a very nice jersey and a formal top and the jersey and top is just in the worst condition after the first few washes as the material is pulling strings and I dont even want to wear it

I bought a 2 pack OBR shirts that I had to take back as the shirts were laterally skew

Ginger Mary skirt the 34 were bigger than the 38 and I showed the lady on the floor.

Paying so expensive for the quality we have been getting

Very disappointing customer service and products
