Good Morning,

Please be so kind as to assist me with cancellation of my contract.

I’ve been sending FoneChoice emails since the 26th of November and to date I have been debited twice on my account with an amount of R728.76 for a product that I’ve sent back and requested them to cancel the contract and provide me with proof of cancellation.

Latest debit went through today the 10th of December 2018.

Should you need any further information on the matter, please let me know as I would like this matter to be sorted.

Thank you for your assistance in this regard.

Good day,

My account has once again been debited with R728.76.

As per my request below – cancel contract with immediate effect!

This email will now also be forwarded to the Commissioner at the Consumer Protection Act Offices who will be looking into the matter as I am not receiving any confirmation of cancellation of the contract.

This also has a negative effect on my credit score!

Your feedback by close of business today that the contract has been cancelled and proof thereof will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Good Afternoon,

I am unfortunately still not happy with my order and would hereby like to cancel my order due to HomeChoice/fonechoice not keeping up to their end of our deal.

The Canon MG2545S series (which I did not order) is also not a WIFI printer which was one of the explicit reasons why I ordered the HP Deskjet 2630 printer.

Please arrange for cancellation of my contract and for someone to come and pick up the goods from my office in Phalaborwa.

I’ve seen HomeChoice’s latest brochures and they are still advertising the product so why it is listed on my contract with a serial number but not delivered I am unable to say.

Also please ensure that any debit orders loaded not go off of my account as I will have to return it as an unauthorised debit.

Thank you for understanding.

I had an account with Fonechoice. During September 2021 I requested a settlement amount and was given R4,593.84 as a settlement amount which I immediately paid. End Septembers an amount of over R200 was deducted from my account, and in October over R500 was deducted.

I have been asking for a transaction history of me account to no avail. Should Fonechoice deduct any amount again from my account I am going to take further steps.

I was bought a laptop it has insurance but now i do not have its stay there my problem is im not learning anymore i stucking but still paying everything about it please help me

Finchoice is the worst. My laptop went on repairs in February 2021 and it is now July, I still do not have the laptop. I am paying both the instalment and insurance. The Finchoice insurance it’s not helping at all it is a scam. Every time I call they say the laptop still on repairs and they will call me back but they never do.

I am very angry with their service. I sent an email to them so they could repair my phone, there was no answer so i yhen called Several times and on all occasions they promised to collect the phone for repairs but no one ever collected.
Their service is very poor, we are forced to pay for insurance while they know very well they will not help us.....
I would never recommend you guys ever, i am soo angry because you take your customers for granted and you have poor service. And i am never purchasing a phone from you guys. What a waste of money.

I am very upset with the type of service that I am receiving since last year 2020

fonechoice sent COUREIR IT to my door step on the 01.06.2020 for collection of my phone for repair, since then i haven't receive any info regarding whereabout of my device i stopped paying my account which is on arrears and it affecting my record
kindly advise on way forward

I purchased a laptop from Fonechoice in November 2019 on contract. In27 NOVEMBER 2020 It went in for repairs. Four months later to date I have still not received my laptop and I am still honouring my installments every month . I have phoned copiously and most of the time there is no answer and finally when there is an answer I get pushed from Pilar to post but I still have no solid feedback. Customer service is absolutely disgusting. I have given Fonechoice enough of time. I am very disappointed in Fonechoice as compared to finchoice and homechoice. I am a very good payer and I do not deserve this kind of treatment. In future it will be very hard for me to consider dealing with Fonechoice if this is how I get treated with just a simple repair. If this matter is not resolved with URGENCY, emphasis on urgency I will be forced to contact consumer omnibus. Thank you and looking forward to a quick response. 0780999040-MR ZT MSANE

I sent an Acer laptop for screen repair in january 2021and today is april. The laptop still not back. No communication from fonechoice. From january that they had the laptop at their repair centre, they called me and sent me a message month end of march informing me that I'm in arrears for the access fee which they never arranged with me the detail of. When I call for follow up I'm told still at the repair center. The painful part is that I'm still paying installment everymonth but I don't have the laptop. I feel like I'm being exploited as the customer. And there is no specific person that u can call within fonechoice who can help. My email adress is [email protected]

I took a contract with fonechoice and it was via the phone. I agreed to a months contract then to my surprise when i thought i finished then fonechoice send the statement showing i took 36 months contract. I send an email to them i even called then requesting for a phone record where i too a contract so they can see and hear our agreement. Instead they keep harrasing me. My name is nomsa sephula ID 8801160467083

I took a contract with fonechoice and it was via the phone. I agreed on 24 months contract. And through all those years of paying i never received a statement and i never requested for it until i thought im done paying. To my suprise i saw a statement saying i took a 36 months contract then i send an email to fonechoice stating my concerns and they didn't bother to help me. Instead they debited the monthly money then i decided to reverse the money. I called them asking fir a phone record where i took the contract so they failed to do so. They keep on harrasing me instead of helping. My name is nomsa sephula ID 8801160467083

Since I sent my laptop for repair September 2020 it's been 5 months already and it's not back.when I try to call the consultant wants details that the already have ,the other said she'll send an email for them to check what's taking so long ,the other said they went working since September the started working February still now it's not back and the boring part is that the still taking their installments even when I am not using their product.contact no 0765080880.

I have paid up my laptop last year and asked for the insurance to be canselled which never happened i now owe fonechoice R700 ,I HAVE BEEN CALLING PROMISED TO GET FEED BACK AND BEING SEND FROM PILLAR TO POST TO GET HELP ,THE COLLECTION DEPARTMENT IS NOT LISTENING AND THE CONSULTANT JUST DROP THE PHONE ON MY EARS, I HAVE REFERENCE NO 698388 WHICH IS NOT HELPING ,VERY FUSTRATE ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED WITH THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT I RECEIVE. I CALLED TODAY SPOKEN TO LINDILE HE PROMISED TO ESCALATE THE QUERY BUT I HAVE RUN OUT OF PATIEANCE

I purchased a laptop from Fonechoice in November 2019 on contract. The laptop is insured. In October 2020 It went in for repairs just for a charging pin. Four months later to date I have still not received my laptop and I am still honouring my installments every month including an extra fee for insurance. I have phoned copiously and most of the time there is no answer and finally when there is an answer I get pushed from Pilar to post but I still have no solid feedback. Customer service is absolutely disgusting. The reason for the purchase of the laptop was for my daughter who recently became an IT student. With schools reopening on Monday 15th February 2021 considering she’s going into a very important grade,11. Fonechoice is jeopardising her subject at school. She will not be able to practice this subject without a laptop. I have given Fonechoice enough of time. I am very disappointed in Fonechoice as compared to finchoice and homechoice. I am a very good payer and I do not deserve this kind of treatment. In future it will be very hard for me to consider dealing with Fonechoice if this is how I get treated with just a simple repair. If this matter is not resolved with URGENCY, emphasis on urgency I will be forced to contact consumer omnibus. Thank you and looking forward to a quick response. 0790731783-mrs p.s Dunn

I've placed a claim 4 months ago with fonechoice of which 2 is stil being accessed. It is frustrating that the only communication is email and have not had any reply for 3 months. Customer service can't assist as they waiting on them for feedback and insurance is being debited. Being in the dark sucks

Hi there I'm so disappointed about the tendency I got from fonechoice I put in a claim on the second of November 2020 to you guys but since then I haven't received an response ,I've tried to call fonechoice but the only answer I get is that they will check at the claim office they have debited for the second time but to answer me no

Hi i m a customer who took a laptop,laptop case and a tablet that was in 2017 sometime in November if i m not mistaken with the agreement that i will pay R525.19 per month so i paid that amount until today but the fustrating part about this exercise is that there is no monthly statement that is being sent to me as per norm i have tried to talk to them via email they only responded once by sending my statement then after that they stopped never send me anything. I don't even know how much i owe them as of now but i just keep on paying them and i also know that theres one month of June last year that i m behind with i know that but that doesn't give them any right not to send me my due stament, i thought of stop paying the account once and for all in order for them to meet my demands but i was going to be on the losing side because they are so quick to put interest in your account and also put you in arears. So any help i can get to solve this because according to my knowledge this account was supposed to have been finished last year 2019 i m just not sure which month exactly.So please somebody help me. My contact details are as follows:0724351896/email:[email protected]/ Name: Masonwabe Mananga

I have 2 phones took out with FONECHOICE, i am paying 900 and with no DATA, i skipped 2 payments on purpose because i cannot buy 2 phones without DATA,

i am now requesting my recording to confirm that i requested phones with DATA, that ridiculous, 2 phones without DATA, everyday i getting calls to say i must pay i wont need my DATA that i was promised, if i new i should have gone to Telkom because they are reasonable

Very angry with them, i even told them i want to cancel and they must collect their phones but courier failed to collect,

I have ran out of IDEAS

Hi

I am very upset with the type of service that I am receiving since 31 October 2017.

Firstly I phoned in to advise that my laptop was broken, they told me that they will pick up the device within 2-3 business days and I waited 2 weeks and no one got back to me, I had to phone back in to ask what’s happening, upon complaining I then received a call from the courier company to collect, upon arrival of the courier the guy that came did not have a slip and I asked him if he expects me to give him the laptop that I am still paying for without a receipt? He came back 2 days later with a receipt.

Secondly, after this I waited for the laptop received an sms that the laptop is now being repaired and that they will advise me of the excess fee, then the excess fee was just deducted from my account without any warning and I had to phone in again to ask why they deducted from my account twice and was told that it’s the excess fee of which NO ONE told me what the amount will be nor when they will be deducting!

In the same call I asked when I will be receiving the device, and I received an sms the same day that they dispatched it to the courier. I received the laptop yesterday and to my SURPRISE, THE LAPTOP NOW WONT SWITCH ON! DON’T YOU TEST THE LAPTOPS BEFORE ITS DISPATCHED OR WAS I JUST SENT A LAPTOP CAUSE I COMPLAINED????

I PHONED AND SENT FONECHOICE AN EMAIL ON THE 28TH OF DECEMBER 2017 OF WHICH THEY SAID THEY WILL PRIORITIZE MY MATTER AND THEY BOOKED FOR COLLECTION TO GET THE LAPTOP SORTED OF WHICH I AM STILL WAITING, STILL HAVE THE BROKEN LAPTOP AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM.

AS I FEEL NOW I HAVE HAD IT WITH FONECHOICE AND THE SERVICE, I FEEL THAT I WANT TO GIVE THE WHOLE PACKAGE BACK AND DEMAND ALL MY MONEY BACK AS I DID NOT SKIP A SINGLE PAYMENT ON THIS CONTRACT AND I AM RECEIVING THIS TYPE OF SERVICE OR TERMINATE THE CONTRACT WITH YOU WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT AND NOT DEAL WITH YOU EVER AGAIN!!!!

A VERY UPSET CUSTOMER!!!!

THIS IS THE REFERENCE THAT I RECEIVED - Reference - IC0001127184
