I went to ackermans tower mall to cancel my lay-bye as I have lost my job and cannot pay any further. I meet two employees who gave me an extremely bad attitude one named Kgomotso. They told me that they don't have money on their tills and that I should come back later or another day. I then went back two days after and still Kgomotso was very rude. She...

Ackermans unauthorised debit order for family protector plan by fsp consultant

I was in Ackermans Golden Acre store on Friday, 31st January 2020. FSP consultant approached me regarding policy, I said that I had an existing small funeral policy on my account. I could not tell her who the beneficiaries were and she said she could check. She requested my cell number and went to check. Then she returned and waited with me in the queue as she had to present client to the cashier to get the information. I was on a lunch break and in a bit of a hurry and I told her that. She then got a slip from the cashier and asked that I sign a policy agreement book that she had. I said for what? she said it was to confirm the existing policy that I had as it was done previously online, which I had told her and this was confirmation of that existing policy. I said No, as I do not sign anything that I have not read. She then said that I can take a picture of the document and that she just needs my signature. I said No, I do know my rights and I am not obliged to sign anything. She was very insistent but I refused her every time, I said once again that I was on a lunch break and I will appreciate a call later from an official and I will chat to them but I was not interested in signing anything when I know that I have a policy and why do you need my signature to see who my beneficiaries are. This persistant consultant actually followed me to the door as I was leaving saying that she had this printed form which I had to sign as she had printed it already. I replied that I do not have to sign or the time now and then she said, I can write on the paper that I did not want this. I wrote on this slip, "On Lunch, call me later". I now today, 3/02/20202 received an SMS that I now have a new Family protection policy and R109, 95 will be deducted from my account. Now, how dare she do this. I did not authorise any debit order. My signature was not on any policy document. And to take my banking details from my ackermans account to institute a debit order is unethical and definitely Fraud. I want this investigated as these FSP consultants need to be trained in the ethics of their job.

I bought clothes for my newborn baby in December and unfortunately I misplaced the slip however I was able to find proof that I paid with my card, the 2nd slip that normally comes out once you have paid by card. On the back of that slip it says you can exchange clothes without the slip but Ackermans Bayside Mall refused to do the exchange. So why does your...

Ackermans customer service / accounts department

After setting up a RECURRING debit order in November I am receiving text messages saying I am behind on payment. Calling customer service was a waste of time as I was transferred to 3 different people each telling me something else. According to one I do have a recurring debit order and she does not understand why the debit orders did not go off and even told me it was set to go off on the 2nd of each month, but still transferred me to someone else. The next person then told me that there is no recurring debit order and wanted to send me the forms to complete so I do have a debit order. Why then did I spend almost an hour on the phone in November setting up a debit order? And why did I just spend almost another hour being transferred from one person to the next and eventually put on hold for more than 15 minutes where after the call was dropped?
This is unacceptable!

I went to Ackermans cradlestone mall, to laybye, and yesterday the 13th of December I went to take out the laybye. To my surprise when I got home, the short I laybyed was switched, instead of a short I was given a skirt, n the skirt doesn't have a price tag. Because cradlestone is a bit far from where I'm staying I went to the nearest Ackermans, and I wa...

Ackermans agent extremely lack quality customer service, rude and ill mannered

Aphiwe Manzana called me today, Friday 13 Dec 2019 at 15:56, without providing any clear reason for her call - she started to harass me, raising her condescending voice while acting as if she knows me and I'm her friend.
Call her to order and she must never call me again. I suspect is the same gent who called me yesterday, Thursday, 12 Dec 2019 at 14:29 from 0314595482 behaving the same way. Kindly investigate this and address it with me urgently. From N. Goniwe | [protected]
