I have been a truworths account holder for about 4 years (My first account I ever opend). I lost my job in last year but still managed to make some payments, in this period I made arrangements with the accounts department. This month I paid r500 and made arrangements that I know I am still behind in my account and that I am trying my best to get it up to date. To my suprise I received a final notification stating that truworths will be taking court action. Is this possible seeing as I have been paying and making arrangements as I go along?
Could someone please advise me for I do not know which way to turn.

I'm a truworths account holder it's been a year

now ,and June last year I lost my purse which had my card and I did report at truworths that I lost my card and I have received a new one but every time I go and shop everytime they have to phone the head office in order for me to purchase and it's very annoying I have to wait for 30 to 45 minutes, why is that I've been paying my account and it's always up to date .

I would advise people to seek legal assistance from the credit ombudsman. Truworths is horrible and has wronged me so many times, I wouldn’t even know where to start. I regret opening an account with them. I will be going on social media and telling everyone willing to read and listen about all my experiences. I will also seek legal assistance. Additionally, I will let everyone I know that Truworths is not worth supporting because they do not know how to treat their customers and all they know is to suck blood.

While doing shopping at Truworths, i found it very annoying when the security guards follow me while i am trying to decide on items of clothing. Is this the way truworths operates? Please find a better way of dealing with security.

Good day
I've been requesting a settlement letter from truworths but I seem to get anythiing but the letter. The letters I get are either statements or letters that show my balance. The bank needs to get both my account's banking details in order to settle my accounts. Please assist as I need to submit before end of business day today. My account nr for Identity is [protected] and my truworths account is 10101107z024874. Please I would appreciate it if my request is attend to.

Hi there, I will like to apologise for not being able to pay my account lately on time.This year has been a battle for me because I am in financial difficulties.I will be happy if you could block my available purchasing balance as I am owing a total balance of R390 & which I do not have to finish off to zero on my owings.I will be happy if you can arrange a smaller balance for me to pay over a period of months as I am not managing at the moment, to avoid being handed over to the attorneys & being given a judgement.My email addres is Nthabiseng.Ngozo@bateman.com should you wish to contact me back via a letter& my account number is101 [protected].

I will gladly appreciate your assistance & thanking you in advance.

My name is Nozipho Magagula, i am a Truworths account holder and would like to inform you that I won't be able to pay my account this month due to a funeral of a family member. The thing is only my sister and I are bread-winners at home, now we have to cover our monthly costs and contribute towards the funeral as well. I will however pay it next month.

Thank you for the time taken in reading this

Regards

Nozipho

Good day I had an account with Truwoths and finished paying it. I realised now that I have an outstanding amount of R100 which is registered as a default on my account. I cannot understand how that is possible because I personnaly went in and payed the full amount directly at the store. Please assist my ID number [protected]. Please provide me with a clearance letter.

Dear Sir/Madam - I received your marketing advices - which recommended that I go to Truworths Sandton for free sample of a perfume. I received my message at 12:03 - went to Truworths Sandton at 4 and was advised by Personnel that the samples were distributed and finished at 10am. All I am saying - PLEASE do not waste our time - that is 'false advertising' ! I have to say ... this the Branch Manager promised to solve the issue and revert to me, and in 'True Truworths' style (what they say - cannot be trusted) advised me that Marketing Manager was in a meeting, and then promptly went and forgot about me! How important are we as Customers... is it a matter of getting the feet into your Store on False Pretext? Amina Khan

Hi there, my daughter in law bought a blouse for me, on friday, at the Festival mall, kemptonpark, on her account as a gift, when i got home i found that it was to small, so on Saturday morning she went to them to ask for a bigger size, and they refused to change as the tag was off, she had the slip, now my argument is why not change, and then the gentleman that works there, (if you can call him that) was following them around as if they were going to steel something, now what kind of service is this, i think this is terrible as i will never buy at that store as they will think you are going to steel and then not return if its to small.

Can somebody tell me why truworths has blocked my account when I have never missed a single payment. My account has always been up to date, but I can't make a purchase anymore.I have been calling their legal dept, but nobody bothers to explain why my account is blocked while I have been paying religiously. Somebody up there doesn't know what he is doing.
