Hi all I'm not 1 2 complain about service but I had to post this about Stanger truworths (kwadukuza mall) I visited the store today 1stly they didn't want to allow me in the store because I refused to use the sanitizer they provided... I had my own sanitizer which I used infornt of the security on entery...according to management it is policy to use the sanitizer they provide... As I choose the items I wanted and proceed to the till to pay the cashier called the manager as she need do allow the system to allocate my purchase as I dont have a card and I was using my ID... My account was opened in May 2021 and up to date no card has been received by me... once the manager got to the till she asked me if I have my id which I produced to her she then states she cannot use my ID because it has been stuck with tape and made me remove the tape to further investigate the id... I had to remove the plastic laminate to prove that the ID hasn't got tape.. Which she still refused to process as now my id came apart... They don't want to use my temp drivers license as they don't allow this... the manager of the store was rude not helpful at all I explained to her that I have used the same ID in other truworths stores before to make purchases and the same ID was used to to open the account... she rufused to help me and started attended to other customers in store... It's not my fault I didn't receive my card and I used the same ID to vote, do my drivers and buy my vehicle licensing with out any issues and not forgetting to open the account... I had to pay cash for the items and leave... Very dissapointing with the truworths staff at Stanger and they way they do business... Never will I shop there again and I will surely Inform others on how poor there people skills are... We as customers are paying for a services and expect good delivery not crap that I revived today...
Service
I went to Truworths Southdale Mall on 2021-12-16, when I got to the entrance I used my own hand sanitizer because my doctor recommended me to use only 1 sanitizer due to my sensitivity skin condition. The lady at the shop rudely told me not to use my own sanitizer and have to use the one provided by the store, I tried explaining my condition but due to her attitude I left the store. Can Truworths company put it in writing by the entrance that customers are not allowed to use their own hand sanitizer for customers like myself to know that I don't go to the store for health reasons.
Desired outcome: Notice at the entrance to avoid rude encounter with the store's employees
I had the same issue with Stanger
Service and product
You guys are refusing us to change an item bought from you in less that 7 days.. With tags and everything just because there is no receipt... We have proof we bought the item.
That is unlawful and against consumer right.!
We got the wrong size we just need an exchange what kind of service and crime this is to refuse that!
The shirt still has your tag! This is unacceptable. And robbery!
I bought clothes from Truworths and all of them have faded out in less then a year.
I have bought this clothes on account from northgate branch. This clothes have faded out completely. I have clothes that I bought 5 to 10 years ago less price compared to what I have paid for your clothes they are still good and new. Please my advise to you don't ignore my complain I telling you in advance
Desired outcome: I need my refund and my account settled and closed
Randomly blocked my account
Truworths blocked my account during an exchange I made. For no reason. There only reply was they block accounts randomly for security checks. They couldn't help me to get it unblocked. I am a customer for years. This treatment is unfair and unasked for. Where do we turn to for help. I feel it is unethical behaviour towards the customer. I never had this problem before.
Desired outcome: Not Resolved. Account still blocked.
I am complaining about Card activation
I went to Truworths (Kerk Street JHB)to activate my card since I closed it earlier this year.
They called the call Centre and told me to use my ID if I want to make purchases, I will receive the card later. I went to Truworths again( Kerk Street) to check how much am I qualifying for.They took my ID and check on their system, they told me I can buy for R10.000 and they gave me the slips for discounts. I did not buy anything that day I said I will come when I need something as long as my account is active.
on the 10 December 2021 I received a notification on my cell phone that said thanks for the resent transaction on your account.On Monday( 13th Dec) I saw the statement when I was checking my emails, they bought clothes from different malls for R9000. and something. I did not made any purchase from Truworths. I called them and told them what happened and they said I must fill in the dispute form and send it with my Id copy they will do an investigation on their side. I suspect people from Truworths Kerk street JHB, I went there to activate my account
My name is Ntombiyabo Hompashe ( Id:[protected])
Bad service
This morning I tried to log into the online account and purchase a shoe for my daughter, yet again I was inconvenienced by Truworths claiming that my account is in arrears and I was not able to make the purchase because according to them the account is in arrears after the payment was made on the 22 November 2021. I sent the POP of payment but it is the second time now I am being embarrassed and not being able to make a purchase for my daughter which I find utterly appalling
Embarrassing service
Saturday the 11th December I tried purchasing a gift for my daughters birthday and I was advised that my account is in arrears which is not true because I explained to the guy that I made a payment on the 22nd November and I even logged into my banking app to prove this. They made a call to head office and I was advised to send the POP so that they can update the payment on there side as well as my account. I could not make the purchase for my daughter which is utterly unacceptable. I have been paying via EFT for years using the same details and never have I had such an experience.

poor quality of sneakers
Customer service
Truworths Randfontein South Africa, has extremely poor customer service...
There are always just 2 tellers working no matter how busy the store is... Month end, Sassa...
Its during the week on a Thursday halfpas 1 the que is extremely long and only 2 tellers working... The store has recently been upgraded, it's much bigger but the service remains poor, I don't think packing out stock is more important than customers queing..
Desired outcome: Make exceptions when you see the que is long... I dnt think packing out stock at that moment is more important than customers queing...
Inwear sneakers
Good morning truworths team
I have bought a pair of pink and white Inwear sneakers at Kwaggafontein mall around April 2021 with the amount of R575. 00 hoping that is the best quality in the shop. In September 2021 I have realized that the sneakers are torn under the foot.
My problem is that I have lost the slip to return to the store. How can I be assisted in this regard.

Good day
I shoped at loads of living last week friday. I requested cashmere room spary amonst other items and made a purchase of close to r2000. I have spent over r15 000 in this store over the past month alone. I could not find the spray in my big bags of shopping when I got home. I went to the store on sunday and they said they will call the area manager as they cannot help me. I went yesterday, no one was willing to assist. Considering how much I spend, I was very angry at this poor service at loads of living in bedford centre. I don't have the stupid spray but I have paid for it. Even the area manager wasn't willing to assist considering what a good customer I am this is disgusting. I asked to close my account, and instead of trying to salvage me, they said oh no "you have an outstanding balance so we can't allow you to close". This is illegal in itself. Let along they could reimburse my account provide a silly spray to me. They made me feel like I would steal a spray. Who hell knows where they have it. But this store is obviously badly run. I will not there again. They are willing to throw away thousands ofrands rather than assisting me.
I would like to see the footage of that day and I would like either the spray / reimburse my account cancel the damn thing. I have been a customer for 20 years. This is pathetic!
My nr is [protected]. I don't want to provide further information on line. Please contact me for private information.
Desired outcome: I would like to see the footage of that day and I would like either the spray / reimburse my account cancel the damn thing
Online service
Since november truworths suddenly has a new site. This new site doesn't allow the customers to order items online without create online profile popping up the whole time. While the customer already logged in successfully the customers name is still displayed as NA and when you try to check your items out the create online profile keeps popping up. It is very frustrating and disappointing. The steps that truworths online explains does not even help at all!
Desired outcome: Make the online shopping as easy as it was before this new site truworths has now

Desired outcome: Get the very same handbag I wanted
Quality of the Shoes
I bought these shoes at Truworths on 09/06/2021 and my Wife only wears them now and then. But now 09/11/2021 the shoe looks 3 years old, the only problem is the name on the shoe the letters are coming out and the part where they sowed it it's coming apart. The rest of the shoe still looks good but it's the sewing that's not good quality. [protected] Pink and White Runner brand name is (Hey Betty) it was R650. Can truworths please do something about the quality of the shoes they bring in the Pretoria CBD stores.. Thank you.
Desired outcome: Better quality
Double deduction still not refunded
I have been fighting what seems like a losing battle with Truworths for almost a year now.
In December 2020 I made a purchase at the Truworths store in Gateway mall, Umhlanga.
I swiped my card in store and later found that my account was actually double debited by Truworths.
When I contacted Truworths, I was told to go back to the store and speak to someone there. I was then told to send an email to somebody in the store, attaching my bank statement to show the double deduction.
I did all of that but never received a response on my email.
When I followed up, I was told to speak to my bank (ABSA) about the issue. I then contacted ABSA and they told me to go back to Truworths as it was not an ABSA issue.
When I came back to Truworths, I was told that it was an issue with Standard Bank. Truworths does their banking with Standard Bank.
Truworths sent me a Standard Bank letter which stated that Standard Bank had a problem with its facility and some people were double debited.
The letter also stated that Standard bank would be refunding all the affected people within a few days.
This never happened. Thereafter, I contacted Truworths again to sort out the matter but they never did.
Afterwards, due to personal circumstances, I was unable to follow up on this matter until this month.
When I got back in contact with Truworths, I find that they are giving me the same run around again.
They are refusing to do their job. Instead they are insisting that its not their issue and I must sort it out myself.
I've already wasted all of my airtime trying to deal with Standard Bank, which is a terrible bank. For me to explain the issue to Standard Bank takes approximately 3 hours before they can even understand the issue. By which time my airtime runs out, and then I don't hear from Standard Bank.
I am sick and tired of Truworths evasive action. laziness and incompetence.
I should not even be contacting Standard Bank in the first place. This is Truworths issue.
I just made a simple purchase in store and got robbed and today Truworths is smiling with my money.
Truworhts is a despicable company which needs to be brought to book.
Desired outcome: Full refund of my stolen money
I am complaining today because of Truworths wrongly paying my payment into some one else's account an NW I am forced to pay the arreas tht ws cause due to there mistake no apology no excuse just tht I am in arreas because of them so wht should I do in my situation seeing tht my account ws fully payd every month until thr negligence so how r they gna fix this as a loyal customer an after my last payment i am closing tht account pls help
Evening dress
I bought a dress in Tygervalley Truworths store for the wedding. The dress had glitters on and they are all over. In my car, in the kitchen everywhere. The worse part is that my baby is allergy in these. On the wedding day I had to take it off because everyone who comes close to me would get glitters. I was so embarrassed because I could see some people they don't like it and the worse part is my baby's allergy.
I don't expect a store like truworths would sell something like this. I should have went to the Chinese shop and get something cheaper but because I wanted something that would last me for upcoming occasions.
The worse part is that the manager in Vangate mall did not want to refund me. She had a bad attitude. She said she doesn't know what she is going to say when she writes the reason for refund.
I'm so dissapointed with truworths. I ended up leaving them dress at their store because I can't take it home with me it makes my baby sick.
Debt record on my credit score
October 2021
My number is [protected].
I spoke to a truworths debt agent between the 1st and 24th October 2021 about my outstanding debt of R1615.12 which I needed to pay I specifically told the advisor that I will make a full payment on the 27 October 2021 and she promised that there wont be a credit mark if i make payment on the day.I made full payment of R1615.12 on the 27 October 2021 at gugulethu truworths. But theres a credit mark which is stated October 2021 of a missed payment but I already made the full payment.
My resolution is that I want the October missed payment credit mark to be removed please I am not happy about this and im even thinking of closing down the account because of this.Not happy at all.
Desired outcome: My resolution is that I want the October missed payment credit mark to be removed please I am not happy about this and im even thinking of closing down the account because of this.Not happy at all.
