A pain ๐ and sleepless nights for 2 years that finally ended and was resolved in a week ๐๐พ
You may find that you are going through the same, read this ๐๐พ
This client contacted View4You after battling for almost 2 years with MIOSA and dealership. We got involved, did the inspection and provided our report. MIOSA then ruled in favour of the client and said the car must be repaired. However the dealership did not repair the car as per ruling, we were grateful for the ruling however we felt it was unfair to rule that the dealership should repair, this ruling should have been a full refund or to replace the car as it was a lemon ๐, unsafe to drive and not roadworthy!!
Keep in mind this client has been paying insurance and instalments for a car she is not using, itโs either stuck in her yard or at the dealership ๐, the finance house had refused to uplift this deal and stated the client must sort it out with the dealership. We all know how that goes, itโs straight into a brick wall !!
The dealership refused to repair the car, which made us happy because we knew where this will end up. The matter returned to MIOSA, MIOSA then issued a closing letter for the case to be escalated to The NCC. This did not sit well with our Founder, he then made some high-level calls to the finance house which was ABSA, and within a week this deal was uplifted and the process of paying the client back all their instalments started.
This story is a reality many people in South Africa are faced with, they are driving lemons ๐ ๐ because they trusted the dealership. So listen to these findings.
ABSA does not finance salvaged cars. The dealership had lied to ABSA, as many others do to their financing houses, and sold this car as non-salvage and accident-free. That is why they did not entertain the client. The client then also didnโt know the car was a salvage car until we at View4You inspected the car and found out not only was it a salvage, this should be scrap metal, not roadworthy, unsafe, it was in a terrible accident๐๐พ
The culprits here are the Car Dealerships, they are not being honest with the finance houses !!!
People of South Africa, you may be driving a salvage car that is financed illegally, you may be thinking why is this car so problematic? Well you could be a victim because you trusted the dealership and you are now driving a salvaged car unknowingly!!!
If you bought a second-hand car and you did not get it Inspected wether financed or cash. Please get it checked, and get the history checks done as well.
You are welcome to book us to do it for you anywhere in South Africa as we are a Nationwide company. If we find out that the car you bought and financed was a salvage car we will help you contact the right people in all the finance houses and bypass those that are not telling the authorities in the finance houses the truth !!!!

A huge shoutout and honour to @AbsaSouthAfrica for coming through and lifting this deal with no excuses or stories, you saw the facts and you acted immediately. Thank You ๐๐พ
Our perception of ABSA as a Finance House has made a 180-degree turn.
We almost forgot to tell you, this Dealership also tried to bribe our Inspector to pass the car and give it a green light, oh well that didnโt go well as we reported them to @Absa@AbsaSouthAfrica
So dealerships kindly learn from this, donโt you dare try bribing any of our guys, we will report you to every finance house you are affiliated with !!!

@ms_tourist@CartrackZA I can tell you now majority of Companies are great until they hire a Black hr executives....
We had Lunch and taxi transport allowance he came in and cut all that obviously shareholders were happy to save!
Morocco, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia. They are conducting arrests, raids, mass deportations and expulsions of undocumented migrants but guess which country every African is talking about!!!
@MightiJamie We have since learned that y'all also can be bought to infiltrate information depending on the biggest bidder at that moment and its annoying and distasteful especially that y'all vehemently deny deny deny!
