I bought a puppy - they said the puppy would be registered and would receive the certificate in a month. The puppy is now 4 months and I have had to ask continuously for the certificate. She told me last week Friday that the puppy is not able to be KUSA registered. We want a letter of demand for 50% - we cant give the puppy back now because he is part of the family and we dont know what to do.
I have been Retrenched on the 31st of July because the Company wasn't making enough money. Our Severance Package was supposed to be paid latest 22nd of August. They made a small payment of R17 on the 1st of September. Everytime I enquire about the payment. They say they waiting for Money to come in from contractors.
Greetings I believe my case is more of civil, summary: over a year now since I had a verbal agreement with a couple as I gave them my car and they were to pay monthly payments, and as time went they promised that they want to pay off the car, it’s a financed car. I met the couple via a middleman and initially they were paying via the middleman then I realised I was not getting the money I was supposed to receive, sometimes half sometimes nothing at all, I decided that I want my car back and went to were they stayed with the middleman, they refused with the car and at the time we had a meeting with the police ,only to find out that the middleman asked them for a 20k upfront before they could use the car, of which I didn’t even have a cent or knowledge of. So they wanted their 20k otherwise I couldn’t take my car back, I explained to them I had no knowledge of such but still they refused to give me the car. I left them and cut the middleman out as he was not trustworthy, and that’s when we had the verbal agreement to start afresh settle the matter amicably and we were planing to draft a contract..time went by and I received only 1 payment for over a year now,I’m always the one running after them, before we could draft the contract then the car got involved in an accident driven by the husband at the time, they told me it was nothing to worry about and that they were gonna fix the car and that they planning to pay everything off, that they awaiting some estate settlement claim so that they can pay, now I tried to call it’s always excuses and I’m currently the one paying the monthly instalments for the car but the car is with them…kindly assist ,thank you.
There is a girl that has accused me of sexual harassment. She demand money enough for a house, a house, a house in steyn city as settlement for her to forget , threaten legal action and also demanded an apology and admission(which i did under pressure but have learnt now what she did was illegal). Now I don't know what to do. I have attached my version of what really occured and her inconsistencies. I didn't manage to record her extortion attempts( since it was a whatsapp call and she even told me that during the call) but I do have call logs, some charts of people I talked after the extortion and accusations were laid, my panic texts to her demands.
I was never married to the biological father. He has not paid maintenance since /20. My son (14yrs) refuses to talk or see him. Has not seen him since . He was married after our relationship. They got divorced; he also has a child with her. My son's ex-stepmom and I are in contact. She also wants to get involved; she has R child maintenance outstanding.
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request urgent assistance regarding travel consent for my children. I have received a job offer abroad, which requires me to relocate with my children. Unfortunately, both of their biological fathers are withholding consent for me to take the children out of South Africa. As background, I am divorced from both fathers and am the primary caregiver to my children. Neither father has regular contact with the children, and there is little to no meaningful relationship between them. Despite this, both are withholding consent for travel, which has placed me in a very difficult position. The Vredenburg Court has already granted me consent to apply for my children’s passports without their fathers’ signatures, and I have successfully applied for the passports. However, I now urgently need to apply for my visa and will require similar assistance to ensure I am able to travel with my children for this opportunity. Twins aged 12 born in first marriage, children aged 6 and 4 born in second marriage. This matter is time-sensitive, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance and support in navigating the next steps to ensure compliance with legal requirements while prioritizing the best interests of the children. Thank you in advance for your understanding and urgent attention to this matter.
Date has been set to confirm trail on 18th September . Already have maintenance order in place have requested increase after 2 years. My son is autistic and requires special needs support. Father has previously tried postponing the previous trail by changing address, jobs and not showing up with requested documents.
First Help towing company towed by car after an accident. Initially the driver falsely represented himself saying he was sent by the insurance company associated with Pace Car Rental who I was renting a vehicle from. I then got confirmation from Pace that this was not true, I told the driver not to take the vehicle and repeated this 2-3 times. I had filled in his form, he had not completed it. He said he would not take the vehicle, I then turned to talk to a security guard at the scene and the tow truck drove off. I called Pace car and explained this situation, they said I would not be charged (Lauren the claims agent at Pace says all call are recorded, I am waiting on this). Today I received and invoice from Pace on behalf of First Help, I don’t feel I am liable for this as 1. The driver lied about the association with Pace 2. Then took the car after been repeatedly told not to tow the car. I would like some help in resolving this issue and would like some legal guidance.
