I wanted to Pawn a truck for R (twenty thousand rands) 11 days ago - 03 April . I initialed and signed the agreement. I handed over to the Pawnshop the truck ownership certificate. I demanded that the total repayment amount be filled in the agreement and a copy be given to me. The Pawnshop filled in an outrageous amount of R (one hundred and three thousand rands) that I must repay within 30 days. I said I cancel the contract and I managed to take back the car registration/ownership paper, which I still posses. It was late after 5pm so I was told the truck was already locked away in the garage. I had to fly out of the country the following day. I made arrangements for my wife to fetch the truck. The Pawnshop owner insisted on the agreement unilaterally and went ahead to deposit the R into my account. He ignored my request for him to provide me with his banking details. I have not touched his R and I want to refund him and get my truck back.
I’m doing some research for my friend that lives in Meyerton, South Africa. She has a 8 year old son who’s biological father has no contact, for all of the child’s life. How much do you charge for her to obtain sole custody? Also how much do you charge if she would like also like to try for financial maintenance from the estranged father or grandparents?

I purchased a house in Jan . The agreement according to the OTP is that the transfer would be done by the 30th April due to me having an active lease elsewhere which ends at the same time. I've paid all registration and bond costs already. Two weeks ago, I get a call from the agent telling me that she has some bad news which is that the sellers new purchase didn't go as planned. When I asked what that meant for me she started to beat around the bush and not say anything. I then called her senior who advised me that they just wanted to check because sometimes there can be some arrangement made and the transfer postponed on mutual agreement to which i maintained that I do not have anywhere else to go and therefore cannot agree. Now, the transfer attorneys and agents work for the same group, even in the same building and are also both attending to the sellers new purchase. The transfer attorneys then sent a mail more than 1 week ago saying they need to need to request a new updated rates clearance. They did this in March also and it took them 48hr to receive. Today I get another mail saying they are not still waiting and they will lodge once they receive it. Given the timeframe and start of this whole purchase being months ago, they had enough time to plan for this. It now seems it is being deliberately delayed by the agents and TAs to keep their other customer happy. I now know that the transfer won't complete in time (plus all the public holidays) which puts me and my family in a really tough situation. I'd like an to issue a letter of demand as a first step due to the matter discussed above, thereafter potentially cancel and sue for full damages

This is on behalf of a refugee who has been here since - with renewed refugee permits every 4 years. As of , Home Affairs stopped cooperating with regards to giving an updated permit. There is currently a standing application with the Standing Committee for permanent residence as the refugee has established a full on life here despite being born in the DRC. They have no life left for them there as they arrived here at the age of 4. I need a quote on what it would take to finalise the process with the standing committee
