South African Accounting Academy
It covers the period April 2020 to June 2020.
This 8-page newsletter contains some interesting Case Studies from the CGSO’s (Consumer Goods and Services Ombud) Lockdown Files. The overwhelming number of complaints received during the quarter related to cancellations as a result of lockdown. Many of these were referred to the Tourism Complaints Officer, as they fell outside the CGSO’s jurisdiction.
Below are some of the cases the CGSO successfully helped to resolve during the quarter:
Airline Refunds Pensioner R2 255
Travel Agency Refunds R26 000 out of R28 000 Paid for a Trip to Thailand
Travel Agency Refunds R38 000 for a school trip
Restaurant Refunds R2 500 Deposit for Cancelled Party
