An independant distributor of the above company came to my mothers house and explained that they were in the area to investigate the situation around incorrect electricity bills. I then invited him in the house but explained that I had an appointment in half an hour to go to but he said it would only take a few minutes. After a very long explanation (which I did not understand half of), he made me believe that he had the answer to our high electricity bills. He wanted me to sign a contract so they can install this "super" gadget that will save us a lot of money. I then told him that I was married in community of property and that I cannot sign any contracts without the consent of my husband. He then gave me the assurance that he would not submit the document if my husband does not give his consent. He also made me pay R750 in cash (to insure that I could get the item at a special rate). I had to phone him that evening to confirm or cancell. Only after he left I realised that the only number on the document was that of the company in Cape Town and not his personal number. My husband was furious when he heard that I signed a contract without his consent and that I paid R750 to a total stranger. I phoned the company office in Cape Town the next morning and spoke to a Mrs Clark. She told me that I should cancell lthe contract in writing. I wrote the letter to cancell on the 10th June 2011 wherein I demanded them to pay my R750 back in my account.
Unfortunately they haven't paid my money back or even replied that the contract has in fact been cancelled.
Please help me as I feel they have tricked me into signing a contract that I shouldn't have.
