PW Plumbing CC - TERRIBLE service and misuse of monies by Rayno Beyers, PW plumbing

Rayno Beyers from PW plumbing was sent via an insurance claim to repair a leaking geyser. His brother, 17 year old Michael, has supposedly been working with him for years, but has not got a qualification yet, he did all the work. He installed a new geyser, but only later when I moved the furniture I noticed that the pipe against the wall was jutting out at an odd angle. Rayno had meanwhile convinced me to pay him for a solar water setup which also required them to paint the roof, I paid over R11 100 to buy all the parts. Then the excuses began, first it was supposed exposure to covid. One has sympathy but three weeks later he was doing other plumbing jobs, but not mine. Then it was apparently a blown head gasket on his vehicle - which took another three weeks, again he starts doing other plumbing jobs and ignores mine. When I demanded that he come and complete my work, he refused and said he would return the parts and refund my money. Unfortunately I trusted the man, and never saw any invoices! Although I have proof of having paid him and his agreement for doing this work. It is now another month later; I am in process with the courts - he decided unilaterally to pay the money back in drips and drabs a small amount once a week. I did not agree to this, how can he take my money and use it for himself! Plus the work he did do is unfinished and not well done at all! In an effort to track him down, I discovered that apparently he is starting a new business called Cubix plumbing. BEWARE!
