aaa looks like they got sued https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/consumer-live/2019-09-23-hope-for-alleged-victims-as-class-action-launched-against-online-loan-company/ That would explain why there adverts stop showing. pity it was incredibly staffing draining there Google Adword Accounts

Well at the end they blacklisted me with TransUnion which is a credit bureau of some sort. I took the opportunity to learn what this implies. There are multiple levels of "Blacklisting" and only the ones where you are found guilty by a court of law should concern you. And in that case the blacklisting will be the least of your worries. I filed a dispute with TU and send them the required documents( Affidavit, ID and dispute forum). My argument was that I never signed a debit order. TU gave them a grace period to provide the required documents. Obviously they could not nor too my knowledge did they respond and the entry on my credit records where removed. I never paid.

I stupidly typed it in on the application forum. I retrospect I should have scrolled down to the t&C and searched the 10-page document to find the section about costing. That is how their role. They know people don't do that

sure. They will if it was just me from one PC. Not if I use all 7 PC i can team view into and use 3 different browsers once every 3 -5 days. That is why I encourage everyone to do it when they get time. R30x 5 clicks x 10 people = R1500 wasted. do that 3 times a month and it counts up fast. Most people have a phone that can browse and a PC. So the more people that does this the more it will cut into their Adwords budget.

My story is the same as most of the victims from Lifestyle Legal: Last year December I went online to compare loans. Their google advert lead me to believe they will provide quotes(Same as Hippo.co.za). So I clicked on the advert and went to their site. I Applied online with no cost indicated on the page. I did not read the T&C, Big Mistake!!! I got an email with an application forum which was too much hassle to complete so I did not. A few months later I noticed they were deducting money from my bank account. I contacted them and realised what was going on. I did not sign any debit order but yet they got enough information to request a debit order. I went to the bank and reversed the last few months. Later I started getting email letters of demands. They threatened to blacklist me. Well, Lifestyle Legal Go to hell! I would rather be blacklisted than pay you. So now every time they contact me I go on google and search for their adverts. My google Adwords keyword planner shows that their adverts will cost on average R30, between R10-R100 for each click. I use the keywords "Loans Africa, Loans bad, Loans blacklist" Join me and click on their adverts as well. Make sure you click on the green flag result.

Well on the upside CS will have some good looking bikes for sale at very very good prices. Anyone been there yet?

Only if Cycle Science said sorry in the beginning and gave the refund. All this would have gone unnoticed.

Winter is fast approaching and as a cyclist the time before and after work is shrinking. A good cyclist knows that the pain of getting off the saddle is worst than staying on. There is no other option other than getting equipment that would allow you to safely extend your ride time in to the twilight zone and beyond. Welcome to the exciting world of night cycling. http://www.extremelights.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2014/02/MTB-Bicycle-Night-Light-1024x404.jpg The following article explains more about the different technologies that addresses the requirements for various cycling stiles. Read the full article: "Best Bicycle Light- Which LED and Which battery? LED’s and Battery technology have improved dramatically over the last few years. Notably the most has been the battery technology. Even though it is very hard to see from casual inspection which is a good or bad battery pack. It is worth investing in quality. A good battery pack can dramatically extend the runtime and life time of the light. It can also reduce the overall weight and improve the reliability. The cyclist needs to decide which type of cycling they do most and buy equipment that is best suited to address their needs. This article hopes to provide more information to allow you to make an informed choice.

I always ride with a helmet mounted light. A good single LED light works great. Single LED lights have both side spill and hot spot. The sharper the hot spot the better. It extends your visible distances. It is better to have a wide beam/flood on your handle bar. It should be between equal or 2x of the headlight not more. If the differences is to big in brightness then your eyes adjust to the brightens of the combined lights but when you turn in the switch back you can't see much because the helmet light is to week. In other words you are blinded by your own lights. I like the Extreme1200 it has 900 Real lumen for 4h and comes with a head band and tail light. The Extreme1400 is the upgrade of the 1200. It weights about the same and produces 1100 lumen for over 7h. Both comes with head bands that works for both the helmet and the head. The Extreme 1000 is an integrated version of the 1200. The mount works well with helmet also http://extremelights.gocommerce.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2014/02/Brackenfell-20120816-00073.jpg
