Bikelife finance

Hi people of the hub. I did the unthinkable two years ago by buying a bike through Bikelife, now I want to make sure when my contract with them is finished but for the last few months I didn't get any response from my e-mails to them and neither can I get hold of them when trying to phone them. Does anyone have an idea of how or whom I need to contact or anyone who has any info will be helpful.

 

Thank you

BSG

Dont pay. They'll contact you

Yea I was thinking of putting a stop order from the end of July because I think that is when my contract finishes.

try contacting Gen (gen@bikelife.co.za) or Devlin, their MD (Devlin Fogg <Devlin@bikelife.co.za>)

 

I normally get a reply from Gen quite fast though.

 

On a side note, would you finance again?

Not necessarily through them, but I see cyclelab have partnered with Wesbank now.

Send them a formal complaint. If they don't respond, send it to the ombud - they'll respond quickly enough then. As an FSP not responding to clients is simply not acceptable.

Good questions. I've been toying with the idea of bike finance when I finally buy a mtb at the end of the year. Toying with credit options in combi with savings for it. I'd like to hear more experiences.

I am getting an error on the gen email?

 This.

 

And I know we all love bicycles, but really guys, if you cant buy it cash, that means you cant afford it. Rather save a couple of thousand per month and buy your bike cash after a year or two, zero interest. In fact you can put it in a savings account and actually gain interest.

What has happened to your signed contract? Surely you should have a copy of it somewhere with all the info you need?
