Dear Member,

Important information for your business

This newsletter is again jampacked with important and relevant information to your business.

We investigate why a dealer was fined R100 000.00 by the National Consumer Tribunal (NCT), SuperSpark advises that you should go back on your bank statements, and we look at a recent ruling from the NCR.

We also have pleasure in welcoming all WesBank InspectaCar Dealer Owners, Dealer Principals, FAIS representatives and Sales/Admin staff.

This is after a recent agreement between WesBank InspectaCar and Lightstone Risk Management whereby all the InspectaCar Dealers will utilise IDA services, such as LRM FSP, IDA (CPA Mediation, second-hand Goods) and Lightstone Auto (Signio).

We will be contacting you during the next month to have the transfers affected to FSP 46344 and IDA.

Pictured at the signing were Robbie Starke (left), Pertunia Sibanyone and Bathandwa Mbovane.

We are looking forward to being at your service.

All the best,

Robbie Starke
General Manager: IDA
