Terrible, clueless - best avoided.

Had to register for Jaja to pay off PO credit card balance. Made 2 payments so far, first payment went through O.K. The second payment left my account 9 days ago but haven't arrived. If you call Customers Services it is just one number and takes forever and nobody knows what to do and how to find the missing payment. They asked my to go back to my bank - the amount showing as leaving my bank account 9 days ago to Jaja Fianance but Jaja Finance are clueless. Money is still missing and showing as outstanding on my credit card. Dont know what to do. Reviewed on: 1st December 2020

Upcoming disaster

Was a loyal customer of Post Office Credit card which traded through the Bank of Ireland. Earlier this year I had a serious medical condition arise (heart) whilst abroad in Thailand, which meant an urgent return to UK. Airline (Swiss Air) charged me £1145 just to change the date of my paid for return flight. Post Office refused to reimburse this extortionate amount and did not even contact either the airline of the UK booking agent. They told me bluntly that they had decided not to pursue the matter at any level. David Chan is certainly in for a rough ride. Disgusted at such treatment, I cancelled my credit card. Today received a letter from JAVA welcoming me into their fold!!!!! No email address to contact them by (of course) so won’t even try to phone. Having now read the really awful reviews about JAVA, I am glad I’m away from both seemingly pretty useless companies. Please, everyone, be warned. Reviewed on: 26th November 2020

Had PO credit card for years,low interest and fee free overseas.This was a MasterCard and the assurance was that TC would be honoured.Having had serious issues with Barclaycard buying up credit card account,I cleared the entire P.O. card balance before the takeover. I have been able to log in the app and have a card but......I won't be using it.It's now Visa so that's a change,my interest rate has gone up (apparently they have sectioned off PO customers into different levels/areas).I read the TC on the app and it seems the fee free overseas is not a certainty. I don't know what the advantages of this card are. The app selling point has been overtaken by others and there has been no effort to try and provide reasons to have the card. The stories online are disturbing,I can't see how easy it will be for a company to recover from such negativity. I have cancelled my P.O. direct debit and not opened one for Jaja.The card is unactivated in a drawer. Reading the company background online is quite interesting. In sum I won't be using it and my very best wishes to those enmeshed in this chaos.I hope the Ombudsman will be of some help. Reviewed on: 26th November 2020

A really poor service

1
I have been a happy PO customer for many years but since the change to Jaja I have not been able to log into my account where it won't accept my credentials, the customer service is simply awful with unacceptable wait times and their telephony system keeps cutting you off. I have no confidence in this company and cannot wait to cancel my credit card if only I could get through to someone to deal with this. Why would anyone want to deal with a company that has zero customer service? Reviewed on: 25th November 2020

If i could rate them zero I would

I made a payment on jaja app and it displayed a message saying this payment has not been successful. I tried again and the payment was not taken . I logged into my current account and realised that jaja took double payment for a totals of £ 775 on 30th October. I have been in contact with your customer service team several times, and every time I was told that the extra payment would be refunded to my current account. After 20 days , no payment has been transferred. I am now £387.55 out of pocket and jaja is not taken my financial difficulties into account. The business is not behaving fairly, the communication from your customer service lack of knowledge , your staff is not trained to assist your customers, as well as long waiting time to get through an agent , the lines are extremely busy. I have been lost out financially, and you are not looking to put me back in the position I would have been if you had not taken the extra money I got to pay for my monthly living costs, this means that I am experiencing reduced living standards due to the impact that jaja business’s mistake is having on me. Your business mistake is causing financial loss and material inconvenience, as well and emotionally distress. I will definitely refer my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). This is a regulated business that shouldn’t be operating in the UK ,they are breaching the rules and committing market abuse. PLEASE AVOID IT . Reviewed on: 20th November 2020

Pity I cannot award zero stars - useless!!!!!

Existing Post Office credit card holder, required to re-register in order to use Java. Registration process falls over on PC. Works to a point on iPad. Final button to complete registration produces a message “this service is not currently available, please try again later.” Would I trust this lot with my money on this basis? Absolutely not!

Post Office or Jaja? Nobody knows!

In July 2020 we tried to pay our Post Office credit card account. We couldn't. Had to go through Jaja. "We're nearly ready to go" emails coming in. Could not access the new Jaja app. Could not get a statement from either post office or Jaja. After many lengthy phone calls still nothing. No app, no statement, no new card, no use, no where! 7th November 2020 received the statement from Jaja. Great, paid. Happy days. Oh hang on a minute, 9th November £12.00 late payment fee! More lengthy phone calls. Paid off and cancelled account. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS CREDIT CARD. You're welcome. Reviewed on: 16th November 2020
