Ackermans Hardship Benefits team refuse to help with Covid Relief

Hi Ackermans,

I have been communicating with you back and forth for the past 2 months, whereby I had emailed you my documents stating and proving that I am no longer working due to the lockdown. I lost my work and no longer earn an Income. I do not have money to buy food and you ignore all communication. I have been asking for some form off assistance during this time, but you have refused to assist and ignored all communication. I am unable to pay any debt if I am not earning an income. Thank you for choosing not to assist when I am unable to feed myself and my family, as you rather chose to continue billing and handed me over to Attorneys when I could not afford to pay, due to unemployment. I have brought this matter to your attention. my account number is ***

Annie Venter has tried her best to help, by escalating and forwarding all my documents proving my unemployment and my query to your Hardship Benefits Team who fail to assist or evens look at my query.

Still no help, all you have to say is this, no other options explored, being unemployed with no income at this point in my life is not helping me or you, handing me over or blacklisting me will not make money magically appear in your accounts or mine, I am struggling to find mney to buy food for my family and this is all you have to say. Shame on you Ackermans. You show no compasion or any form of willingness to assist. I was hoping you can put my account or payments on hold, until this pandemic is over and I am able to find work again. Western Cape is still in level4 lockdown, with no movement allowed, since I am not an essential worker or in an essential industry our company closed its doors and ended alot of employment, including mine, I am unemployed, I can not afford to pay you, so please stop emailing me statements with amounts I am unable to afford to pay at this time. my main concern right now is to out food on the table for my family, which I am finding hard to do in this lockdown, let alone magic some money up to pay you.
