Barko send ****s to my house intimidate me

I took a loan in November at Steeledale. During the 1st week on December my team and I were advised that our contracts ended with immediate effect from our American client. I called the call centre and advised a man named Thabo that I cannot pay and wanted to make a payment arrangements. I was told that I would receive a call to make the arrangements. I didn't receive any call. Today my neighbour advised me that someone from Barko came to the house while I was out and shouted to the whole street that I owed Barko money and was not answering my phone. Is this how Barko does dealings? Sending ****s to come and embarrass customers? I have been to SAPS to open a case and want to know who it was that came to my house acting like the Mafia to look for me. I will make sure that all my social media pages know about how Barko does their dealings. For a financial institution to act above the law is beyond me. What happened to sending letters of demand, emails, sms? Also the agent who assisted me has been hounding me via WhatsApp to help her find a job because when I app**** and they did the employment check they confirmed that I was indeed a team leader. I find this completely unprofessional and will take this matter further.

Hi Lititia,

After several attempts to contact you and resolve your complaint, you have not responded to us.

Note that prior to the complaint, several attempts were made to contact you in order to make payment arrangements, but you were not responding. 

Additionally, had you settled the outstanding loan or made arrangements to pay, the complaint would not have surfaced.

Kindly make contact with us, so we can set up a payment arrangement to get the issue resolved.
