The MOST UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY EVER!!!!! THEIR STAFF THREATEN CONSUMERS VIA WHATSAPP

I made a loan with this company and due to unforseen circumstances, I was unable to pay the loan at the end of September. I am awaiting some funds and was about make an arrangement to pay at theend of October. Then I received whatsapp messages from a staff member who threatened me with authorities and as if that wa snot enough, a snippet from their computer with my oicture on it, was hand delivered to my address and given to a family member, then my family member was told that I had taken a loan and did not pay it and if I don't pay, I will be locked up. Nr 1, Do you know anything about POPI ACT? 2, When we as consumers take loans from Barko, do we take these loans from your employees, since i was threatened via whatsapp from an employee. I have repoted this matter to the Ombudsman
