Blake & Associates / Telkom

I signed up for a "FREE ME" contract with Telkom for R100 per month for 24 months due to the fact that my grand children has Telkom phones and as a pensioner it was a good deal. Shortly thereafter I received a call from Blake & Associates claiming that they are phoning on behalf of Telkom and I owe them R2000 for a data contract. I said to the lady that I never had a data contract with any company but will find out from Telkom what is going on. At Telkom I was told that I only have the "Free Me" contract and owe nothing. She explained that Telkom does not make use of Blake & associates as a debt collecting company. Blake & Associates phoned again and I informed them of the situation. they asked me to confirm my ID on which I refused but gave them my date of birth. I was then told that it is wrong. I gave them my email address and requested a statement so that I can take it up with Telkom. The statement was for MR AW Bosch staying in Rustenburg. I am staying in Edenvale for the pass 20 years. I have sent numerous emails trying to explain and resolve the situation but with no luck. Since then I have been harassed by this company. I have requested them to summons me so that I can proof that I am not the person they are looking for. For two years they did not summons me. They keep phoning me and are very rude. When I try to explain the situation, and asked them their business address, they put the phone down in my ear. I will seek legal advise and find out where I can File a complaint against Blake & Associates.

Telkom wrongfully gave my contact details to Blake & Associates without my consent, due to this bridge of confidentiality, and the fact that I have been harassed by Blake & Associates, have cancelled my contract with Telkom and will never use or recommend Telkom as a service provider again.
