Paid medical account still pursued by Blake Collections after proof and dispute

I am experiencing ongoing collection contact from Blake Collections regarding a medical account with ER Consulting that has already been paid.

Timeline:

Payment made: 3 Dec 2025

Proof of payment sent to ER Consulting: 3 & 4 Dec 2025

Proof provided in person at Anncron: 22 Dec 2025

Collection contact from Blake Collections began: Feb 2026

Formal dispute sent with proof attached

Matter referred to the Council of Debt (Blake & ER Consulting copied)

Despite this, I have received multiple calls from Blake Collections, including silent/abandoned calls.

This is causing ongoing distress and time disruption despite the account being settled and formally disputed.

I request:

Written confirmation the account is settled

Immediate cessation of all collection contact

Correction of records with ER Consulting and Blake Collections

All proof of payment and correspondence is available.

Dear Mr van der Westhuizen,

We hope you are well.

Please be advised that we do not use Blake Collections for handed over accounts.

We have checked your account with us, and it was never handed over. It has been settled in full.

Kind Regards

They dont use you guys. EXTREMELY Interesting.

So far, no email.
Still waiting. Also. The anncron Hospital is under ER Consultants as they are the owners of it.
I have spoken to Anncron and ER Consultants. ER Consultants are the ONLY ones who bills. So there are NO other bills.
There is no email in my Inbox or Junkmail.

What is also strange now is that you said... oh it is not ER Consulting.... though... I got the ER Consulting from Blake associates that phoned. You guys explicitly said you are collecting debt for ER consultants and YOU gave the amount of R1080.
Then ER consultants rep**** they dont even use you... and now suddenly it is rhe hospital who IS ER Consulting.
Also miracoulusly your emails are not coming through ever since I asked you to work only through emails.
