Exceptionally poor management of account, questioning *****

About 9 months ago my account was handed over by Std Bank to Brooks Luyt to manage payments. Each month I receive phone calls to say if I default I will be blacklisted for 5 years only to find out now that the R16050 paid to date only reflects as R7500 on their system. R9000 missing? Two more payments made to Brooks Luyt was not even paid to Standard Bank which of course place my credit rating at a poor score which is impacting me now in a very negative way. After numerous calls to Brooks Luyt asking for an explanation on the missing money, I am yet to hear back from anyone senior that can actually make an informed decision and assessment on where the problem seems to be. I have sought legal assistance. Considering Brooks Luyt are failing to provide any answers as to the missing funds I can only come to the conclusion that this may be *****? By a legal firm? What is my next option here without having my rating and record impacted worse? Ombudsman? Any advice on how I can deal with the matter and have this resolved?

Reviewer Update
As expected - an automated response to the complaint. If you review the other complains the same feedback has been used. This makes it seems to the public eye that Brooks Luyt attends to complaints which are clearly not the case. I have not received any other feedback from your office for over a week now so I do not see how this response will make a difference. But as stated, I have sought legal advice and requested an investigation. I have also lodged this with the Ombudsman.
