Cartrack Subscription downgrade nightmare after retrechment and unemployment

Good Day,

I have an issue with downgrading my subscription, I am told I cannot without paying the downgrade fee which is R350 which I cannot afford at this stage, I explained to them that I was retrenched 6 months ago and I tried to keep up with my premium, however my savings are running at a low and I cannot afford to pay for the current subscription plus the increase of 10%, so because I don't want to cancel my subscription, I6 opted for them to downgrade my subscription but its seems like its an impossible task, and I asked them since you forcing me to pay money I don't have, what would happen to my account, and I was told I will be blacklisted which will detrimental to me as I am currently looking for another job and being Accountant, backgrounds checks are usually performed by potential employers for screening to qualify for a job, and this cannot happen as I am a single mother with no other income and having a bad credit record will be bad for my children as I won't be able to work ever again. When I took the subscription, the agent that I spoke to, said I could downgrade if I wanted to but she never said anything about being charged an extra fee for changing something I can't Pay for which for me was misleading. Our government needs to do something about these companies that take advantage of unsuspecting customers

So I am coming to you for help to know exactly how do I sort this out as honestly I do not have the money and I find companies like Cartrack to be selfish as all they want is to fill their pockets with money but they don't care how their customers pay.

These below agents I spoke to, I asked them to put me through to their legal department or someone senior but they put me on hold until the phone dropped 3 times

So you people when you reply here on Hello Peter it's all about increasing your ratings, so that when customer searches,they see you actually reply but don't even bother do any investigations, it's been over a month and no one has even bothered to give me feedback, instead this past week I have been bombarded with emails from 4 Collections agents demanding I pay R427. 00 even though I keep telling them I don't have money as I am unemployed. Am I the only client in this entire country that owes you money to be sending 4 different agents to demand money from me, don't you have other customers that owe serious money from many, many months to collect from, I only missed 1 month, one of them is even from your legal department,the same legal department I requested to be put through to make payment arrangements but the phone was dropped in my ear, you need to stop harassing me, threatening me and bullying me I told you, I am unemployed and cannot afford my subscription at this point
