*** Clientele Abuse, 1021 calls in 2 years and Violation of POPIA

May I please urge everyone not to give Clientele Legal your contacts for whatever reason guys, you will be harassed for the rest of your life - I am more worried if it's them harrasing us while they know the implications of POPIA. I had an account with them and closed it due to incompetence, I gave them consent to call me provided my account is active with them and since I closed the account 2 years back I have received atleast 1021 calls from them somehow violating my privacy as I have not given them consent to call me, my business witch them is over and this is my last reminder from them. If I get one more call I will lodge a formal complaint WRT violation of my rights. They consistently call me with different numbers including the ***.

Hi Maria, I am also engaged my lawyers to sue your company for harrassment as this is a serious violation of privacy and harrassment, today alone in the past 2 hours I have received 21 missed calls from the same number - blocked or not blocked its messing up with my connections so I am suing your company for this harrassment and you will produce evidence of when did I give you consent or your partners to call me. This level of harrassment cannot be tolerated by any South African!

I must make it clear to you that I owe you guys nothing and you cannot force and impose your marketing on me and force me to take your product, I might have been a good customer previously but it gives you no right to violate and harrass me to this level especially that I gave you no consent to market to me or call me!
