Utterly Disappointment
Since they took over my 3 accounts I have settled 2 and the other a Game account I paid monthly installments. Every month I would go to Game Tygervalley and request an balance slip, then make my payment accordingly. 30 September 2025 I did exactly as all the other months, the balance slip showed R0.00 balance. Then I contacted CONSUMER FRIEND now only to hear no the account is not settled yet. According to them the store balance is considered null and void. But in all this time they did not once asked me to make payment, nor did Game tell me not to pay them but to pay Consumer Friend. They do not help clients they ruin you completely as you never stop paying.

03 Oct 2025, 14:32Dear Theresa Please note that at the start of your debt review process, our office received a Form 17.1 application from Debt Out Debt Counsellors, who are authorised to manage the process on your behalf. Following this, the accounts were flagged for debt review. Specifically, the RCS Game account was blocked and interest frozen on RCS’s system from the date of activation. As we are mandated by RCS to manage the account, we apply the interest and recover payments in line with the debt review concession. (This means whatever interest and instalments were negotiated between our offices and your Debt Counsellor.) All balances and interest arrangements are communicated directly to your debt counsellor, who in turn should communicate with you. The DC is aware that the agreed interest rate on our system is 7.70% from the date the concession was granted. The store-level balance, which reflects no interest due to the freeze on their system, is not applicable. Had there be no debt review application in place, no freeze would occur and the full contractual interest of 19.50% would have app****. For accurate balances, please refer only to our office. We are aware that payments have been made at store level; these are forwarded to us by RCS and captured accordingly. However, the account is not yet settled in full. Once the outstanding balance is paid, we will be happy to issue a paid-up letter. A statement has been issued to you to view payments received and how interest is app****. Kind regards
