Credit Rescue - an Unsolicited Call
Credit Rescue contacted me this morning with an unsolicited enquiry to have my Credit Record reviewed at "No cost to me". I have the following problems with this: 1. How did they get my mobile number? The POPI Act forbids Vodacom [or any other service provider to sell/share my details! 2. The offer was stated as at "no cost", it turns out "one instalment" has to be paid to Credit Rescue. 3. They commit to contact the NCR "on my behalf" to negotiate a possible reduction of 50% in any instalment from any Credit Supplier, how can this be legal, or make any commercial sense with existing Agreements/Contracts in place?
