dissapointed again

<p>In 2014 i signed up with Debt Quest. I had been under Debt review before but with a shady agent who pocketed the clients money. After that I didnt trust debt review agents but struggled with my debt and after reading debt Quest pamphlet i build up the nerve to try them. I grilled the agent and felt satisfied to trust my debt with them. I payed R1500 per month without fail and by December 2016 my debt had been paid up. I have been working in a factory for a fraction of what I used to earn as a retail manager since 2014 . I was happy that with my name cleared on ITc I would now be able to apply for work in the retail industry again. unfortunately Debt Quest could not clear my name because there was still a debt owing. Apparently there was one client who refused their proposal in 2014 and now my name cant be cleared. i recieved a monthly statement of my payments but the names on the statment refered to debt collecting agencies and I trusted my Agent when she said all my debt was covered with this one payement. Zanende and Joy are the ladies that found the descrepancy because my original agent had left the company. I have been struggling to get a clear idea of exactly what process will be followed to clear my name. My callls usually end with a heartfelt promise that they will call me with feedback in a day or 2 but then i think i am forgotten. they were happy to take my aftercare fees every month but now when they need to complete our contract they are dragging their heels and leaving me to beg for some news on this problem. </p>

Reviewer Update
Good Day I recieved a call from Joy today because of another client that had seen my post. Firstly I want to make it clear that the 1st shady agent who ran off with my money had absolutely no link to Debt Quest and was from a total different company who has since closed down after the agent was arrested. The above complaint is still a sore point as was set to be employed by a prominent Retail company but was passed over because I was not credit clear. Unfortunately even after my debt was cleared the said retail company never granted me a interview again. All this being said Joy was the solution to my problems. The reality is that the agent who originally helped me had done a halfmast job on my debt review. Unfortunately my original agent at Debt Quest who to my understanding left the company did not keep good records of my case and Joy was unaware of the descrepancy which held up my credit clearance. I can confirm that this matter was resolved only thanks to all the work Joy did. not sure how the commision system works but i am sure the original agent got all the commision and left Joy to clean up the mess. As distressing as the whole ordeal was... in the end Joy went above and beyond even being a ear for my frustrations. I have since always reffered my friends and family to Joy consider going to joy if they are in financial trouble. Thank you Joy and Team.
