<div>I joined DebtBusters in May this year, with the assistance of +++++, who successfully transferred my account from DebtSafe to DebtBusters. My accounts were up to date when I made the switch. ++++ informed me that my car payment would remain at R3,200—the same amount that was being paid through DebtSafe—while they negotiated with my creditors. This arrangement was also confirmed by my negotiations manager, Bongiwe, just yesterday. However, after three months of making R6,000 payments to DebtBusters, I received a statement and final demand from MFC, stating that I owe R7,600 because they have not received any payments from DebtBusters. They also warned that if this amount is not paid, they will proceed with repossessing my car. I have contacted DebtBusters multiple times to understand why my account was not paid, but I have not received any assistance. I have been repeatedly told that they are waiting for a supervisor to call me. Yesterday, I spoke with Bongiwe, who also confirmed that the account was supposed to be paid, but unfortunately, it was not. I requested the recordings of my conversations with them, but they have refused to provide them, raising concerns about their practices. Today, MFC is scheduled to collect my car, despite the fact that I have paid DebtBusters R18,000 to manage these negotiations on my behalf. I have requested a refund due to the loss of my asset, but I was informed that a refund is not possible, even though DebtBusters failed to make payments on my account for June and July 2024. Consequently, my car is being repossessed today.</div>

I am writing to formally request a refund of my payments from DebtBusters. Despite fulfilling my obligations and making payments as per our contract, DebtBusters failed to protect my assets, leading to their loss. I did not default on any payments, and yet the promises made to clients regarding asset protection were not upheld.

It is unacceptable that, instead of ensuring my creditors were paid, the funds were retained by DebtBusters. I urge you to process my refund immediately, as this is the only viable solution given the circumstances.
