Devastated and Frustrated over rediculous T&Cs

Last month i was offered a settlement amount to settle my ACKERMANS account and the money they offered to me over the phone was different from the amount they sent to me via text with their banking details(the quote over the phone was less)... but i paid it anyways and was R1.91 short on the settlement and they said i am still owing so on Monday the 30th of August i paid R5... now they say i still owe R500 because the settlement was not paid at the same time and they have terms and conditions that change every time i call them which were not mentioned the first time i spoke to them... when i called in and asked to speak to a manager i was told that the manager is not available and a call back will be arranged my phone rang twice and call ended so i could not even answer that call and i keep on getting calls from them and texts asking me to make arrangements with them... i asked them to listen to the first call recording but clearly they have not and i have sent them emails asking for a paid up letter and theres no reply so i assume its because they say i still owe them............... i want them to listen to the first call recording and send a copy to me because i am not paying that R500.... then reverse the money i have paid them i will pay them which ever money i can afford because clearly the settlement was a bad idea....

Good day Usiphe N

We trust you are well.

Our team have investigated your matter and we advise that a discounted settlement was offered you on 04.08.2021, to be paid by 31.08.2021.  An automatic sms indicating the exact discounted settlement offered was also directed to you on the above date.

Unfortunately due to the short payment done by 27.08.2021, the system did not recognize the discount, therefore the system did not automatically process the write off of the discounted portion offered to you.  The team did however advise you to pay the difference of the discounted figure offered before 31.08.2021 which you did in fact do.

We will arrange for a manual write off to be processed in order for you to obtain the paid - up letter.

Our team will be keeping in contact with you offline and arrange the above.  Apologies for the confusion.

Best Regards
The Easton Berry Collections Team

Good day Usiphe

Thanks for informing us of the above.

We confirm the account is indeed settled in full as per the letter you received on 21.09.2021.  Our Admin Team is urgently looking into what would have triggered the call from the agent and will keep you posted.

An email has also been sent to you offline to keep you in the loop.

Kind Regards
