Poor Service and Credit Reporting Issues

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service provided by Easton-Berry Collections concerning my Mr. Price account, which was transferred to your company. I wish to highlight serious issues that have adversely affected my credit profile and overall well-being. On 25 February 2025, I fully settled my outstanding account with Mr. Price. Following this payment, I received a paid-up letter from Easton-Berry Collections as confirmation of the settlement. However, despite the full payment and the paid-up letter, my credit report continues to show negative listings attributed to Mr. Price. I have been informed by Mr. Price that they have not received the necessary confirmation or payment from Easton-Berry Collections, and as a result, my account status has not been updated with the credit bureaus. This situation is extremely concerning as these ongoing listings have a direct impact on my credit score and financial reputation. The lack of communication between Easton-Berry Collections and Mr. Price is causing undue stress and affecting my well-being. I respectfully request the following actions be taken immediately: 1. A full review of my account and payment details. 2. Prompt communication with Mr. Price to confirm receipt of payment. 3. Immediate correction of any inaccurate credit listings with the relevant credit bureaus. 4. A detailed explanation of the steps you will take to resolve this matter and prevent similar issues in the future.

 Good day Malesego,  Thank you for affording us the opportunity to assist. We are pleased to advise our investigation is complete.Please note the account has been updated to paid-up and closed on our system since 12 March 2025. We acknowledge your complaint and confirm payment was paid over to Mr Price head office accordingly.  In respect of your credit profile, we advise that credit bureau status updates are sent to the credit bureau by the Credit Provider. Kindly note this usually takes 21 to 30 working days to be complete.In light of the above, you are encouraged to allow the time frame to lapse before checking your credit profile.  Further note ‘ClearScore’ is not a valid credit bureau platform hence we do not recommend you checking your credit profile health on this platform. We have provided valid credit bureau details to you over email and advise you may check your credit profile with one of those bureaus once the time frame has lapsed.


Kind Regards
