********** practice disguised as a retail outlet

Absolutely shocking! Though looking through other reviews I shouldn't be surprised. Closed my Edgars account, at least I was led to believe it was closed, over a year ago. Now all of a sudden when applying for finance I get a call from Edgars Attorneys saying I have an unpaid amount of about R700.00. I'm like why is the account not closed? Why did they let this accrue for over a year and now only ask for payment? Why was I not contacted after 1 defaulted payment? Only response I got was "I understand so when will you make payment?"

To me its almost like some ********** tactic they're using. Keeping quiet and allowing your "closed account" to remain open and build up an amount so when you get a credit check they can attack on this. Literally black mailing you to pay this or get a negative impact/ decline on any loan application.

This is disgusting and its no wonder Edgars is in the shape they are in when they treat customers in this fashion. Even though I believed my account was closed I would still shop at Edgars but now I will never make another purchase there and I will express this to anyone I know.

This company needs a negative star rating to effectively warn potential VICTIMS! You are not a customer!
