Total bull!

<p>In 2011, (REGRETTABLY) I remember registering with an institution called intec college as I was looking into studying while working, by then I wasn't as clued up in options to opt for as I was late for registration with uj. I started having issues with the institution two months later as they had already started deducting money from my then 'surety'. I started calling the institution, because my study material was not delivered, mind u they had the nerve to tell me that I have to track the study material myself. I refused to be bothered by their lack of interest in me getting an education or them delivering proper quality education to me by then. Nevertheless, I later went on to cancel my contract with them, worry not, they weren't even shaken by that. I was later assigned some agent in cape town vusi or something to that sound like name. I am definitely sure that, that gentleman left the company after seeing how pathetic the institute or company IS. He sent me forms to fill in and I did that, till today, I never received feed back. I had previously reported this matter before but they never made the effort to attend my request or query. Late or mid last year 2015, I received a letter from a company called NCIS. The letter reads:</p> <p> </p> <p>"Letter of demand</p> <p>You are hereby informed that payment must be made within 28 days in respect of your overdue INTEC College ***.36</p> <p>This claim is made up in respect of a capital balance outstanding, plus interest and the applicable debt collection costs. The claim in this regard has been handed over by INTEC College to New Integrated Credit Solution (pty) Ltd. New Integrated Credit Solutions (pty) Ltd reserves the right to collect this outstanding amount on behalf of INTEC College." </p> <p> </p> <p>Maybe I am ******** of important key words here that clearly stipulate that the collections company assigned will then start adding their own interests and so forth thereafter the stipulated amount failure to me making arrangements or settling the account. I went on to contact the collections company spoke to Leticia who went on to claim they have the right to add on interests etc. I went on to ask when last did they ever try to get a hold of me or even trace me or anything to that effect, she boldly said "last year(2015)". </p> <p> </p> <p>This is just pure bull.. the only amount I am willing to settle is the amount the account was handed over with, the rest they will have to sort out themselves as they now claimed I owe R10000.00 and some odd change. </p> <p>Anyone with some legal insight please share some light!</p>
