Unfair account handover

<p>I went to see a Doctor at the Glenfair, Pretoria branch on the 11th of November 2014. My medical aid failed to cover the full consultation fee. More than 7 months later, I received a call from Schulenburg Attorneys informing me that my account had been handed over due to non payment.</p> <p> </p> <p>What account?? what debt?? I never received a statement or a notification or a call to inform me of outstanding debt or that my account will be handed over for debt collection.</p> <p> </p> <p>I contacted Jana Lombard and Mario Jacobs about this issue. I was promptly sent an invoice and I paid.</p> <p> </p> <p>Today is the 12th of December of 2016 and I received another call from Schulenburg Attorneys informing me of an inflated amount due to them.</p> <p> </p> <p>Strangely, it seems that the provisions in the National Credit Act Section 129 does not apply to Intercare and Schulenburg Attorneys?</p> <p>This act states that you must be notified when you are in default. Neither my Medical Aid, nor Intercare notified me before the account was handed over.</p>
