Concerned

Good Day

I registered with NDADC for debt counselling in 2020. Everything went as planned, the debt was lowered to manageable monthly payments, and I was pleased with the agreement. Every month, without fail, I made the appropriate payment on time, and Michelle Butterworth was wonderful at giving me advice and keeping me informed of anything I needed if there was ever something I did not understand. I commend her. Hyphen Payment Distributing Agency contributed by giving me statements on the same day every month.

A statement that showed a balance of R1743.99 that was to be taken out at the end of this month, May, was sent earlier this month. I could not have been happier to be debt-free at last. To my amazement, the initial sum was taken out. When I called the operators to ask why, a woman named Charnel Letitia Collins was unable to provide me with a satisfactory explanation. Instead, she sent me a history of payment statement that did not show the balance of the outstanding debt. She also advised me to wait five working days for the distribution to be completed; if there was any unpaid money, it would be refunded to my account.

1. What assurance do I have that money will be returned to my account, I wonder? 2. Isn't the system interconnected in a way that ensures that all information delivered to customers is correct and consistent?

Kind Regards

Thandi

Someone called me earlier this morning and after taking my query transferred me to the accounts department and have been first in line according to an auto voice mail message. Still on a waiting list to be assisted for the past 25 mins and still counting. Taking into consideration that this is happening during my working hours and that is disrespectful to my employer, I wish consumers were taken seriously regarding their issues.

Good day Nomthandazo

The notes made by our agents indicate a different story to yours mam. You were called by one of our specialists who had attempted explaining to you on the 25th May 2023. As our specialist were clarifying something that you had not understood, you dropped the call. We do try our best to resolve problems and clarify any misunderstandings, however we need to be granted the opportunity to do so. We trust you understand and that you will allow us a chance to assist you accordingly.

Kind Regards
NDA Team
