Unknown Debt

This Saturday 05/03 around 12.10 pm I received a strange call (No caller ID) from Thandeka. She represented debt collectors Norman Bissett Associates. Thandeka claimed that I owe R8000 for Edgards account. I informed Thandeka that I never had Edgars account. Please note that in 2007 I had my ID book ******. The same year African Bank account was **********ly opened on my name. The matter was sorted in my favour with the help of SAPS. Thandeka confirmed that Edgards account is dated 2007. I asked her to send the details to me and gave my email address. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY DOCUMENTS. Even though someone opened this account **********ly, you can't call me 10 years later. It's a prescribed debt. I contacted my attorney. Refer to the below response:<br> 1) I deny owing any such funds to Edgars in the amount claimed;<br> 2) Further unless there are summons issued alternatively a judgment obtained against myself I submit that this claim has prescribed;<br> 3) Further unless the above can be provided please cease any contact with me;<br> 4) Should such action continue the matter will be referred to the Credit Ombudsman and to the South African Police for harassment.<br> Please investigate this matter.
