Worse off than before

Good evening

I'm looking for advice. I app**** through one debt a debt counseling company in October 2019 they gave me a quote of R7000 a month to distribute. Three months down the line after I had paid the first three months in fees they said that it would need to go up to R8000 some change. I asked how if they had quoted me R7000. So aparently Westbank declined their offer not sure what that means they didn't explain to me the consequences if I didn't pay the increased price. In January this year I had Westbank arrive at my work to reposes my viehcle I immediately got hold of Westbank and aparently the agreement between one debt and Westbank had fallen away and I was R21000 in arrears. All news too me I got hold of Nosicelo at one debt she tried to sort it out but failed. I came to an agreement with Westbank to pay it off and catch it up. Nosicelo from one debt advised me that I shouldn't pay them the R7000 a month I should catch up on my viehcle installments. She advised me that if I get any demands or corospondence from the other company's I owed money I should forward it too her too sort out. I advised her that it should take about three months to sort out the viehcle. Then lock down came along I got put on short time my ex who me I have two kids with which live with me lost her job and have been sitting without maintenance since. I finally managed too catch up my van now I have all the other debtors sending me final demands phoning me daily. I forwarded all the info along as one debt has charged me a fee to sort this out it has been almost three weeks to no avail. In the beginning the said they were going to get a reduction in my interest rates too which I'm still waiting on. I have sent nomourous email and phone calls and I'm still sitting in the dark. Lack of communication on their side poor service all round and almost a year later I am worse off than when I started with them and a whole lot of attorneys harassing me for payment, payment plans ect. I have no clue on financial law and the things that need to get this fixed. As far as I'm concerned one debt has not supp**** me with the services they told me I was gonna get reduction in interest rates no harrasing phone calls from banks attorneys, lesser monthly payments like I said I'm worse of now than when I began with them. If you could just advise what is the next step that I should take or is there any way you could help.

Regards.
