SABC Automated Debt Collectors *****

An Automated call came through to me this morning and said they represent the SABC and that my outstanding tv licence had been handed over for debt collection, then put me through to a debt collection agent.<br> He started asking Me for information, I think debt collectors should at least know who they are collecting debt from. <br> I told them Im not giving any information over the phone and they can send someone to me in person. If I understand it correctly they have to send someone with an actual hard copy of a summons/notice that you have to sign for before the debt collection process can legally start . (Not Sure)<br> <br> PS. I've Never owned a TV, I've never given any of my information to the SABC so I think they are just cold calling people or it might be a **** and people should be warned. I also see on the internet I'm not the only one.<br> <br> They Called me from *** (before 8.00 in the morning)<br> [URL Removed] (site I found)<br> ***** :wrongful or ******** deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

On collection was told that car did require new battery but the one they had in stock had a default with it and I should come back on Monday to have a new one fitted. Confirmed that I would come first thing Monday morning with the sales consultant, Minette which she confirmed. Arrived on Monday and battery was not available -told they would call me when they had sourced -would be that week. <br> <br> Called a week later, spoke to Minette again who said it would be available the next day. She has obviously only heard about \over promising; Robert Dander; who took my number and said he'd call me back. That was on 3 February;I'm still waiting.<br> <br> Subsequently contacted head office who transferred me to a Customer Service Consultant - Thomas - who said would take it up with the dealership. I've yet to hear back from him or the dealership.<br> <br> Car went in for service on 23 January.<br> <br> Pathetic customer service on all levels. """
