Frustration and Disappointment

<p>In 2013 I went under debt review. When this didn't work out I was handed over to collection attorneys selected by Standard Bank. I began paying 500 a month. My account changed hands with 2 or 3 different attorneys and every time new attorney charges get added on. Eventually about 2 years ago it kind of settled with the one attorney and I was paying 1000 monthly. I had three standard bank accounts in a similar situation. This year I had closed two of the three accounts. The one outstanding account would have been settled next year and I was so looking forward to being debt free. In November I made my 1000 payment only to be called by another collection group who now want to make an arrangement with me. I refuse because I know once again fees will be added on and the capital debt will become an exorbitant figure. I follow up with an email and a call to Standard Bank only to be told that the debt has been sold to Nimble and I must make arrangements with them. Standard Bank will only say that my period to pay off the amount has expired and they are not responsible. I can't even refuse to pay the loan because I will be blacklisted. It is a vicious cycle and for someone like me that tries so hard to make things right, Standard Bank has decided to take the high handed approach.</p>
