Request for reduced and reasonable settlement amount denied
I have defaulted on a credit agreement and have been “handed over” by my credit provider (Capitec) to Symington & De Kok debt collectors. I have every reason to believe that Symington & De Kok charged me a fee of more than the capital amount of my debt and I therefore cannot afford such. I would therefore like to know how debt collectors’ fees are regulated, as what is being requested from me feels like day light ******* and I really cannot afford such. I am in a position where I want to lodge a complaint with the Council for Debt Collectors if my plea for a reduced settlement is not entertained. I am currently in a position to pay a settlement amount of NOT MORE THAN R20 000.00

27 Mar 2019, 10:22Not satisfied with the manner in which my grievance is being dealt with. I get the feeling there is no sense of willingness to reach an amicable solution in the midst of being remorseful. This is totally frustrating. My argument is that surely a discount can be offered as such was previously done. If not then this debt will never be settled and it will eventually prescribed or expiry with years as per relevant legislation. And if this is your ideal solution,you should kindly note that Iam willing to play along. I received an e-mail from Marike Bridge who is assisting with this matter is on the other hand very rude and gives no regard to my current financial situation forgetting that the debt in actual fact recklessly landed.
