TeledialCom - Laflar Collections

Hi all

I am an attorney who recently dealt with Teledialkom. I am not going to repeat what the other people posted on this thread as the consensus seems to be the same - the people operating the "so-called" company are ********s.

You may report them to the Council for Debt Collectors, Consumer Ombudsman, Consumer Tribunal, National Credit Regulator and SARS.

They have no valid company registration number, nor do the cellphone numbers provided by them correspond with the names of persons supp**** by them - I ascertained this after having done a search on the available information provided by them.

I cannot disclose the steps I have taken, however, rest assured the worst these guys can do is to "spam" you with e-mails and telephone calls. They will threaten to institute legal action against you - let them do so.

My suggestion is to block their numbers on your phone as far as you are able to do so and to take steps to no longer receive communication from them on your e-mail browser - on outlook you can do this by selecting "Ignore" - their e-mails will, thereafter, be automatically moved to your spam folder.

Their modus operandi is in gross violation of, at the very least, the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act.

No court of law will uphold any action instituted by them - what I am trying to say is the probability that these people will actually go so far to issue summons against you is extremely low.

Do not make any payments to these people under any circumstances and ignore them as far as possible.

You may also receive correspondence from a company called "Laflar Collections" - they will state that they have sent you a "formal demand" - regardless of whether this so-called demand comes in e-mail or letter format my advice remains the same - just ignore them.
