Incompetence and ignorance

Good day all of this started about 2 to 3 years ago I had an account with truworths opened at east rand mall branch at a stage I gotten slightly behind on my premiums but always caught up fairly quickly. Reason for falling behind on premiums was I was working in Africa as a medic and sometimes so remotely that I couldnt get internet access so I made arrangements with truworths that I will pay them everytime I get back into the country or when I have access to internet to transfer funds into a friend or family members account for them to go pay it so when the contract ended and I came back to South africa I went to pay my account but being out of a job I had to work sparingly with my money and I paid until the account was upto date but not paid up their was still R 490 some odd rand to be paid but it was upto date and not behind so I wanted to buy something and they told me my account was suspended until the R490 odd was also paid I then paid it and the lady said it will take two to 3 weeks to unsuspend it 4 to 5 weeks later I wanted to use the account and I was told that its not yet open I then told them to sommer close the account as this is rediculace I paid the account finish in a reduced time and this is nonsense months later I started getting calls again that I still owe them money R490 odd I keep on telling them that I have paid that money and they keep on ask8ng for their money I have repeatedly asked them to send me proof why I owe them money I want a statement then they refuse and ask me the proof that I did pay... I do not have the slips anymore as it was months later and they refuse to send me statements to proof rhat I do owe them money and they refuse to unblock or unsuspend my account.... They stole my money and now they wa t more in themean time the have handed me iver to laywers who arrases me with 30 phone calls a day they keep on threatinging me and they have placed me on itc this is not fair as I did pay the last premium and they *****ed me out of my money and now they want me to pay more I want my account reopened and I want that R490 odd removed or credited as I did pay it under false pretences

The matter is still not resolved and is really becoming a major issue and a major concern and irritation in my life.... At my better judgment I decided to pay the last premium again just to get rid of your company and the company contracted to your company to retrieve outstanding credit... I was told the moment I made a payment agreement the pestering calls will stop well it didnt so instead of phoning me 10 times a day to ask me to pay they started phoning me 10 times a day to remind me to pay and now the shocker the company that was so hell bend to remind me to pay its now the 5th they still didnt take the money and now they are phoning 10 times a day again to ask me why I didnt pay the money is still in my account still waiting for them to take it and Im being pestered by them again 10 times a day and they are arrogant unprofessional and *********** and have no clue of the consumer law or the law or of client service.... This is unfair and it just proves my point again Truworths is *********** and their agents are *********** And I dont want anybody to go through that I have to go through on a day-to-day basis with them be cautious clients of truworths you are gone pay more than you should and they will make your life a living hell just to get what they want no matter what or how long it takes to happen
