No Assistance

So I was not able to pay my Truworths account for few months, then it got handed over to Blakes and Associates. I have been harassed with e-mails about payment arrangements and a debit order. On the 2nd Jan I sent a message to ********** to advise them that as from the end of the month I will pay R1, 000.00 on a monthly basis until I bring the account up to date. I got a reply asking me about the date yet I stated the date that I will start paying the account at the end of the month. I rep**** again on the 25th still confirming my arrangement but still this did not stop the harassment from Blakes about the arrears, no one has actually noted the arrangement except that they are worried about the date. I paid R850 on the 29th and sent the proof of payment and stated that I will be paying between R850 – R1, 500. I will not pay less than R850.00 but today I have received an sms about the arrears and the R850.00 payment has not been acknowledged.

How do I resolve this and get the arrangement to be noted on system?

Thank you for your post and affording us the opportunity to respond.

We acknowledge your frustration regarding communications about the status of your Truworths account. However, when customers do not meet their payment commitments, additional charges are incurred. As a preventative measure various forms of communications are generated as a reminder to bring your account up to date and ensure your credit record remains in good standard.
