Sms about 'overdue' accounts

<p>Truworths has the tendency to send you a sms evey day to remond you that you are overdue. Up to know i paid random amounts ie R400 instead of R600 until i get my formal account. When sms comes in they include the amount you have to pay with your next installment too, so instead of R200 they say that you are R800 OVERDUE. Nogal in caps. Paid R 200 AT THE STORE yesterday, and guess what my first Sms for the days says... You are R800 OVERDUE. Phone them and they apologise because it does not show on the system yet.... But i paid it at the store. I am extremely frustrated and HATE my Truworths experience at the moment. I never ship payments... Never!</p>
