Van De Venter & Mojapelo - Unaccpetable commision and collections fees charged

<p>My mom has a Ackermans account. She fell ill and was hospitilazed for over 9 months and was subsequently diagnosed with horrible disease. I took over her finances but was not totally aware of all her accounts ect. I received an sms for the above attorneys as well as a call wrt the outstanding account ablance. After some investigion I realized that she did indeed opened susch an account. According to the first sms and call I received on 24/02/2017 the outstanding anount due was R1631.02, an arrangement was made to pay this in 2 installments of R816.02. This was confirmed in an sms received the same day. Payment of R816.02 was made on 02/03/2017. On 28/03/2017 I received an sms stating that the outstanding amount due is R1053.00 and when I called to query why this is so high, they stated commision fees. On 30/03/2017 I received another sms stating the outstanding amount is R1056.17. When I called them this morning to request a statement with a breakdown, it showed the outstanding amount totalled to R1082.21. It reveals that a total of R267.21 was added as commision and collection wees on an overdue account of R1631.02. Is this not pure day light *******? How in life should one be able to settle and pay off your debt if they just jeep on adding ridicilous amounts on top of that? My mom is very ill and is financially dependant on me, I am not willing to pay ATTORNEYS - who should act in good faith such ******** fees. Please can you advise if by law these fees can be added?</p>
