Failure to follow up on settled accounts
In the past year of 2015 i have been receiving calls from Vericredonline regarding my Foshini account outstanding balance. During these calls the agents were advising that i could pay via Store or bank and i tried making payments via the store. However on 5 November 2015 i made a full payment of the outstanding amount at the store (Markham's) and was never told that i couldn't make the payment because my account was handed over. I than followed up an called the Foshini group which i was advised taht the account was settled and needed to apply afresh in order to activate the account. There after i started receiving calls again that i was owing the collections , however the last guy i spoke to says Foshini never informed them that the account was settled therefore there has been charges since November 2015, because i was not supposed to pay at the store. I have requested the recordings of the agents that called me in 2015 advising that i could pay through the store or bank. And the level of service for the Vericredonline to give and refuse to provide answers is disgusting.
Thank you for your report. Our client Foschini handed the overdue account over for collection to VeriCred Collections (Pty) Ltd. due to non-payment, payment to the account commenced after handover. The account can be paid either at the client or with VeriCred. Kindly note that VeriCred is registered with the Council for Debt Collectors as well as the Association of Debt Recovery Agents (ADRA). Please refer to the Council's website to see the relevant charges by a Debt Collector: 'www.cfdc.org.za' .There will naturally be charges in the debt collection process in terms of the Debt Collectors Act,114 of 1998, Annexure B which pertains to the recovery of monies. Be that as it may, the balance evident is in respect of outstanding portions on the legal collection fees and interest on the overdue amount. Kindly take cognisance of the fact that your credit profile can only be updated once the account in question is repaid in full and reflecting a 'zero' balance outstanding.
