verycred organisation

got an email from company called verycred telling me about owing monies that i have already settled mid march and got a paidup letter from the organization I owed. the lady on the other end of the line was rude to me when i explained my situation and about the line being choppy she was so rude and i tried to reason with her and she hang-up the call. the ombudsman should be aware of organizations such as these that go around harassing people and infringing on POPIA on a daily basis without any care of the laws of this land and it is unfair. i am now very angry. I am now wondering what methods and tools does this company use to employ people so they go to work and just abuse us like this.
