Very unhappy!

<p>Good day, i recently contacted the welkom office for membership. I made an appointment to see a sales person by the name fikile. He was busy with other clients that day and a guy called vuyisele helped me. Were i was informed that there is o/s monies on an old account to the amount of R2000 and that i should contact mbd, also an amount over R400 which was due was also paid. The next day i called mbd about the R2000 and they sent me a letter that the account was paid up. The next evening i again went in. They send me away as i didnt have my sons birth certificate. The 3rd evening i finally got membership...my son and i went for less then a week and was informed that there is a problem. I contacted fikile and was told that an account that my ex husband and i had in 2007 was o/s. It was on his name and im not liable for that. Today i contacted the headoffice and was told another story again...that i owe over R3000. The prescription act stipulateds that any debt older than 3 years, that wasnt contacted for nor admission of debt was made needs to be cleared. According to the Prescription Act 68 of 1969, section 10 (1), a debt is prescribed if:</p> <p>* You have not acknowledged the debt in the past 3 consecutive years, either in writing or verbally<br />* You have not made any payment towards the outstanding amount, nor have you promised to pay<br />* The creditor has not summonsed you for this debt within 3 consecutive years.</p> <p>I want to get this sorted so my son and i can start to gym again.</p>
