Listed for R53. card fees

<p>I had lost my woolworths account and app**** for a new card in January. The consultant told me that there will be a charge of R50 and will be debited through my account. I normally make all my purchases cash, however keep my card to get discounts. I received no statments, or phone calls from woolworths stating that I am overdue on my account. On the 25th of May I received the following sms "Mrs D Pillay, your woolworths store card has been handed over to Nationwide Recovery who will collect on behalf of wooloworths". I was totally appalled by this message. It seems that woolworths has listed me on all credit bureauxs in South Africa for R53 without even calling me or instituting legal action first. Surely woolworths being such a huge retail outlet is more knownledgable of the the South African National credit Act and the process of to be followed when no payment is received. I will like full feedback from woolworths on this matter and to speedily resolve the listing on the bureaux. No words can express my disappointment in woolworths. I am also planning to use my credit scoring and it is now through woolworths that my credit profile is in jeopardy. I am thinking of this matter legal should it not be resolved immediately</p>
