Reckless Lending

<br> My domestic worker was approached by Woolworths by telephone offering a large loan. On the telephone a loan was granted, now she has found herself in trouble re-paying the loan. I sent Woolworths details of her debts and income showing she cannot repay. Woolworths disputed this information but to date have been unable or unwilling to supply their information to me, I have POA, which they have acknowledged. <br> <br> In the meantime they have handed over the account to Munnick Basson Dagama Inc, who have handed over to First Credit. Both companies have issued letters of demand. I have been unsuccessful in contacting either company by phone, and neither offer an email. MBD says they are too busy and I should call back or leave a message which they do not respond to. First Credit puts one through to a line that rings and rings.<br> <br> In my opinion these are SCARE tactics to stress my employee, as I believe under the National Credit Act this is Reckless Lending. I have known Woolworths for 70 years as I am originally from the UK and have had the greatest respect for them. I wonder if the parent company is aware of the goings on in South Africa.<br>
