I had an unpaid bill (a lousy R 1036-00) which also popped up years later, which I have paid in an attempt to get these people off my back, regardless of the fact that it was nearly 7 years later and that I still await any statement from Telkom of the amount owing.

I did not want to give them my personal details but only requested a bank account so that I could settle an account that was overlooked in my divorce proceedings. I was refused the detail till my personal information was divulged, great attorneys if they could not find it for themselves??

This was paid in January, every month since then I have received notifications that the amount is due for payment, when I call in the call centre people say the 'system' says its paid but strangely the 'system' still notifies me.

Please get someone to fix your 'system' and stop bugging me!

They phoned us after more than 10 years, saying that we owe Health & racquet money, they have the wrong details, and id number of the person they are looking for, now suddenly after 10 years they are looking for the 'outstanding' money. Now they keep sending us letters to say we need to fax an affidavit (which we already have) and now suddenly they want us to fax through our ids, and contracts, . They are suppoused to have these information but they keep asking us for us. We have been asking a few times now to see who signed the contract that they claim we signed, unfortanetly we were very much under aged, and there is no way that a contract will be legal if you are under 18 years old. They have been trying to rip people off, and it really needs to stop now. Its not a nice thing to. If they want to make money, they need to make it in a legal way, not try to con people, and threathing them. Can someone please put a stop to these people. i see that so many people are complaing about this, but why is nothing being done about it. I was given leagal advise, that this case is older than 3 years, and we shall not be held liable for this.
