VerifiedHi
Welcome to Just Answer!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you.
The hearing is now there to establish whether you will remain under DR. The court will ask some questions and explanations on why you did not make all your payments and you will just have to undertake to keep up with payments.
You can ignore requests from lawyers in the meantime and just refer it to the Debt Councillor.
Regards
Johann

I refer to a matter about a Debt Counsellor I left and
Good day. I refer to a matter about a Debt Counsellor I left and started Debt Counselling with another Debt Counsellor. The previous debt council overcharged me for debt review services. I paid R14,000.00 for debt review services. I use to make enquiry about the charges and it was explained tome that it is for legal services. On 2015/11/30 I paid R4,000.00 for debt review. On 2015/12/30 I paid R4,000.00 for legal services. And from January 2016 till April 2016 I paid R1,500.00 every month for legal services and the show on my distribution statements that I was paying O'Connor and associates for legal services. When asking other people who are also under debt counselling they said I am paying way to much for debt counselling. I got frustrated with trying to get an explanation froma lady called Robyn White that I decided to hand my complaint to the NCR. A lady called Pulane Kareli was the agent assigned to work with my complaint. She explained to me that she requested for documents including a Court Order from the National Debt Advisors and that she has to give the Debt Counsellor 40 days to submit the documents to her. During those 40 days I was asked by Robyn White to print the documents she forwarded to me full it in and hand it to Du Tiot, Louw and Both Inc. Attorneys for my Debt Counselling application that was in March 2016 and was issued with a Court Order 2017/03/23. That is when I realized that O'Connor never did any legal work not even a Court Order. After 40 days I called Pulane Kareli I was told that she is not working on my complaint anymore I can remember remember the gentle man assigned for the matter but every time I called him a lady called Paballo answered and said she is the person working on the complaint and it is at the legal department she is waiting for feedback. I called several times and every time she said that the complaint is still with the legal department. She then briefed me on what is on the complaint that is when I realized that the complaint is not like the way me and Pulane Kareli every thing is just not the way I complaint. I even told her that the Court Order was only done recently by Tu Tiot, Louw and Both Inc. She was very rude because her reply was the the Court Order including all legal services was done by O'Connor and associates "not that Du Tiot Louw and who ever I call them of mine". She forwarded me the decision made by the legal department which obviously didn't go in my favor because this Paballo of the NCR obviously did not work on my complaint. I complaint to one lady which I can not remember and she forwarded me a email showing that she forwarded the complaint to the supervisor of Paballo I can't remember both these lady but I can check for the emails we exchanged during that. From there I received a letter saying the matter if filed as been finilized. I understand that I am now with another Debt Counselling but I still feel that the money which I was charged extra for services not even done by National Debt Advisors and the legal department O'Connor and associates must be refunded to me. I still have the distribution statements PDA and the Court Order issued to me 2017/03/23 by Robyn White from DuTiot, Louw and Both Inc Attorneys if they are needed. The reason now I got hopeless when I the lady at NCR did the same thing as the NDA pretending not to understand what I am complaining about. Regards ***** ***** … read more
