VerifiedGood day
My name is ***** ***** I will assist you in answering your question today so please feel free to ask as many followup questions as you like until you are satisfied that I have answered your question.
The provisions of the National Credit Act should come to your rescue in this instance since the National Credit Act is applicable to instances where a cell phone contract is given on credit.
Mr Price mobile should have conducted a affordability assessment before they gave you the contract and the fact that you mentioned to them that you are unemployed, should have disqualified you from getting the contract in the first instance.
You can click on this link to be diverted to the website of the National Credit Regulator. You should lodge a complaint against Mr Price Mobile on the website
I trust that this answered your question.
Please be so kind as to rate my service by clicking on the relevant stars or smiley faces. If you do not rate my service, I do not get paid by the website so I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind as to rate my service positively.
