This is a SCAM,i wrote countless emails…

This is a SCAM,i wrote countless emails and told debtbusters to CANCEL my application before 17.2 form was issued.i contacted NCR and explained my situation and they told me that it is possible to cancel the application before 17.2 agreement but KUDZAI CHIVAMBA went ahead and flagged all my paid up store accounts and credit cards that were not even listed on the application.

I made it very clear on the emails that i will not be part of the process & will not let you debit even a cent from my bank account,but the so called Kudzai Chivamba did not honour his promise to proceed with rejection.

I feel so scammed,and my rights being violated.i am so disappointed and my financial freedom was taken away from me.i will not encourage any one to be part of this crap,its like being in prison and jailed for life.you are such a disgrace for taking advantage of my situation.

This is a scam

This is a scam , even after I told them to cancel the application before they shared the 17.2 I called NCR and they told me that it is possible to cancel the application before 17.2 agreement but Simamkele Booi continues to be a god and proceeded with the application.
I will not be part of the process,I declare.

I was harassed and my rights were violated.

I will wait for them to send the court date , my lawyers are ready.

We are tired of people scamming people because of business and that they want to reach a certain numbers by force.This I will take to all platforms to make them aware of the matter,

I had a 50/50 experience

I had a very bad experience, where I had to call almost everyday, every week just to get my issue sorted, sometimes when you reach out to your consultant you are told that they are on leave or lunch, struggled to get call back but there was a consultant who tried to help me out a couple of time ( Zilungile) she was helpful
