Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.

You need to ensure that NO debit orders are allowed to go off your account. You also need to ensure that you do NOT sign any documents with them. Also, you need to do a credit search on your name each month to ensure that they don't list you for something that you never intended.

Please remember this is a dialog if you have follow-up questions please make the required deposit, then use the REPLY button and ask your further question. I would like to continue assisting you, but I need to concentrate on people who make deposits for their questions - they get serviced first!
