Question posted in the National Credit Act Law category relating to Western Cape
Good day
Please could you be so kind and advise me what happens in a situation as the one I find myself in?
I was under debt review from 2009 – 2020.
I received my clearance certificates for all settled accounts. My home loan was not settled, so I did not receive a certificate.I then bought a vehicle which was much needed and discovered afterwards that there was a judgement on my namedone by the bank where my home loan was at.I also got a personal loan at this time.
Was it correct of to be granted finance for a vehicle & a personal loan if there was a judgement against my name?
Surely that is incorrect?
I would appreciate your response.
Thanking youDebbie Snyders
