I immigrated to the UK in September 2001, but prior to leaving I visited the N1 City Branch of Edgars & Foschini and settled my outstanding accounts in cash. I did receive a receipt, but that was 12 years ago and I have since moved about 6 times, between countries and homes, so there is NO way I would still have it as proof. Approx. 7 years ago, after returning to SA and applying for a credit card, I started receiving sms's and lawyers letters saying that I still owed money on my account! I have sent copies of my passport, affidavits, etc but still these letters, emails and sms's are coming to me. I have been told to visit an Edgars branch and sort it out there, but I am a full time working single mom so why must I waste my precious spare time standing in a queue to explain, ONCE AGAIN, that I have paid. The balance I am told that is outstanding is R406, I just cannot understand how that is possible when the balance of R240 was paid at the end of August 2001. I am sick and tired of being harassed when I am sure there are people out there who genuinely have not paid their accounts and owe thousands, bother them rather!!!
