I had an Edgar’s account which was last paid on the 2nd of April 2004. I got this account as a temporary employee earning R12.47 p/hr @ 24 hours p/wk. I was contacted by VVM Inc on 05/05/2010 to inform me that legal action will be taken against me as I have an outstanding balance of R4064. I was told that the last payment made to this account was on the 02nd of April 2004 to the amount of R200. No communication has occurred between myself and Edgar’s for over 6 years. I have not used this account for more than 7 years. I have no idea what is going on. They don’t even have the proper address for me, the have the old address where resided 10 years ago. In the interim I’ve moved twice, the second address they should be well aware of. No correspondence has been sent to any of my previous addresses. I checked with family members. It is now years later and they tell me this? This has also not reflected on my credit record as I’ve received credit from numerous institutions over the past 8 years. None of whom have had any complaints about debt I have at Edgar’s. How do I go about resolving this. Do I  just pay them my hard earned cash?

Immediately, as you are entitled to get a full statement of the how the amount is calculated, be sent to you. It is possible that you changed you address and therefore they could not get hold of you. Then you revert to me for further advice!
