Harassers
They are back sending me WhatsApp threats again, the same story as in 2023. Demanding me to pay a cancellation fee for something I did not renew...I previously asked for proof, and she said they had a voice recording as proof, but no signed paperwork. They keep threatening me that if I don't pay that amount, they will blacklist me. They are ****mers looking for money. I blocked them previously, but they are using another number now, so i blocked them again, will probably hear from them again in 2027.

Title: Harassment & Threats from “Amalgamated Business Directory” / Business Directory Over Outdated Adverts
Title: Harassment & Threats from “Amalgamated Business Directory” / Business Directory Over Outdated Adverts Complaint: I am being harassed by “Amalgamated Business Directory” (also calling themselves “Business Directory”) through threatening emails and WhatsApp messages demanding immediate payment or a so-called “cancellation fee” for outdated adverti*****ts I never renewed. They have threatened that if I do not react immediately, I will receive a summons, be blacklisted on ITC, flagged as a “bad payer” on Google Live, have my account blocked at CIPC, and be charged interest. Yet the law is clear — in terms of the National Credit Act (NCA), interest may only be charged where a valid written agreement exists specifying the applicable rate and terms. In the absence of such an agreement, no lawful interest can be enforced. Although these adverts were placed on behalf of companies, they have made it clear to me that because my personal cell number appears on the adverti*****ts, I am held personally responsible for the alleged debts — even though a second person’s number also appears. This is unfair and lacks any legal basis. I have repeatedly asked for a signed contract or agreement — none has been provided, because I know there never was one. If anything is sent, I will do everything in my power to have it forensically tested to confirm authenticity. They have also *******ly published my personal contact details online without my consent, in violation of the Protection of Personal Information Act. The original adverts were paid for years ago and should have expired. They have since republished or altered them without permission, then used them to intimidate me into paying fees I do not owe. My legal question: Why has the Prescription Act (No. 68 of 1969) not been app****, considering that any alleged debt older than three years has prescribed? Furthermore, has any substantiated claim been provided to prove a legal obligation? Advice for others: If a company claims your advert has been “running on their website” without your consent or payment, a forensic digital crime & cyber expert can investigate exactly when it was published, for how long it ran, and when any alterations were made. Don’t be bul**** into paying for something you did not agree to. These scare tactics are *********, possibly ********, and appear to breach the Consumer Protection Act, National Credit Act, Prescription Act, and data privacy laws. I demand the immediate removal of my information from all their platforms and an end to this harassment.

****mers
In 2014 our company that was registered in my name used Business Directory for an ad - it was just for 12 months. In 2019 the business ceased to exist as it was sequestrated and and both my husband and myself had a likwidation in our personal capacity as well. Then all of sudden in 2023 this extremely rude lady started sending threatening whatsapp's to my husband saying she's is going to blacklist him if he doesn't pay a R1500 cancellation fee. He informed her the company is sequestrated and his liquidated and wanted to send the High Court documents to her but she wasn't interested. She forwarded messages while swearing at him and after about two weeks nothing again. This week she started with her threatening messages again and when he request a copy of the so called signed contract, she tells him to contact Contractors Directory - but phoning their number, you get to her. She claim she is only collecting the "debt" for Contractors Directory and she can blacklist him for the cost of the company that he was only a worker for and which is sequestrated 5 years ago. What is strange since 2014, we never heard of them again all the way up to 2023 and last year, it was also this time of the year.

We are being ****med please help
I had the worst experience with this company called Business Entry Directories. They give advertising a bad name. I need some assistance please. I work a a GP. practice on the 13 August 2024 we got a call from telkom so the agent said (Thembeka) but later found out actually she was calling from a company called Teleacc2024. The conversation was totally misleading by the agent and then for the past 5days we have been receiving emails and calls from Sharan at that company saying my boss has to pay R12 000 for a product (online adverti*****t) which we didnt even proof read or approve. I am a P.A. at this establishment and I can clearly say we are being **********. I asked for the recorded call but this lady is rude and unhelpful. She has been sending threatening emails, to hand my boss over to her legal department. All I know we signed the document to say we changing to fibre on our usual telkom line. We didnt receive any information on our add but being told we signed documents on 13th August so we have to pay for this on online adverti*****t. We didnt want an online adverti*****t. The agent Thembeka deceived us on that call she made and this Sharan lady expects us to pay for something which is totally ******* according to my opinion. This is not professionalism but a **** I believe and I ask everyone out there to please beware of this. Can I please get some help regarding this matter from the Advertising industry.
