BALANCE YOUR DEBT/BOND SCAM!!!!
I was contacted by Marius van Heerden in October 2012 to handle my application for voluntary sequestration,since I was going through a financial crisis. I had to pay him R8000.00 which i had to borrow from my employer! Since day one I was advised not to answer my phone and not to make contact with any creditor,as he would take care of everything. The matter was given over to Francois Uys Attorneys. Till today no matter who i phone nobody can tell me anything! I PAID all monies as per the court order and i am still no better off. Until today they have done nothing. I was supplied with false court dates.They didn't contact my creditors to make arrangements or anything.I had to beg them to send emails to my creditors and even then they sent out short and unprofessional emails. I am sitting now with debt that i have paid 3 times over,even more as in the beginning and they don't care! I have no idea who to contact and i am pleading for anyone that has dealt with them that managed to get relief to please help me. I want to warn people not trust this man ,Its a total spam and you will only loose your last much needed money. i have all the documents, proof of payments, emails ect....

Not helping and i struggle to get by
Good morning, I also struggling with balance your bond and it was also Marius van den Heever that started my sequestration order, We paid tem for there services and also paid R8000 after there admin fees was done paid, because the sequestration was still in process Marius said that we can pay the instalments of R2000 over to him until it is given to Uys attorneys, thereafter they will pay the amount that was paid towards Uys Attorneys towards our sequestration over to them to be subtracted from our total outstanding balance, this has been going on and on and Marius sent an email that i forwarded to Uys attorneys and i also have the statement sent to me after the money has been transfered towards our account after the email has been sent to the attorneys office, Every time that i will contact them there will be a new person dealing with our case and everytime the struggle start all over again to get the statement fix. Cherise Lawrence was the last person that i spoke to concerning my account with Uys Attorneys and she after a while just told me that because Marius van den Heever passed away she can not subtrack the R8000-00 from my outstanding balance because she does not know about this and i sent her the email as well as the statement that was once fixed but she just denied all and said she is sorry i have to pay the 8R000-00 again with the outstanding balance. This is 2 years that i am struggling with this in order to pay the correct outstanding balance and to get my name cleared because i can get this fixed and finalized i struggle to get a proper word after i was retrenched because companys also check you credit status, i can not get a place to stay on my own because of my name, my daughter is doing her matric and i will not be able to assist my child with further stadies and this list just keeps going. I really feel that we went to balance your bond because we had trouble after circumstances, we paid money that was difficult to pay but the end result was a good and nice picture, and now because somewhere somebody didnt do there job and inconsistancy of people come and go i have to pay R150000 instead of R8000 and i am a alone mom working for a small salary because again of my name. i have emails and statements to sent also but for them to ask for proof of payments after Marius said i have to change my bank details after the sequestration process started egg and after 6 years is not an easy task to get them but what i do have a statement sent directly from there office and now they deny there own statement. I need help please i really want to pay the outstanding balance and get my name cleared and rehabilitated but it doen not seem i get anywhere, i phoned the ombudsman, they can not help, i spoke to the curator, they said uys attorney must fix this they can not help and so i am back to square one because Cherise Lawrence at Uys Attorneys just say sorry marius passed and i can change that

Worst service -all lies- BE VIGILENT
<p>About 18 months ago I received a call from marius Van Den heever, stating that they can help me with my debt. they would inform all my creditors of my application for sequestartion and all I need to do is pay them an instalment for at 18 months only.After which time all my debt will be written off and then I can start a new slate. Everyting sounded wonderful less instalment, only for 18 months, Well guess what 18 months later I contacted them to find out how far things are as I was onmy last payment looking forward to my New debt free life. I was informed that apparently I have to pay them a new instalment for another 18 months because they didnt include all costs with my initial application. This is 2 years passed wehere- I have been avaig=ding my creditrs, To make a long story short- I cancelled application with them and decided to apply for debt review. Its been 4 months and I have not received any reply from them, They don`t know what has happened to the money. The attorneys Francois Uys never received the money, at first they told me that I never paid them. After I sent them the proof of payment, they have not come back to me at all. My total refund R33300.00 has never ocurred. They wasted my time. I am still where I was 2 years ago.Guys pleas stay away from these people, I cant` sleep at night and now I am expecting my 2nd child and I am faced with a very awkward situation that I don`t think will ever be resolved. I regret trusting these people and making regular payments to them all for nothing,</p>

Balance your bond scam
<p>Marius van den Heever dissapeared with R7500.00 of my money. I wanted to make use of the service he offers but cancelled everything before it even started. I have numerous mails from him promising me that all monies will be returned to me. All the correspondence I had with him comes down to empty promises. Now I see other people who contacted me got taken with the same scam. It's been a couple of years trying to get my money back. I think the only way to get my money is to go through the courts.</p>

Dont do business with them
I applied in 2013 for sequestration and i had to pay Marius R6,000 for the set up with Balance your Bond which i did, then i was advised that all will be handed to the Attorneys Arcadia Law to finalise and sort everything out which i was happy about, but its nearly 2016 and R44,000 late nothing has happened, Marius is a good minipulator and will do anything to get you to swing over, i am now in more debt than what i was 2 years ago and nothing has been done to pay off my creidtors, it was a FALSE PROMISE and i can guarentee you will not get your money back and you will sit in more trouble than what i have years ago, now i need to try and find more finds and sort out all the creditors that have handed me over to attorneys and debt collectors cause of this false crap that Marius got me into - DO NOT TRUST BALANCE YOUR BOND!!!

You took my money and did not HELP!
I !was contacted by Marius Van Den Heever in 2013 to handle my application for sequestration due to my terrible financial status. He made so many promises, I then paid my R6000.00 in two payments and was advised attorney's will be dealing with the file. No communication from either parties, I spoke to Marius in May 2015 who then promised me once again that my situation would be remedied and still no joy. He rather ignored my e-mails and when I requested for my money to be paid back in September as no services was rendered, he then wanted to jump around and deal with my file. I have now found a new firm who are willing to help me within a reasonable SLA and would like my money back ASAP!!! I would really not like to be one of your victims who have been swindled out of much needed money. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! I have sent yourself (Marius Van Den Heever) as well as your employee Michelle Havelaar an e-mail with my banking details. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK
