****!!!!!!!!!!
I received a call from a company stating that they intended to reduce my interest rate. When I inquired about which specific accounts were involved, I later received a text message informing me that I had given them consent to assess my affordability using my identification number. This situation is alarming; it's unsettling to think that someone I don’t know can call me and access my personal information. This is unacceptable, plain and simple!

CDS Consulting Pty Ltd ****
I received a call on Friday 13 March 2026 from CDS Consulting Pty Ltd. The lady that called me claimed that I was paying too much for my car installment. She then transferred me to a gentleman who told me that they would like to give me R16 000 back as they believe Wesbank has been *****ing that money from me. They were phoning me to help me get that money back. When asked if they were a debt review company, they told me I had nothing worry about and that is not why they were phoning me. They wanted me to confirm all the information they had about me and asked to get access to my bank account. They sent SMS's and WhatsApp's. They do not answer any of my phone calls or emails! I did not agree to be signed up for debt review and will be taking legal action if done so!

This company requested my credit report without my permission.
A consultant from CDS Consulting (Pty) LTD called me offering to reduce the interest on my accounts/debts. I asked him to confirm which debts, he asked me to hold and then he hung up. The next thing I got the below message, I want to know who gave you permission to request my credit report? "I, Kelebogile Modise, ID 8808*****3084, gave consent to request my credit report on 2026-02-16. Reason: Affordability Assessment. CDS Consulting (Pty) LTD"
