TALK IS CHEAP MUCH CHEAPER THAN GOING TO COURT
SCAMS
It is true that there are scams out there. Scammers
often target those with debt problems.
Some people hold themselves out to be mediators, who can handle debt
restructuring (which since 2007 can only be done via Debt Counsellors).
Some consumers have unfortunately been tricked.
So, how can consumers protect themselves? Normally, all it requires is
some homework. A quick Google search, a visit to Hello Peter, visiting
the NCR’s online data base (of ADRAs), associations like ADR Network SA
have a panel of registered members where consumers can choose from.
All these steps can help.
