i owe woolworth money and my account was handed over to MBD from the month of april i have been trying to get a settlement offer from MBD but with no luck to date is one promise after the next and the longer they keep the account the more it accumulated legal fees , is thsi how MBD make their money ? all i want is to settle thsi debt .

I owed money for a loan I made a long time ago and it was handed over to the attorneys. (MBDinc) I made an arrangement with the company to debit me each month on the 28th. The first debit was in September 2018 and the last was in Feb 2019. The total amount owed was R2762.71 so the agreement made was that I would pay R500 a month.The last month of payment (28th Feb 2019) they were supposed to debit R262 but they debited R500. I have been back and forth communicating with them about this and I even sent in my bank statement and other necessary documents which they required for a refund. I keep on having to send emails and called a few times (which I cant keep doing because they make me hold for too long) but I do not receive replies unless I threaten them that I will take the matter further then I receive feedback, but 3 moths later and I STILL have not received my money back!!It is ridiculous,they are the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with I just want my money so that I do not have to deal with them ever again! Please Help me??

I had monies owing to Virgin Active and MBD was assigned to collect. I paid the one account off in Dec 2017 and am still owing on the one account.
In March 2018 I paid an amount R530 into the closed off account, which was meant for the other account. Since April I have been querying as to where this R530 is, i want it paid against the outstanding account. I was told to email "Andrew" who is the senior manager there to resolve. Today, 4 moths later and after 3 emails sent ,I am still waiting for an answer, the call ws dropped in my hear, when i called back, I was told if I did a debt order this would not happen.
Also in Dec I was given a letter stating the amount I'm owing, and when i queried that I do not agree with the outstanding balance since I've been paying each month, i was told about the legal fees that was added.
As a consumer, is that not meant to be told to you upfront and the payment arranegment to be made according to that.
I do believe that MBD is not profeesional at all, they have incompetent staff working there, and cannot deal with queries, they hide behind their phones and emails.
Whoever employed "Andrew" really needs to think if they are getting their value out of him for the salary he is getting paid.

Please hlep what can I do as a consumer to get my refund?

I have this company MBD Inc. sending me smses to say I must pay a Vodacom account!!!I'm on prepaid and I dont have a Vodacom Account.Are they insane.Every day a sms from another number comes through on my phone.

Worst company ever!!!!!!! no ethics or service, been sending e-mails by the dozen to inform them I am sequestrated-for an attorney company this should be self explanatory, they are hounding me every day always saying they have not received any e-mails, faxes or correspondence, please something must be done

MBD used to try to make me pay for a tv licence that they opened fraudulently in my name.
The TV lic department did inform them and me that the license was fraudulent and did not even exist!! yet they continued their harassment, until I turned the tables and threatened them.
If you still have a problem with these MBD people contact the Council for Debt Collectors ( http://cfdc.org.za ) and lay a complaint.
I did, now I'm free!!

Ref 5221001016956013 I have made arrangements on the 4th October 2012 with Ruth Phake to settle the Standard bank Account, the initial amount was R44 778.30 and the revised payment plan with a discount of 15% was R38 000.I have finished paying the R38 000 per our agreement but MBD is still debiting my account.I tried several times to bring this issue to Ruth but she always promises to resolve the issue.Can you please follow up with her. MBD is now owing me the sum of R1000.00.

I know I am way overdue with my exact account and it was handed over. I can only afford to pay at the moment R200 a month and I am the only bread winner in the house for my husband is battling to find a job after he got retrenched a year ago and I have a child in school. Every month I transfer the R200 from absa to mbd standerd bank acc. Numerous times when I receive the numerous phone calls at ridicdulous times I can only afford R200. With all the phone calls I receive evry phone call is extra charges. Idiots are working there and I don't know how your system is working but surely you have on record as you also stipulate that evry phone calll is recorded of when the last phone call was done. STOP Phoning me 100 1000 times to ask the same question weekly. I am doing my part now do your part by putting extra phone call charges.

Know what I do when MBD Calls? I put the phone down next to me and carry on with whatever I was doing before-hand. When I pick the phone up again, sometimes they're still talking, sometimes they have hung up, but it causes me zero stress, and in makes them a tad upset, VERY satisfying! I tried supplying all my details and co-operating, but they are fraudsters with zero ethics, don't give a damn what they think.
