Bad Debt Specialists fix poor credit records...
What is bad debt?
Well it's simple...
- If you pay your account late thats bad credit - i.e. your edgars or foschini account is due on 25th and you pay on the 26th of the month. This goes on for 3 months, the account departments then list you as a late payer.
- If i pay you by cheque and:
My cheque bounces in your account you take the flak, My cheque takes 10 days to clear and your debit orders bounce even if the money is deposited but not cleared you take the flak.
- I dont pay my accounts - i.e edgars, thats bad debt.
- My address changes or does not change and the accounts are sent to the wrong place thats my problem and I will be listed.
Remeber people. That with a bad credit record you cannot get a home loan.
