Telkom allows anyone to invoke a debit order

I genuinely feel sorry for her husband...

Go figure why they put up with it - I've made it every clear in my impending marriage that I'm not going to put up with stuff like that -life is too short.

This is one of the reasons I did not press charges since I knew he would come to the party. Apparently I hear (after the fact of course) that she has been done for shoplifting and other petty theft in the past, yet they live in a smart house in Noordhoek and the kids go to Herschel.

It's a compulsion with some people.

My attorney had a word with a tracing agent who has an office in Pretoria. When this guy called his Pretoria office and described the situation, they started to laugh. Apparently this bogus attorneys are quite well known but he hadn't heard of them targeting people in Cape Town. The tracing agent in Pretoria said it was obvious that they either had an "in" into Telkom's accounts, or more likely could access the Telkom billing computer, which is easier to hide, since the record of people logging on is so involved that it creates over 2000 pages of record a day and nobody ever looks at it.

Apparently, Telkom phone billing and ADSL billing are two completely different departments who do not speak to each other, or share any details and the whole design is a big mess
