Landmark legal action set to change the South African debt collection landscape
--:--
The Stellenbosch University's Law Clinic has filed papers at the Cape Town High Court in requesting an action be taken against current debt collection practices. This comes after several practices relating to the abuse of attachment orders were declared unconstitutional by a recent judgement handed down by Constitutional Court.
The application includes statements from 10 of the clinic's clients siting irregularities in the manner in which creditors and collection agents calculate costs.
