Formal Public Statement

Formal Public Statement
Public Notice Regarding My Experience With MaxLaw Credit Legal
I am issuing this statement to document my personal experience with MaxLaw Credit Legal and to inform other consumers who may be considering engaging with this company.
I approved a DebiCheck mandate presented by MaxLaw Credit Legal. Prior to approving the mandate, I was informed that I would receive a full credit report, a credit assessment, and further guidance regarding my financial position. After the mandate was approved, I received one phone call requesting that I sign a power of attorney authorising them to act on my behalf. When I requested clarity on the nature and scope of the services they intended to provide, communication from the company ceased.
Despite multiple written and verbal requests, I did not receive:
• The promised credit report
• The promised credit assessment
• Any form of follow up communication
• Confirmation of cancellation of the debit order
I also requested that the debit order be cancelled due to non delivery of services. This request was ignored, and the debit order was processed against my account regardless.
My statements are based solely on my own documented experience, supported by my communication records and bank statements. I have since discovered that numerous other consumers have reported similar experiences, which raises broader concerns about the company’s conduct.
In my opinion, the pattern of non delivery and lack of communication is deeply concerning and warrants caution from the public. I am sharing this information in good faith, in the public interest, and without malice, so that other consumers can make informed decisions.
I reserve all my rights in this matter.

REPORT THESE SCAMMERS!!!!

To anyone reading this... Please, REPORT, REPORT, REPORT! I have sent e-mails to all credit bureaus and rgulatory authorities. I have also sent e-mails to all investigtive journalists and media houses. This is a massive scam involving many people, who have numerous companies registered under them claiming to be debt relief companies or law firms. Unfortunately for them, I caught on before they could debit my account that they are scammers. The amount goes from being once off to being a 14 months subscription for absolutely nothing. sadly, you can't stop/reverse it. I had to close my Capite account! Please also put a Scam alert request with all credit bureaus because if they have your details, who knows what they can do with them. REPORT!!!!

Unprofessional and misleading company

Maxlaw gave me a call and promised they would be able to remove a default on ITC. It never happened, instead after deducting R750 from my account they sent me a copy of ITC report and said that there is an account that's reflecting negative...what was promised was not delivered. They really are a scam and I will be reporting them to the relevant ombudsman. You cannot take advantage of people and steal from them in the process - completely unacceptable.

SCAM, absolute CRIMINALs

They promised me a loan, I did the Debi Check for R750 monthly deduction. They deducted on my pay day, and I still have not received a loan. Their phone number makes you hang on with no response then automatically drops. I have been calling them for weeks. TOTAL Scam, may God punish them severely for what they are doing to people.

Do not talk to them or agree to let then do a credit check. They will take your money
After a 100 x calls and countless emails they will ignore you and those phone numbers dont work. They made it impossible to get hold of them. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!

I have mailed Carte Blanche to investigate them and you should do the same.

Maxlaw shld be blacklisted

Maxlaw conned me into approving a mandate for a debit order of R675 by conning me that it was for a personal loan. When no loan showed on my bank account I contacted them,only to tell me I don't qualify for a personal loan loan. They refuse to refund my money and say the debit order is for 4 months. I cannot reverse it either as they put a stop on the bank reversing it. They are thieves who steal your money!

Not even worth a star

Not even worth a star. Were called to clear my name in march, took my details and set the debit order. Did not hear anything from Maxlaw till the end of june, told oefentse that i will not be able to carry on with the clearing of my name, because I lost my job, the company closed down. With a big suprise their debit order still went off last week and maxlaw refuses to refund my money . . . . .Im going to make you guys famous in the scam alert section

Maxlaw is a scam they called me last time and they they explained to me what they are about it that made sense but now they debited R750 from my account without my authorization which can not even be disputed and when you try to call them they put on hold and then hangup. They still from poor people claiming to of help to them. Never trust them they are unreliable.
