💨 Abstract

The article highlights the aggressive tactics of debt collectors in South Africa, particularly against the backdrop of rising living costs and stagnant wages. Credit reporting firm Experian reports that 10 million South Africans are over three months behind on repayments, facing intense pressure from collectors. The National Credit Regulator (NCR) protects consumers from illegal collection tactics, though many are still subjected to them. The piece also mentions various other news stories but does not elaborate on them.
