Hi Vanash. I cannot seem to download the attached files on your first thread

Hi guys, I hope you can help me with this.
We left SA in July 2014 and moved to Argentina, now my wife had a Nedbank credit card debt of 15K, we never heard from them (no email) now we came back in Jan 2018 and for the past 3 months she has sms, calls and emails claiming she has to pay R60K. It's not Nedbank, and now they say that she was summoned, how do I know she was summoned? I was reading about prescribed debts. I wanted to know if she should just ignore the calls and sms or what to do. Thank you in advance! Federico

Notices of legal processes would likely have been sent to your wife's last given address for the serving of notices. If there was no response, the creditor could quite legitimately have taken a default judgement. This would mean the debt is still validly owed.
