The Credit Bureau Association clarified that a default judgement obtained over a person’s failure to settle their e-toll accounts would not result in them being blacklisted.
JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress in Gauteng on Wednesday weighed in on the Electronic Toll Collection ’s threat to blacklist motorists who have not been paying their e-toll debt, saying it was “an unfortunate act of provocation”.
“The ANC in Gauteng is on record stating that the residents of Gauteng have said in no uncertain terms that they want nothing to do with the e-tolls in the current form. Furthermore, it is a resolution of our conference that the e-tolls scheme should be done away with and that an alternative solution will have to be found in order to maintain and expand the road network in the province,” said Gauteng ANC spokesperson Tasneem Motara.
The CBA said there was specific legislation in place which excluded the levying and collection of e-tolls from the provisions of the National Credit Act. The association said where such records had been inadvertently loaded onto consumer’s profile, they would be removed.
