Not Protecting The Poor

Not Protecting The Poor

IT is time to take action. Why? The issue of exorbitant interest rate (30%) on late municipal payments. Our Town Council is destroying us with interest of 30% on outstanding accounts.

The final result is that our furniture (property) is sold, not for services rendered but for interest charged on these accounts. Central Government is taking big issue with protecting the poor from high fees charged by commercial banks, only to allow this kind of daylight robbery to sneak in.Our wish is for Council to have a look at this issue and reconsider their decision, specially in these trying times when our economy is riding the lowest wave ever.Worried LuderitzCentral Government is taking big issue with protecting the poor from high fees charged by commercial banks, only to allow this kind of daylight robbery to sneak in.Our wish is for Council to have a look at this issue and reconsider their decision, specially in these trying times when our economy is riding the lowest wave ever.Worried Luderitz
