Julie and Another v Firstrand Bank Limited (25964/2013) [2014] ZAGPJHC 411 (28 February 2014)

Julie and Another v Firstrand Bank Limited (25964/2013) [2014] ZAGPJHC 411 (28 February 2014)

The court found that the first respondent had complied with section 129 of the National Credit Act by sending the required notice to the applicants, and the second applicant had signed an acknowledgement of receipt. The applicants failed to contradict this evidence, did not file a replying affidavit, and their counsel conceded receipt of the notice. The applicants' argument that the judgment was erroneously or fraudulently obtained was unsupported by the facts. The notice was compliant with statutory requirements, and the applicants admitted their arrears. There was no basis for rescission under Rule 42, and the application was dismissed with costs.
