On 24 July 2023, Mr. Pat Mncina had this to say about our Debt Collection Department: "It is an honour for me to write about CBJ Attorneys. We have been making use of their services from 2019 and we have not looked back ever since. Since taking over our debt collection, we've seen a significant increase in the collection rate. They are always available when we need their assistance and they always go an extra mile. Not only do they collect on the school's behalf, they also come to the school to meet and communicate with parents, who may be struggling with paying their school fee accounts. In addition to the above, they assist the school with subsidies, which relieves us of the much work which subsidies entail. They check and verify the information which is supplied by the debtors and they also do the necessary calculations (according to the South African Schools Act). Thereafter, make a recommendation to the school. Whenever we need assistance with legal matters, we always consult with them. It can be something as simple as confirming the legitimacy of a company or legal document, to something as complex as advising on labour matters. We are extremely satisfied with their service and are happy to recommend them. They have indeed exceeded our expectation. Do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
