First Notice (2013 students) is issued at the beginning of August 2014 by Fredeline Reid.
Letters of demand in terms of Section 129 (regarding 2012 non-registered students) are sent out in March 2014 and handled by the debt collectors.
3.1.      The handling of the letters are divided according to alphabetical order between the debt collectors: Carey Ackerman (A to I), Jolene Arnolds (J, K, O to Z), Miranda Kotze L, M and N.
3.2.      The letters are delivered via registered post. The debt collectors themselves handle these letters. The mailroom needs to get an indication timely of the amount of letters, as well as the amount to be sent nationally, to Africa and other parts of the world in order to get the necessary amount of stickers. An estimate of five working days should be allowed for mailing the letters.
3.3.      The letters have to be signed by a person of authority and delegated in terms of Rule 52 (at present Mr Manie Lombard: Chief Director Finance).
3.4.      The letter of demand has to be in line with Section 129 (read with Section 130) of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005.
If the student/sponsor responds, a payment agreement is arranged and the arrangement is loaded onto the system.
If the student/sponsor pay the full amount and insists on the interest to be written off, the request has to be directed to the Deputy Director: Student Fees & Debtors for approval and correction.
If the student/sponsor responds to the letter and is unemployed, an affidavit has to reach SU within 30 days after the date of delivery and receipt.
