, QUESTION 1: On 13 March, Alvereen Leonard approached three different credit providers
and applied for credit. First, she approached Easy Loans and applied for a R5 000 loan to pay
her outstanding utility bills. Next, she approached a second-hand car dealer, Cars at Cost, and
purchased a R10 000 car on credit. She then went to ABC Loans for a loan of R20 000 to pay
for her daughter’s school fees. Financial assessments were only conducted at Cars at Cost and
ABC Loans. She did not include any information about the two former applications during
the assessment that was done by ABC Loans. Alvereen was granted credit by all three
providers. Subsequent to this, she started defaulting on her payments. Explain whether any of
these credit agreements will be deemed reckless. (8)

Leonard owns ABC Estate Agency which specialises in residential rentals. Anthea Wagener

Road for R8 000 per month. Anthea pays her rent on time each month until she is retrenched.
She then fails to pay her rent for three months. Michelle, who is employed by ABC Estate
Agency as the office manager, follows up with Anthea. For two months, she phones Anthea
repeatedly at home and at work. She threatens to have Anthea blacklisted at all the credit
bureaus and to institute legal action against her. A month later, she gets Anthea to sign an
acknowledgement of debt form and then proceeds to collect the arrear rental from her. In
