    Dear Team,

    I have been trying to contact Ruth but to no avail. I have tried to contact her references but none of them is picking the phone. I am still trying my best to get to talk to any of them.

    Thank you.

    I talked to Ruth, one of the payment she made was not reflected that is why there is an arrears.
