BAD CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!! CELLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!CFIBRE!!!!!

I am disappointed on how my query is being handled by Cell C. My account was in arrears as of August and settled the arrears on the 3rd September 2021. On the 20th September 2021, my account was wrongly debited an amount 3x my fibre premium. I called CellC fibre support and told them i will be reversing the debit and made a manual payment of my monthly premium since I know my account is up to date. Today they debited an amount which is 6x my premium. The 1st query was logged on the 7th September 2021 The 2nd query or follow up logged on the 23rd September 2021 The 3rd attempt on the 15th October 2021 and yet +5k debited!!!!!

I have followed up numerous times and every time I follow up, I am told the same, “I will escalate your query”. This is frustrating now!!!!!!!!!! The turn-around times I have been given were never met nor a simple courtesy call or an update on how far the query is via email. What the hell happened to CRM embarrassing yourselves like this!!!!!!!!!!!

I have sent an email with all proof of payments on the 3rd and the 23rd September 2020 as per statement dated 04 August 2021.
Reference used for the payment is my Cell C account number, 33******85.

Cancel DO and consolidate my accounts. I will pay manually going forward. I need confirmation that all is in order please, my credit profile shows that my profile is in arrears, why Mara???????????

You will follow up, 😡😡same drama I have been hearing for over a month now. I have asked to be contacted and so far no one has. It is just pathetic how you deal with complaints. Confirm that debit orders are canceled and that my account is updated. You do not even acknowledge that you have messed up.

Learn how to sympathize with with frustrated clients "acknowledge complaint, apologize for your mistakes, provide TAT, stick to TAT and make contact if the complaint is not yet resolved within the given TAT." basic principles of Customer Relationship Management.

Melinda Dlamini who is dealing with my problem has been sending same email for over three weeks saying that my query is been investigated. How long does it take to trace payments. My credit profile is down by over 30 points and my line is now suspended. Spoke to one unprofessional consultant ever in my life, Skhonzile Mthethwa call ref: **********196145 who told me my account is suspended due to arrears on my account which I reiterated that I have made payments and my account is up to date and I was told there is no way my can be reconnected up until my case is resolved and since the unreliable Melinda Dlamini is not doing her job I am *****ed according to Skhonzile.

I am still expecting a call from the manager since October and to date I have confirm my availability and no one has made contact.

Trust index is 3.1/10 and Net promoter score of -82%, what is your CEO saying about such pathetic numbers and yet not even putting any effort to retain your existing base, do managers even do QA to.

SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
