BILLING DISPUTE

I am writing this email to basically indicate that I had a call coming from your offices indicating that I have an outstanding debt and needs to be settled even though I have paid the settlement amount, a settlement amount which I was given by a consultant over the phone when I called to ask how much I will need to pay in order to cancel both lines, I specifically asked for ALL AMOUNTS OVER AND ABOVE that I will be liable for, for cancelling before both contracts reach an expiry date. Please note the following as explained below. I had 3 lines on a contractual basis with you and after a period of time I then decided to end the other 2 lines contracts before the contractual period of expiry. Which those lines I requested are ********** and ********** . I made a call to the Call Center a week before I made payment and I was given those amounts, I called AGAIN on the 23rd of November 2018, id presume as I made those payments on the 24th November 2018 (SEE ATTACHED PROOF OF PAYMENTS), I made a call to confirm the outstanding amount that needed to be paid out in order to clear ALL the contractual amounts I was supposed to pay as per my contracts with you since I was terminating the contracts before the expiry dates, I made that very clear with the consultant, and unfortunately I did not take down her name, it was a lady I spoke to. I remember I confirmed with her about 3 times if those are the ONLY amounts I will be liable for over and above. She assured me that is how much I will need to pay in order to get them cancelled. I was however told that the outstanding amounts as I requested and needed to be settled so as to be able to cancel the contracts were R907.52 and R707.63. Therefore I made arrangement to pay these amounts as I had been advised when I made my enquiry. Between the 24th, 25th or 26th November 2018 I made a call to confirm receipt of payment and was informed that payment was received and cancellation of the contracts will be processed immediately. A few days later, I also received an sms confirming cancellation from contract to pre-paid. This therefore gave me the indication that I had settled my outstanding amounts and I will not be held contractually liable for any outstanding amounts. However I have been receiving calls informing me that there is an outstanding amount that needs to be settled which I am not aware of and was never advised about that as per my enquiry previously and November, I NEVER GOT ANY MINUTES OR DATA , but I was surprised to see that I was invoiced in December and tried to debit my account. The last call I received from your offices was on the 28th December 2018. I eventually came to a decision of lodging a complaint with your office as I dispute the amount that is being debited and I am told I still owe after initially being told my contract has been cancelled and is paid up. My first case was logged with Noluthando and was given reference ********** ********** and the call recording reference number was ********** ********** , as I requested for the call. TILL TODAY, I AM STILL WAITING FOR THAT CALL RECORDING I cannot be held liable for any outstanding amounts as I was informed by one of YOUR employees the amount I needed to pay and was clearly advised and informed those amounts paid. Kindly assist in settling this dispute as I cannot be held liable after being informed and assured that the payments were received and the contract was cancelled.

I had to call again this morning to follow up on my case and to my surprise im told the case is closed, how is it closed when the consultant that called me told me she had not listened to call and she will go back to listen to it and call me back, that was last week. till today im waiting to be called back. HOW IS MY CASE CLOSED WHEREAS NO ONE CAME TO ME WITH FEEDBACK! AND MY REQUEST FOR THE CALL RECORDING IS STILL NOT MET Cell C I am sick of your service and I wont be held liable for amounts I was neber advised of. Everyone is passing the buck and not solving my query, instead when they call me claiming to be dealing with my query, they all tell me im owing! How is my query solved in that way, AND NEXT TIME PLEASE, WHOEVER THAT IS GOING TO CALL ME, THEY MUST RESEARCH MY CASE FIRST. DON'T BE SO QUICK TO CALL ME BACK BEFORE LISTENING TO THE CALL. I am not disputing the invoices per se, my PROBLEM IS THAT THE CONSULTANT NEVER GAVE ME CORRECT AMOUNTS. NOW I MUST BE LIABLE FOR THAT? HELL NO!!!!!!!!

I am extremely annoyed with CELL C, on the 15th January 2019 this matter was resolved with KHULEKANI for the cell c number ***, , all was sorted, but now yesterday I saw that CELL C listed me for an amount of R205, FOR THE VERY SAME NUMBER, THAT I HAD PAID ALREADY. AND THAT WAS CONFIRMED BY A CONSULTANT when I called yesterday, and she said she will arrange a settlement letter to be sent to me, because I want it so I can have my name cleared, I cant really be listed for money I had paid already long ago, R205 for that matter. I got an sms just now to say my query is solved, WHICH IT ISINT,. Yesterday, 13 May 2021, I spoke to Cwenga Ntshwanti at 12:25 pm, Refference number *** and she confirmed that I DO NOT OWE. Now, I want someone to CALL ME NOW, and I WANT MY SETTLEMENT LETTER SENT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
