Cell C accounts a disgrace

In April I took out a contract for wireless LTE. One week later Cell C cancelled all these contracts telling only the stores and not their customers. I spent almost a week trying to connect then my local Cell C store informed me of the problem. They suggested I take out a new contract using smart data which I did. However Cell C still owe me the balance of the contract I paid for in April plus the 20Gigs extra I purchased just before they cancelled the contract that was R799. They passed a credit for May for which they charged me. They still owe me R799 plus the balance of the contract I could not use for April. The local Kokstad store staff are extremely helpful but even they, despite numerous e-mails and phone calls to their accounts dept, all fell on deaf ears. I too have sent 7 emails with proof of overcharge which also fell on deaf ears. They take your money on a regular basis but when it comes to sorting out their wrongs they ignore you and keep your money. Disgraceful service indeed. Imagine cutting new customers off, informing the stores by letter (which I have seen) but ignoring the paying customer. Then keeping their money.

Thank you Cell C I was contacted the following day, the matter was escalated, I was called and the necessary credit was allocated to my account in Gigs. I checked on the Cell C App and the Gigs had been added. Funny thing 4 hours later they had disappeared on the app! So don't understand if the App is wrong or my Gigs were taken back. Anyway, thanks for the contact and thanks hellopeter without you this would never have happened.

How do I do that?

Also can you tell me what happened to the Gigs?

Cell C app says they are gone. Can't have used them in a day. Thanks

Has anyone experienced a similar situation of vanishing data? Within two days 30Gigs of smart data vanished from my account. This is not the first time. I have a Fingbox and purposely blocked all users in the house as a test after buying data from them. Even then I lost 30 Gigs. Where did it go? Who took it? Cell C have not responded as yet. I bought 19Gigs of data from them and they put in 12 Gigs as a credit for data I was charged for in April. Now 30 Gigs gone. The 19 Gigs was credited to my account and the 12 Gigs they put in as a credit was also shown on the account I saw this on my Cell C App. However 4 hours later it was gone!!!! I now only have 110Gigs of night time data left and have now been cut off during the day. Anyone else been in the same boat?
