Cell-C and Trade partners

Payment done through Cell portal on the 24/8/2023 payment was clear by Pay fast on the 27/08/2023. My account was added to earlier collection. Have been harassed by Cell-C and Subsidiaries (Call Center) 2x a day. Totally unprofessional, unkind and rude. Not matter if I email proofoypayment at cellc or customerservice at cellc it did not help. Afterward, no matter what I said, I was said and I was treated as a lair. When the fault is lays at Cell-c doors from begging to end. I called Payfast on my time to get the reference number from PAYFAST that was successful was NOT ACCEPTED by Cell-C or Trade partner NEEDS A PDF, i contacted my bank to provide a PDF for a card payment, (24H turn around time from the bank) I went into nearest cellc store to deal with Neo, who is one of the best consultant I have the privilege to deal with, it took him two weeks to deal with the matter. Still afterwards, I received called from Cell-C Partner at 251/257 Buyers Naude Drive Number +***. This is so and so, please confirm your ID Number that I am sure I am speaking to the correct person... seems Cell-c and partner does not abide by the acts and statues that govern this land and companies. It is against the law/popi act to ask any client to provide ID number over the phone. I lost it with that consultant.... Still today, on my account which was check at 1500 21 Sept 2023 is still on earlier collection.

Cell-c need to correct my credit score! Due to the way there system works. Cell-C need to train their staff and trade partner to keep up the the laws governing the land. One does not provide ID number telephonically. Now due to cell-c error, i cannot trade upgrade or open a new contact for three months. Call centres are the worst thought out of business. EVER

How long will this take cellc to fix this? How long will this take cellc to correct my credit score How long will this take cellc to fully correct their mistake How long will this take cellc to reward their customers for cellc and trade partners errors. How long does it take cellc to notify their trade partners, it was CELL MISTAKE Stop calling this client.

Received a call from Cell-C Social Media who again said, if I don't PROVIDE MY ID number they cannot assist and correct the issue created by Cell-C. Is Cell-C above the law of the land? Does the gazette even matter? It would be better used for toilet paper.
According to telephone call after hours Cell-C will take 5days to correct a problem that was started. Is this acceptable? I truly feel sorry for those who cannot pay their cell-c accounts, because if I who can pay my account is treated and hounded like a dog, I cannot think what other have to experience. No Apology, could not give a ******. As long as they can FORCE a customer to provide their ID no otherwise your ICT, problem will NOT be looked at. Strange how Induvial who work for Cell-c and Trade partner have your details to call YOU! also have the details in front of them to "confirm" It is disgusting. Reminds me, if you don't wear a mask you cannot buy food to feed your family. This is SICK business practice. How do you sleep at night?
