CELL C are ******

I'm utterly disappointed and outraged by the services I received from cell c. On July 12th, I called in to request a quote of the amount that I would be required to pay to settle and terminate my cellphone contract. I was adv to make a payment of R1541,55 which I subsequently paid on the 24th July 17. I then called in on the 26th July 17 to request a ccancellation which was actioned accordingly and I even received a confirmation sms thereof. There was no further communication from cell c and I was convinced that everything was sorted till I decided to check my credit report a few weeks later. To my horror, it reflected an amount of R406 owing to cell c and I could not understand why, I queried this with the call centre and the agent could not give me a clear answer. I was then adv to speak to the detentions dept and they too could not give me a concise answer as to what was going on. I spoke to a lady by the name of Rose in retentions and she suggested that I might have been given the incorrect settlement amount. I was livid and requested that they do call retrievals of the conversations I had had with two other consultants who adv me to pay an amount of R1541,55 to cancel my contract. She was very polite and promised to get back to me which she never did. Three weeks after speaking to Rose, cell c attempted to debit an amount of R630 from my bank account and I am beyond disgusted at the dishonest manner in which they have dealt with my account. First of all, why was I given the incorrect amount to pay by 2 consultants who are supposed to be trained professionals? Why wasn't I adv on the additional amount payable if I had short paid my account and why did I receive confirmation of termination of contract if my account was still in arrears ? Why was my account debited with an additional R224 if the arrears amount was only R406? This is the poorest customer experience I've experienced to date and i must say dealing with the cell c's customer service call centre has left a lot to be desired. Hands down!!!

Good morning Nomonde

The amount that you paid, did not include July's invoice which is the R 406.01 you mentioned and you also have an out of bundle usage on the invoice for August.

We will get a consultant to contact you and provide clarity.

Reviewer Update
I called in on the 12th July requesting a settlement quote why was I not advised then that the amount qquoted would not be inclusive of July's invoice? I made payment on the 24th July and called in on the 26th July to finalise termination why was I not advised then that the amount paid was not inclusive of July's invoice? I received confirmation of the cancellation of contract via sms again why was I not informed about this? There could have been numerous attempts to advise me on this but there wereby so how must I make provision for payment for something that I'm not aware of? Also you state that I ha ve an out of bundle usage for the month of Aug which I fail to understand cause I CANCELLED the contract in July my line was switched to prepared in the month of Aug. I was clearly mislead on purpose cause this could've been communicated to me telephonically when I called in initially. Furthermore, cell c could've communicated this to me via sms or by email. Worst still, why was I debited R630 as opposed to the R406 which is what was apparentlying owing? My contract was only for 169 and my monthly usage was 400 so how is it that I suddenly owe 200 more? When I've settled the contract in July already??? This is outrageous to say the least!
