Cell C Customer Careless sucks

On 13 February 2023 , I app**** for contract with cell c online and it was approved, we agreed that it must be delivered on 17 February. On 15 February 2023 I called cell C to amend delivery address because I will not be around. Cell c told me that they can't update delivery address because my contract hasn't been approved. Cell C then delivered my phone on 16 February and since I had indicated that, I will not be available. They went back. On 18 February, I then went to cell c centurion mall to inquire about my returned delivery. They then advised that I should order with them. They still have stock .I them signed the contract in store. According to my agreement number *** with cell c, payment method is through debit order and on last day of the month. The first debit should have been on 31 March 2023. I received an sms below. "Dear Valued Customer, your first contract invoice has been prorated. An amount of 865.48 is due by 2023-03-30. For further information contact 084 135. Cell C." Nothing was debited.

On 03 March 2023 I received another SMS. "Your Cell C account is overdue. Please pay R865.48 urgently or call 084135 for a payment arrangement. If you have paid, please ignore this message" I then sent an email to Cell C customer service and cell c centurion to inquire about lack of debit. Cynthia from centurion called me and informed me that there was debit order failure and my response was I had more than enough funds in my account. A lady by the name of Tshepiso said my contract method of payment is cash not debit order. When I started to engage her on the subscriber agreement that stated that i pay by debit, she became rude and dropped the phone. Later in the day I called collection department the guy confirmed that I'm paying by debit order and he doesn't understand why I received and overdue sms. According to his screen payment is due on 30 April 2023. On Thursday 06 April I received another sms reading like "Your Cell C account is overdue. Pay R865.48 urgently to avoid service immediate suspension. If you have paid, please ignore this message" A lady from cell c centurion called me on 07 April and indicated that she see two invoice of R865.48 due 31 March 2023 and another invoice of R1464.47 due 30 April 2023.She then sent statements to me. The same statements were never sent to me .I then realized that due to conflicting statements from Cell C staff, I should pay and i will continue to pay my contract. I then made payment on Friday 07 April 2023. On Saturday my account was suspended, I couldn't make calls or surf internet. My account up to date is still suspended to make calls. 1. Cell C failed to debit and no one knows why 2. I paid amount due now and due on 30 April 2023 3. Cell C decide to suspend my line after I paid monthly subscription ahead. 4. Cell c customer careless never responded to my email. They just ignored me.

I should have stayed away from this unprofessional service provider. They don't value customers at all. They lack knowledge of what they do on daily basis. I'm very disappointed.

A lady by the name of Nelisiwe called this morning and she was rude as usual. She dropped the call on my ears. She refused to tell me who does she report to. She said to me she report to cell C. When I ask about her manager she dropped the call. The rudeness and harassment from cell C. She doesn't want to accept that cell c did not do proper job when activating contract. When I ask her about the airtime I bought yesterday, she say I will forfeit. She don't listen she jump to conclusion , she interup when I speak. She is not good enough to work with customer unless if that is the caliber of staff cell c recruiter. Cell c haven't responded to my email , only respond to hello Peter.

@NH Nelisiwe you mentioned that debicheck was loaded.
1.For your information, there is no debicheck mandate.
2. Your manager hasn't called me since I said I want to speak to him or her regarding your unprofessional conduct.
3. I asked you many times, you said he/she tried to call me but I never missed a call.
4. You just have to accept that you are a failure.
5. I will never associate myself with Cell C. No wonder you were so defensive.
6. Customer services don't care about customer service. They are the worst.

Since 12 April, I haven't receive a call from the Manager. Maybe the manager is not aware. She doesn't want me to share the bad experience with her.
