Cell C Debit Order Dispute

I have been trying to get my query responded to since May 2021. I had a data contract with Cell C and canceled it last year July 2020, I was told my contract will be canceled in August 2020 after my last payment which went off the 1st of August 2020. May 2021 I got a debit order for R41.61 for a service I do not have with cell c any longer, and a debit order was never authorized by me. I reversed it and called the call center straight away to query the debit order, I went into a cell C store on the 31st of July 2021 to find out why i'm still being debit ordered, no one could give me answers, i was told that i would receive feedback in 48 working hours, nothing. I kept calling Cell C call center where no one can assist me with the query, and they refuse to escalate my query to the accounts department. Cell C has now put me onto the credit bureau for R41.61 and I am trying to find out why. I called the call center last week Wednesday and was told that number that was for that contract cannot be found on their system or under my ID number. I need to buy a call but this information on this credit bureau is hampering that! This is the worst service i have ever received! No one has ever called me, yet my contact number is listed. I have now opened a case again Cell C as I am not getting any help to resolve this.

 | Customer 's last payment was supposed to be in August an amount of 215,00 but in September customer was granted a disconnection fee of R 173.39- R215= R41,61
Customer was then charged with a penalty fee of R70,00x2 for 2 months because we could not received a payment of R41,61

As per my email that was rep**** on, nowhere was there any mention of the disconnection fee, and i paid the full amount for the debit order for the contract. So why no debit order from Last year to this year?? And how will i get the grantee that once this dumb debit order is paid that the debit order will be stopped and a paid up letter be given to me? As we speak there is a pending debit order on my bank account for R181.61 which should be reflecting by tomorrow. Will you then send me a paid up letter?? cause for **** sakes you guys have the worst service in the world! I am taking Cell C to the banking ombudsman as i dont see why 6 months later i am not being debit ordered??

Please confirm that the amount of R181.61 is the only amount i need to pay, as I do not want to be told that there is another amount outstanding that will hinder this process any longer. you can reply directly to my email account. - *** or send a sms to ***, i would highly appreciate it

As I will be sending them the proof of payment and email stating i have requested a paid up letter from Cell C so that I can be removed from the credit bureau so that i can purchase my car, as i was hijacked 4 weeks ago and I need to buy a new car
