CELL C DEDUCTING MONEY WITHOUT CONSENT AND AFFECTING MY BANK ACCOUNT!!!

Cell C deducting money from my bank account without authorization!

Cell C deducted R200 at the beginning of December without my consent. I reversed the transaction as I am with Standard Bank and have the access on my online banking to do this. I do not hold any Cell C contracts.

Cell C have now caused my bank account to have ***** alert on it, therefore when trying to increase my Standard Bank overdraft the South African ***** team have notified me that Cell C need to let up on this so that my account can be cleared and I can get my overdraft increase approved.

I am very unhappy as I have nothing to do with Cell C, yet Cell C are the ones putting me in a difficult financial position and feel this is completely irresponsible of Cell C. I have tried to call 2 people at Cell C, Standard Bank were kind enough to provide me with numbers but now no one at Cell C answers. I need my account cleared and this sorted out by Cell C within 24 hours so my application with Standard Bank can go through.

I expect an immediate reply on this please.

Thank you Karen Leotta

Please urgently advise on this.

The account has been closed now however when I go and run a credit report this account is still showing and has a balance on it.
This is negatively affecting my credit - this matter therefore is NOT resolved.

Please urgently advise as if this is not sorted out and the balance reversed I will open a case with SAPS.
I would like a full statement stating a zero balance and the account is closed.
I also want to find out where this account was opened as I find it utterly irresponsible for not checking when people open accounts. This has had massive implications as my ID is now red flagged thanks to Cell C.

Please respond to me today. I want that balance at zero and a full statement today.

Good Day,

So yet again I am not receiving any feedback. Cell C are a disgrace.
I need someone at Cell C to contact the credit bureau and have this account removed from my name.

I am not sure if Cell C are aware of how the entire process works, however although you have closed my account the amount needs to be removed and the account needs to be removed by the credit bureau. This unfortunately does create extra work for Cell C, however this is not my problem as the account was opened ever so easily in my name so please utilize the time correctly and make contact with the bureau to remove the account from my name.

I am not sure what time frame I need to give Cell C as apparently you work your own hours.
For the 2nd time, please get someone to contact me and send me some proof that this has been taken up with the credit bureau.

Should this not be done I will return to SAPS and open a case of *****.

STILL NO ONE HAS CALLED ME OR MAILED ME.

I have spoken with the SAFPS and they have noted that Cell C has listed me as the "*********"?
So what needs to happen is you need to call me back so we can sort this out so I can carry on with my life as Cell C has now blocked my ID due to negligence.
I have been given a number to call and no one answers.
I am beyond frustrated, I am a Customer Services Manager and really cannot call the service I am getting from Cell Customer Service.

I would like a call urgently please so I can sort this out.
PLEASE SORT THIS OUT TODAY.
