Cell C Fibre Support

I have been fighting with Cell C for almost a year now over my fibre line cancellation with them because it wasn’t working for 3 months (which were paid for) but they kept sending me overdue invoices and statements after the cancellation. I’ve queried this a number of times and each time I was assured that this was an error that will be rectified. The statements kept coming every month thereafter, from August 2021 to date. I contacted them yet again and they promised to “log a call”and “escalate” the matter which never happened. I’ve recently been hounded every other hour by debt collectors because Cell C has now handed over my (non-existent) account to their lawyers. I’ve called a number of times and each time I they tell me to wait 24-48 hours for feedback. I’ve been waiting for a week but there has been no communication from them, just endless calls from their debt collectors. The consultants don’t care about customer satisfaction and are extremely dismissive, none of them seem to know what the process is regarding a matter of this magnitude. Every time I ask for someone senior to expedite this matter (that is affecting my credit record) they tell me about high volumes and ask that I be patient. I’ve been sent from pillar to post with zero assistance from cell c so this is literally my last resort. I need this sorted out as soon as possible!

I’ve just received a call confirming that my matter has been escalated (heard that before) and will have feedback in 24-48 hours (AGAIN). So I have to wait another 2 days for someone to take a look at it. I won’t be holding my breath. 🙃

I’ll keep posting these updates until this has been resolved because clearly shaming them in public helps with them getting their job done!

Another 72 hours have gone by. After waiting 96 hours for them to escalate the matter twice. This is the incompetence I keep speaking about. Debt collectors haven’t stopped calling me.

I am going to sue you! This is absolutely unacceptable. Your processes are **** and you are *****ing from us! This is *****!!! There is absolutely no reason for me to have to wait this long for you to rectify a mess that you created! This has gone on for way too long and I am afraid I don’t have anymore patience for this.

Another 48 hours has gone by still no word from Cell C. I’m getting calls from your lawyers every single day to pay an account I don’t owe. Please could you give me an email address to your legal department so I can send them to my lawyers.

Still no response from cell c. My efforts to speak to someone at the top have also been in vain. I’m not sure what the next step is right now because even this medium isn’t working. I guess I should try shame they on social media now.

No, of course I haven’t! I’m in talks with my lawyers and they’ll be dealing with the matter going forward. Cell C will be responsible for legal fees incurred.
