Cell C ********** Upgrade and subsequent debit orders

A ********** upgrade was carried out on my prepaid data contract in August last year without my permission. I sent the documents in to Cell C, Watercrest Mall, along with the police affidavit. They forwarded these to the Cell C ***** department who has not got back to me yet. This was done on the 22nd December 2018. I had to reverse the debit orders and cancel them. I also instructed the staff at Cell C Watercrest to stop my contract immediately. Having done this, more debit orders with new reference numbers have come off my account and I have had to cancel and reverse these as well with my bank. Cell C cannot help me as they say the ***** investigation has to be carried out before they can take my details off the system. After phoning them for help, I was led on a wild goose chase from call centre department to call centre department and cut off and not given a reference number. They apparently couldn't or wouldn't help me and refused to give me a reference number for the call.... The whole thing stinks of a ******* syndicate operating out of your call centre and they have each other's backs... This is unacceptable and pathetic service. Due to your poor security and ******* call centres, my bank details have been hijacked and someone is running around with a brand new phone that is funded by me. What's worse is I cannot effectively cancel my debit orders without them creating new ones whenever they please. I need someone to get hold of me immediately to resolve this, someone with the authority to sort this out. I trusted you with my bank details but clearly you cannot keep them secure.

My bank account just got debited again for R1000. Please remove me from your system and my banking details immediately! How long does it take to stop a ********* from creating new debit orders with changed reference numbers? I need to be repaid for my losses asap.

I just got debited again for R569! I am reversing these debit orders. This is becoming tiresome and really annoying. Please speed up your ***** investigation and catch these people.

Going round in circles again. Thabisile please call me because I have no way of getting hold of your ***** department. I've just been on the phone to your retentions department as told to by the local cell c branch to urgently cancel my account (I supposedly did this on 23 December 2018 already - apparently this has not been done though...why?!!) Using the ***** reference number and refund number I now have. I need to sort this out asap please. Im still being debited. Call me asap please.

So, today I see a debit order come off my account for R1936...reference Nudebt Cell.....no doubt connected to the call yesterday from Cell Cs debt collectors. Now they have my banking details too! I am appalled at how slowly you have dealt with this. It's been almost 2 months of continued ********** debit orders and now debt collectors calling me and being rude on the phone to me and YOU OWE ME MONEY!!!! MY MONEY!!! Sort this out asap. Get hold of me and restore some faith in humanity for me please. This is now super urgent.
