CELL C IS DISHONEST AND RUDE

I was due for an upgrade on my router data plan and I was called to upgrade in July 2022. On my previous plan I paid less than 300 per month for 30gigs of data devided into 20 gigs day time data and 10 gigs night time data. When I upgraded I was offered the same deal at 298. I was billed correctly in August 2022 but suddenly billed 587 in September 2022. When I called customer service to get to the bottom of this I was rudely that the 587 was the package deal I took. I asked to cancel the contract and was told I'll have to pay 7000 which I can't afford. My case was escalated to the billing department which called me back 6 days later and not within the 2 working days I was assured. Ref ***. When I was speaking to the billings department lady she too rudely told me that all my discounts were loaded and that the 578 was my bill. I tried to explain to her but she wouldn't have it. I asked to cancel the contract she told me I need to pay 7000 as well but I didn't understand why I had to pay that much money as I didn't take a device. I'm using my old router she refused to break down the 7000 cancelation fee and instead said she'll escalate my case to the finance department which will call me within 2 days. Its been 3 days and they haven't called and she didn't even give me my reference number. I have been with cell C for years and now I'm highly disgusted with their services. Their consultants are rude and will do anything for a sale. I was **** to and now I'm expected to pay this bill. I have 2 kids below the ages of 2 I can't afford to pay 587 a month. This is unfair and whe I try to get it fixed, I'm set pillar to post. Don't take up contracts with Cell C, just don't. They are beyond rude😭

The above information is still very much unclear. Which month is the 24th month and in which year? So I need to wait for the statement and yet you are still making attempts to debit the very same 587 amount from my account. Lastly, you said I need to confirm "if" I will get credited the difference that was not discounted, what if I don't get discounted? Do I need to call again and have my case be escalated from Cape to Cairo before I can get any real assistance? Why am I not receiving my statements via email as I had selected that I would like them emailed to me on the email address provided? Calling your customer care is emotionally exhausting, more especially when you know you'll be talking to someone who's rude but expects you to be good and rate their service.

Your consultant called at 09:35 and I kept on saying hello but no one responded on the other line. When I called back the phone just kept ringing. Sure hope it won't take you 6 days to call back again
