CELL C PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE is like the CURE FOR COVID 19 IT DOESNT EXSIST, FOR A SIMPLE PAID UP LETTER.

I am totally appalled by the service or lack of service received from cell c & the consultants and management at the cell C call center. All i needed was a letter stating that my Cell C account is paid up a simple paid up letter and to this hour not 1 person at Cell C was able to help.

i have spoken to more than 30 people at Cell C, including Fezekile, Stembiso, Bongikile, Londiwe, Lilly, Mathombe, Buthle, Nora, Another Stembiso, Busi, Mpho, Siyabonga, Kabelo, Kathlego, Another Katlego the team leader, another stembiso, and Paballo, and out of all these people all that i have gotten thus far, is the run around, i have been shunted from pillar to post, from the north to the south pole, each consultant and each team leader telling me about their internal issues, and their internal TATs each one explaining that they understand, and giving me the empathy they have been taught so well to give but each one not listening to what is required, and those are the ones who actually listen i mean lets rephrase the ones that actually hear me, then you get the ones like stembiso , or matoba, or lilly that doesnt know what to do with me so they either hang up or put me through to the automated "rate the service received" i so wish for the QA team to go and have a listen to the number of calls that have been dropped in my ear or blind transfered or routed through to the rate my service machine. oh or they refer me to external legal departments include Shapiro and Blake and whatever associates, who confirm that my account is not with them and has been settled at Cell C. oh or they advise me that the matter is with the internal legal department, but forgetting the fact that their legal department is working from home and getting through to them or getting a response from them is basically like climbing mount Kilimanjaro just to get a simple paid up letter. a letter which shouldn't even take 5 min to draft,.

i have called in for the paid up letter since Monday, and each person keeps telling me about 48 Hours, but 48hours from when ? from the time that i speak to them because the turn around time is basically nuil in void, i have also request it to be escalated, oh it has been escalated 4 times already and twice by the team leaders and still to this hour no assistance , and no paid up letter.

Oh and when speaking and explaining my frustration the team leaders seem very blaze about my situation and you can clearly hear either the frustration in their voices or the grin on their faces, and each one just says they will try, try to flag it or escalate it, BUT the fact that getting a simple thing like a paid up letter from Cell C is like finding the cure for Covid 19.

My request is simple, BUT URGENT i need a paid up letter from Cell C.

and still to this hour no one has assisted me ? i called the call center again and was on the phone for 25 min , spoke to a Khanyisile, because apparently Phaballo is on calls with other clients but still hasnt returned my call ? oh on calls with other clients because i am not the only client, oh and according to Khanyisile there is no other team leader only Phaballo. Khanyisile keeps telling me that i have to understand and i have to listen, and then when she doesnt get me to understand or to listen she places me on hold with no explanation , but no one at Cell C has to send my paid up letter? not 1 person ?

so please explain to me if shortly means shortly like in normal laymens terms or if it means shortly in Cell C terms which could mean anything from now to they kingdom come....

so up to this hour i have still not received my paid up letter from Cell C, after them confirming that my letter was being drafted and that i would receive the letter shortly,

Never mind that , after speaking to several consultants that have ****, i spoke to the Team leaders who also lies, looks like Cell C is just a Sh#t show based on a number of *****, looks like the qualifying criteria at Cell C to get a job is to be a good ****.

Because the 1 consultant said that there is only 1 team leader in the entire call center yet i have spoke to 2 , so i dont know if the other one is a ghost of what?

i spoke to Phaballo who advised that he would call me back by 11 this morning with feedback on my letter, it is now almost 1pm and i still havent received feedback.

i spoke to Katlego who said that when i sent him the email yesterday he had already knocked off, when i asked him what time he knocks off his reply was at 3:30 but the emails were sent to him at 1:00pm yesterday, amazing,

Oh but that doesnt surprise me because cell c time is clearly from another Dimension.

oh and then katlego says he is doing his best to assist me, he is pushing, when asked how he is pushing hes reply was he sent an email yesterday and he will send one today. WOW talk about going the extra mile. never mind that, i was told that the turn around time for receiving the paid up letter would be 48 hours, when i spoke to Katlego hes turn around time for the paid up letter is 7 - 21 working days. amazing another thing at Cell C that doesnt add up...

so the TAT that went from 48hours to 7 - 21 working days depending on who i am on the call with.

the motto at Cell C should be we wing it, they wing it as they go along.

i am still waiting for the Paid up letter from cell c that has thus far taken 5days.

another day , and the 48hours turn around time is long gone, i have called in again today to request the paid up letter sence no one came back to me yesterday, and since then all that has happened is that i am on the phone now since 10:45 almost 3 hours, holding for some assistance, i am currently on the phone with another team leader, who only came to the phone advising that he has spoken to Senior Management who is "Ntombi" and she advises that the best thing she can do is escalate the matter o Monday, so the 48 hour turn around time is nuil in void. because i called in on Monday that passed and i was told that after the proof of payment is sent it will take 48 hours in which to send the paid up letter, i supposed the 48 hours TAT, or any TAT at Cell C for that matter means nothing, as i have still not been assisted. disgusted by the service and the lack of urgency from Cell c.
