Cell c refusing upgrade due to Debt Review

I have just tried to upgrade a contract with cell c, i have been with them for years and never missed a single payment. I am currently under debt review, and now cell c is just declined my request to upgrade, yet in november 2021 my upgrade was successful ( i was still under debt review) it just that i was sent the wrong phone so i cancelled the update and decided to wait until they have the iphone i want. They upgraded this contract before while I was under debt review( in Nov 2021), so I do not know what the issue is now. I have never missed a payment. When you call the call centre all they can tell me is that I am due for an upgrade but cant take on new credit! how???? A cellphone contract is not part of the debt review contract, im paying for it every month hence im still getting the benefits. this literally feels like a ************** against people that are under debt review. This is no way to treat a loyal customer, who pays on time everytime.

i waited for months for cell c to have stock on iphones, and now that you have im being told i cant have one. i could have cancelled my contract with cell c months ago but i wanted because i was promised an iphone.

im very disappointed

Hi there 

Thank you for contacting Cell C.
 
Unfortunately, it is as you've been advised. We would not be able to assist with an upgrade while you are still under debt review.
