Cell C Repairs - over 2 months

I have booked my cellular device in for repairs at the end of October 2018.

I previously had lost my first device and therefore had to blacklist the device. Cell C then replaced my device as I have insurance on the phone, the new device was then sent into cell c in October in order to repair screen damage. It was then confused with the older device and I was told that repairs will be put on hold until the device is un-blacklisted.

Due to incompetence this took 8 weeks of back and forth calls between myself, cell c call centre, cell c repairs as well as cell c greenstone in order to resolve the confusion. I was then told finally the phone was booked in for repairs 2months later. I am now told that it was not booked in on a claim from the insurance. I have now been told that I will have to pay R1000 odd in order to continue with repairs. Now when I explain that it was done through the claim process at the store, I was told I have to now return to the store and re-do this.

It is now the 7th of January 2019 - almost 2 and a half months since I have booked the device in, I have received no feedback as to the status of my cellphone, I have also had to continue paying my contract for these two months for absolutely nothing.

Would be highly appreciated if Cell C contacts me in order to resolve this matter before I cancel my contract.

Sincerely a loyal 3 year customer

Reviewer Update
Hi, I had received a message from Cell C Repairs that my device had been dispatched on the 18th of January 2019. I followed up with Cell C Greenstone for two weeks to find out if the device had been received. Whenever my call was not ignored I was told that it was not there and I will receive an SMS when they receive it, that didn't happen because only when I called today the feedback I received was that the phone was now in stores however it was not repaired as C-surance did not answer the call to for cell c to give them the quote and process this through the claim. I then called C-surance and spoke to a lady by the name of Sbongile who had said that there was no claim for the cell phone to be repaired and that Cell C Greenstone did not send the claim through. She then emailed me the claim form in order for me to get this sorted. In my frustration I then drove from work, in Randburg and went to Cell C Greenstone in Edenvale to find out what exactly is going on as I am absolutely sick and tired of this back and forth through phonecalls, was told I needed to wait for Vinah tomorrow as she is the one who processed the claim and is not in today. I then left and drove back to work, I went through my mails to find that Vinah had actually sent the claim through and received confirmation back from C-surance confirming that they would get back to her in 24H. I have emailed this mail trail as well as my claim form to Sbongile and have asked that her superior contact me today as C-surance has blatantly **** to me and have had my device for 3-4 months and due to their incompetence have not repaired the device. I am still waiting... please do not tell me that I must wait once again for my phone to be repaired? Absolutely unacceptable!! What am I paying for? Should I withhold payment again or rather cancel the contract entirely?
