CELL C SHOCKING CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE- BEWARE

CELL C - BOUND TO SHOCK YOU WITH BAD SERVICE My experience is shocking to say the least and extremely frustrating! I took out a Home router contract with Cell C- only to find my area had no coverage for LTE. Something they should then not have offered. immediately went back to store. Lady wanted to log an out of box faulty on the router although there was in actual fact no coverage. I have whatsapps of me trying to get this cancelled since 16/09/2018 we are now in November. In the meantime it has messed up my credit history as non payments And dont think their customer care email is helpful even after me threatening them with Hello Peter they still dont deal with the issue. This was response extract from lady in Uitenhage Cell C. I know that you took out a contract on 15/09/2018 which was the Home Router. On 16/09/2018 you came back to the store because the router did not work and so I did check and on the Router there is an option for 2.4G Coverage which is not LTE but still did not work. I then booked the Router in for Repairs, which is part of the steps that we must follow, and the Router was OBF Approved In the meantime I tried to cancel the contract where I phoned different Departments and then ended up with the Cancelation Department where Trishen helped me. I then phoned almost every day to follow up on what is happening as the contract was not cancelled and then Thrisen escalated the case, with Reference number: ********** ********** 523964, so that the Router can be cancelled. Thrisen also explained to me why the case took so long is because there was a settlement amount on the system that needs to be paid and that must be removed as the customer does not have to pay the settlement amount. Regards Claurissa CELL C STORE - UITENHAGE www.cellc.co.za After various emails not being responded to for days to the customer care email I eventually received the following email response: Thank you for contacting Cell C. We have received your OBF query . Kindly note that your query has been escalated to the Uitenhage reginal manager for further assistance. Regards, Kelvin Nondabula Cell C Written Correspondence Department REALLY???? PLEASE CHANGE YOUR CUSTOMER RELATIONS EMAIL TO CUSTOMERSWEWILLDISSAPOINTYOU@CELLC i WANT FEEDBACK.

Think about customer care and response before taking out any contracts or you might go through this nightmare !!! It seams that Cell C is not even concerned about bad publicity. I still have no closure on this and it is nearing to another month end. I have sent follow up emails. I have explained that I am currently busy with training and can only be reached via email I have had the following response... and after that nothing i have send emails with my correct cell number as well: Fri, Nov 16, 7:27 AM (4 days ago) to me Dear Mr Paul.Thank you for contacting Cell C on HelloPeter. Firstly we would like to apologies for the inconvenience caused.Please be advised that we are unable to reach you on ********** 452 We have reached feedback from the account department advising that the billing error is currently being fixed.Once the account is amended we will update your ITC profile with the credit bureaus.Regards Mpho
