Cell C steels money by adding services to invoice without authorisation

Cell C committed ***** by billing me for 3rd party services without my knowledge or authority.

They called it content services and invoiced me from May 2018 till my contract expired in September 2018.

After several requests they send me a homemade document containing my number, a unknown service and a activation date from July to August while they invoiced and charged me from May to September as proof that I authorised the service.

After several calls, emails and empty promises they still failed to stop the service or refund me. Cell C also informed me that it’s not them charging me but a 3rd party and I must resolve the issue with them. This is while Cell C invoice me and took my money.

After going through my agreement terms the Cell C subscription rules states the following: “Prior to being granted access to the Content, you will be required to confirm your acceptance of the associated fees by completing Cell C’s double opt-in process. No billing will take place against your account and you will not receive any Content until this double opt-in process is completed.”.

After asking them for legal proof and the double opt in proof they ignored my request and stopped replying to my requests.

Good morning Rupert 

Cell C did not add you on any content services. As per communication, Moses contacted you and provided you with feedback. He investigated the matter with WASPA and sent a confirmation email with the outcome.

Regards

So why did Cell C bill me then for content services? Because they want to? The invoice line item read Content services. Moses sent me a invalid homade document as per my review. Something a 12 year old can duplicate on a mobile phone. He did not respond to my request to send me proof of the double opt in procedure. This is part my agreement with Cell C that the double opt in must be completed before Cell C can proceed with the service. Obviously Cell C do not comply with their own rules because they failed to complete the double opt in procedure with the client. Send me proof of the double opt in please.

No further communication / feedback from Cell C. As requested, legal proof required. The **** document you supp**** have a lot of incorrect information and is not considered as a binding agreement. As requested please send me the double opt in proof where the client must complete the process before it will be authorised by Cell C as per Cell C's contract conditions. Without the above requested Cell C do not have the necessary proof that the client requested the services and was not authorised to bill the client for unauthorised services and need to refund the client.
