Cell C - Unfailingly and consistently ***********.

It seems CELL C is only competent when they want you to upgrade your contract or sign you up to some new promotion.

I upgraded my contract and requested the cancellation of insurance on my old phone as I no longer needed it to be insured. (I also did not want my new phone insured).

Cell C in Cavendish Square (Claremont) assisted me through this process. They proceeded to NOT cancel the insurance and instead keep taking funds from my account. After numerous attempts of getting it stopped (and reimbursed), they reimbursed me for the single month that it had occurred and assured me everything was sorted out (insurance cancelled).

It was not.

For the last 5 months my account has been debited for R119 per month for insurance on a phone that I do not own or use any longer. I've tried too many times, with too many call agents and too many hours spent trying to fix a Cell C stuff up... this is unacceptable. Apart from *****ing my money every month, they are *****ing my time. I'm considering invoicing them for the time I've spent on fixing THEIR mistakes...

I've sent emails with screenshots of all the debits and nothing has been done. I need the insurance cancelled and reimbur*****t for the months from April through August @ R119 per month ASAP.

Thank you.

It has been almost 2 weeks with no result. I've been a loyal customer of Cell C for many years now. The cost of 1 month of my current contract with them far exceeds what they need to reimburse me for their mistakes, so how this this taking so long?? Reimburse me for the monies owed, and then solve whatever needs to be solved internally. This should not take this long, nor require this much input from my side for their mistakes. This is absolutely ridiculous and terrible customer service.

Good day Alex Trust you are well . Please be informed we have made contacted with cell c Claremont and they advised that they do not have any proof of cancellation from their end that was sent to us . Unfortunately we are unable to refund you as there is no trace that confirms a request was put through to csurance . Kind regards, < I removed name of employee> ------------------ All this proves is that Cell C did not do what they were supposed to do. They were supposed to cancel my insurance. I have email threads confirming reimbur*****t from Cell C as well as the actual reimbur*****t for the month of March 2018 for when they neglected to cancel the insurance. This proves they made mistakes in cancelling my insurance and need to reimburse me. Let's hope they sort this out and don't deduct any more money from me on the 15th of September. Please advise !?
