Changes made to data contract without my knowledge or permission

At the 28 April and early in May 2018 i had called 143 to cancel my data contract which ended on the 4 May. I was told that i would still be billed at the end of May as data is loaded on the 1st of each month. I would get an sms confirming cancelation. This did not happen. I called on the 28th May 2018 at 11h14 and was told the cancelation was not loaded. I confirmed that i had called. The consultant said she would listen to the calls and the person who assisted me would call back. I was also debted and extra amount as my limit was increased without my permission. I did not request this. Hence, also verifying by the recorded calls. At about 13h30 received a call from Tinaye who admitted to me he had increased my limit in error and i was then billed for the extra data. He confirmed my contract would be canceled on the 31 May. He was also told by his line manager that i would not get a refund. I expressed my unhappiness with this as i had not given permission for the changes and at no time was it discussed with me. I was given a reference number as this would now be escalated. Today 31 May 2018 i tried to phone and confirm the cancelation, after 30 minutes the phone is not answered. I then tried 140 and they can't assist but the data contract is still active. So not only are changes **********ly made to my account, my bank **********ly debted and now no one is answering the phone. Service from this department is appalling.

it is now 10/09 1 June 2018 and i have not yet received a response. I had managed to get through to cancellation this morning on 143 and the data contract is still active and more data has been loaded. I have done everything on my side within the correct notice period to cancel this contract. Cell C has messed up and i am suffering the consequences on their inefficiency.

I beyond frustrated with Cell C who still has made no contact other than an email from Maropeng requesting contact details. The matter remains unresolved and it is clear that Cell has no consideration for their customers and its all about making a profit. I have tried the cancelations on 143 again for the upteenth time and i am still waiting for Kriyaan, one of the teal leaders/line manager to contact me. I really cannot understand Cell C's lack of urgency let alone response and making contact.

This matter remains unresolved despite reassurances that it was by Maropeng as once again an unauthorised amount of R358.25 was debited against my account. What will it take for Cell C to stop these unauthorised debits???????

My woes with Cell C are never ending. Unbelievable this still relates to my very first issue regarding the non cancellation of my data contract and the unauthorised debits on my account. Despite Cell C assurances to resolve the matter it remains unresolved. I was promised a refund in 7 days. 17 days later still no refund and once again no response to my query.
