CONTRACTS RENEWED WITHOUT CLIENTS CONSENT

Every time my 87year old mother's contract expires, someone from Cell C call, her and despite her not giving permission, they renew the contract. This is not the first time I post about it on Hello Peter, because calling them does not help and my mom is bed ridden and cannot go to a Cell C shop. She has no stopped her debit order and they have suspended her cellphone. So will someone from Cell C please call me or we will go to the ombudsman and you will play the recording that you were supposed to have made. Furthermore, you have now left an elderly lady without communication should she need help. Shame on you Cell C...this is how you treat a customer who have been loyal for 20 years. Failing you rectifying this we will just het another number and then you can hand her over and we will force you to play the recording where she was supposed to agree to the recording in court. I dare you! BELOW SEE A COPY OF THE SAME COMPLAINT IN 2022

Cor L 15 reviews | Active since Nov 2015 23 Nov 2022 at 16:10 CELL C WANT YOU TO CANCEL. THEY ARE BEGGING YOU TO WITH THE *********** STAFF. If it was possible to give less than 1 star I would have. A consultant called my 85-year-old mother and conned her into upgrading the unlimited cell c contract. I called them to reverse and after much time wasting, I got a reference number and was told they would call me. A week later I called again and was told the upgrade was reversed. Two hours later I got an SMS saying the contract was upgraded and the new upgrade date is now 2024. Called them 3 times since then and got from one *********** person to another. This happened two years ago as well and then it also took a huge effort to reverse.

After being a Cell C client for 10 years and paying R900 a month every month without ever missing a payment I am now cancelling me and my mom's contract.

Maybe this will get someone at CELL C to react...but I highly doubt it. Reply (2) Cell C’s reply 23 Nov 2022 at 16:57 Good day JP DOEN

So your solution to this is to call my 87 year old mother every second day and ask her questions? This after I said in the reference section of my previous post to please call me as well and also gave my number? And now you send her an SMS saying she owes money and will be handed over? This is your solution ...to threaten and elderly lady who is bed ridden and have dementia? AND THIS FOR R250!! you threaten her with the credit bureau? I will change her number today. Please take her to court, I will be there. And I will show the records that this has happened in 2020, 2022 and now again. Please check your records After 10 years I ported my R1000 per month contract because you did the same to me in 2020 and 2020. YOU don't care about loosing loyal customers . and you will not treat my mother this way. You are truly disgusting. See you in court
