Debit Penalty Fee - ****

I have a cell c contract and its been ok until this month. I called the contact centre on the 1st of April enquiring on the reason they had not taken their money like the end of February only to be advised by one of their call centre agents Nhlanhla that I should wait 24hrs just to ensure the double payment like the end of February does not go off.

Today I receive my statement and low and behold - a debit penalty fee. Now listen if I had a decline fee on my statement I would understand but I saw no decline fee. I call the contact centre and Angel answers and she advises that Cell c tried to debit my account - but where is the decline fees?

Don't be out here trying to **** people's accounts with penalty fees lona!

Not you guys saying I must go to Newtown Junction to seek a refund for the reversal. Your social media team is useless. I was speaking to Philisiwe and she says I must go the Newtown store to get the penalty fee reversed. I made an IB payment and was not advised of the reflection date.

Your service is the worst!

Its the 19th and i haven't been contacted
Instead my account was debited on the 15th when i was explicitly told by Philisiwe that my new debit order date will be effective next month. You guys suck big time. Refer to that hour long call i had with Philisiwe. Now i will have to pay penalty fees when the error is on your side. *******!!
