Debited incorrect amount

As per the email below the consultant did a telephonic upgrade for me and advised that the new debit order amount will be R639 and instead an amount of R847 was debited from my account. No one is able to assist with the matter. I have tried several times to contact Rhulani as she did the upgrade for me. I have had no joy. I even have the upgrade contract stating an amount of R639. Please can someone assist urgently

Good day Ramona.

Please be advised that we do have Samsung S24 plus for R799 per months for 36 months and that we will downgrade the package to the cheapest deal.

We will downgrade it to Smart data 500GB and you will end up paying R639 per months for 36 months.

Kind Regards

Rhulani

I received a call from Ofentse (who is extremely helpful). I did advise her that the consultant who did my upgrade did not advise me about the pro rata amounts or any additional amounts there were to he debited from my account. She advised that she would listen to the call. She called me back to advise that upon listening to the call it was clear the I was not advised about the pro rata payments by the consultant. She then advised that the finance department has declined refunding me for the pro rata fees due to data being used.

How can I as a consumer be charged for something that I was not aware of and was not advised of by the consultant. I was not even aware that there was 500MB of data assigned to me. I don't believe that it is legal or ethical to take money from me which I was not advised about and even now after realizing that your staff member failed to advise me of this important information, I am told that the finance department does not want to refund me.

That extra R208 cost me extra loss of R130 with the bank as the debit order was unpaid due to cell c debuting me for more than they advised.

Can someone at the CEO's level contact me please as I.have been a long standing customer of Cell C and this kind of daylight ******* is not right for me or any other consumer? Dear CEO of Cell C, this is not how you treat loyal customers.

I am still not receiving any joy regarding this matter. I got a call from Ofentse on Monday saying that if I am still unhappy then I should email ***. Cell C is still refusing to deduct the additional pro rata amounts added to my bill. This despite your staff member not advising me about these fees. I will pay the R639 as per my contract but I refuse to pay the pro rate fees as I was not advised of this. Ofentse listened to the call and advised that the consultant did not advise me. So I do not think it is right for me to pay for this.

Can someone at a senior level please stop the debit order on my account until this matter is resolved. You have tired to debit my account again with the incorrect amount and I have been charged another R130 by the bank. Is there anyone in a senior position (above Ofentse) that can assist with this matter!!!

I've contacted the bank and they have requested that Cell C stop the debit order as they will be charging me R130 eveytime you debit. I shouldn't be now paying additional banking charges because of an error from Cell C part.
