Disgusting Service....Urgent action needed

I write this with immense frustration, I recently went to your Cell C sandton City store for purchase of Samsung Galaxy Note 10. I was applying for contract for the first time and had never app**** before.

I have my SA ID but I received it only 3 months ago in June. Hence there is no credit score or history on it. Being a foreign national I was then asked by the sales person to submit my passport ,payslip and 3 months bank statement. I got a call from the cell c sales person and he said that there is no credit score on my passport. I called TransUnion and they confirmed that my credit score was on my old passport and they haven’t updated the information with my new passport. I shared the same information with Cell C sales person. He asked me to submit the copy of my old passport and I did so. I also submitted my permanent residence permit along with my old permit.

When I go to the store I am told by the sales person that my credit is declined and they reported my application as ********** application. I wanted to understand on what basis inspire if giving all right documents was my application **********. The sales person was also shocked as he had seen all the originals and checked the documents before submitting. When I wanted to speak to the credit supervisor he clearly refused and said he does not know why the consultant report it as *****. She is not in office and can only find out once she comes back next week.

This has been the most frustrating experience, I want to understand the reason why my application was **********

I anticipate urgent response in this matter

Good morning  Shubhangi 

Apologies for the manner in which the matter was dealt with.

We have escalated it to the Senior manager for the relevant store.  Do expect communication soon.

Reviewer Update
The store manager was contacted by the sales person on Saturday. He had left for the day. He did not even speak to us on call. He asked me to write a complaint to customer service. I did write to customer service and got a auto response that someone will assist in 48 hours.
No one is bothered about customer experience. If the customer wants to talk neither the store manager nor credit supervisor wants to talk. I got a response that they don’t talk to clients. I need urgent resolution on this.
