********** agents and bad customer experience

After years of excellent service with Cell C they finally did me dirty and have not stopped. One of their agents tried to upgrade my expired contract and I refused. A few weeks later I got a call claiming that I had taken out a new device, only to find out that it was their own agent who took it for themselves with my details. My bills were messed up and I was reversing debit orders for months. When they finally decided to cancel the ********** account they then messed up my billing and I am now required to pay for the services that I have not used, I was told by an agent that I had not paid my bills in 5 months. I emailed her my bank statement and she never rep****. But I keep getting calls from collections to pay up when I'm supposed to be getting follow-up calls. This is ruining my credit report and I am tired of calling agents who don't care about your enquiry, I've had multiple agents hang up on me whilst trying to explain, sometimes they say the back office will call but nothing happens.

That issue was closed, but it set off a chain reaction of problems. I need my bill to be rectified because my services have been suspended for a few months now and I have not been able to use them, yet I keep getting billed. I tried to cancel my subscription but the agent told me I can't cancel with outstanding payments not received!

1 year later and Cellc still has not fixed my problem. My credit record is ruined and I have just received a call from SSD Attorneys asking me to pay R12k for services that have been under dispute. I never got feedback from Cellc in over a year and every time I call I'm told the back office team will contact me

I was advised to visit the telecommunications ombudsman when this establishment first created a ********** account under my information which I assumed was secure, but I never did that because I figured it was a misunderstanding.

This is just...☹️

My account was disconnected and I was invoiced early termination fees. When I called, if I was lucky the agent would listen and I was told the back office team would contact me, most of the time when I was explaining my story the agents would drop the line on me.
