Paid for data and got only a 3rd of it

<p>Bought a 3GB bundle data to prevent me from going over my limit and although I paid the full R299 for 3GB, only 1GB was given to me but the money for 3GB was deducted! Because I only have a data contract with Cell C, I have to phone from my cellphone and each call is at least R50,00!<br />I was then told that I am correct, but that the 2GB they owe me will only reflect on my account on 01 December - I NEED IT IN NOVEMBER! I can already see that 1GB is not enough to last until the end of the month, and if I use more than the 1GB which was given to me wrongly instead of 3 GB, I am quite sure you will charge me out of bundle rates - AND I'VE BOUGHT THE 3GB to prevent this.<br />It is unacceptable that I paid immediately for my 3GB, but only received 1GB as that is still not enough to take me to the end of the month.<br />I need TWO THINGS NOW!!!:<br />(1): My remaining and the already paid for missing 2 GB must be allocated immediately.<br />(2): I bought the DataExtenda Recurring bundle but want to cancel that effective end of Nov. 2016. I was told to phone back on 30 November to have that done. I am disabled and getting things done is much more effort than normal, and I need things to run smooth, and I also can't spend more money on lengthy calls from my cellphone. It should be an easy solution to (1) add my missing 2 GB and (2) cancel my DataExtenda Recurring data now already, and the date is just around the corner.<br />I am putting this in writing now as I need the missing data as I am almost out of data and I DON'T need to see an account with out of bundle charges. With this complaint in writing, I strongly suggest you rectify my account first this Monday morning and confirm with me. I have a lot of work to be done ASAP which will require immediate action.<br />If this is not rectified very fast, I am exercising my rights according to the CPA act and cancelling my subscription. I know you have different terms and conditions, but the CPA takes precedence. I sleep late due to my disability so please phone in the afternoon, and don't leave a message but keep on phoning until you reach me.</p>

Reviewer Update

I was called by Derek Makhubele from Cell C and he has been great in solving the issue and suggested a contract that will serve my needs much better and without having to top up fairly frequently so the new data plan is suiting me very well. I trust everything will be done as said, but I made notes of exactly what he said and will send an email to confirm all the details. Thank you Derek for being so helpful and coming up with solutions, it really is refreshing to get good service like this.
