PATHETIC SERVICE BY CELL C !!!

I will never recommend that anyone take out a cell c contract. I have had my contract for almost two years. Even though i have a debit order against my account. There are months that they do not take and then take a double instalment the next month. This month they debited me for a missed payment in March and then debited me for March and april on the 30th. They then proceeded to debit me again (double instalment) on the 2nd of May. I have furnished them with proof, Nobody comes back to you regarding the refund, Everytime you call, you get given a different story. Its been three days since i have furnished them with proof and nobody from Cell C has had the courtsey to phone and advise what is going on. After waiting 20 minutes to speak to someone. They cannot help. Case numbers allocated have been closed, Nobody can give me an answer. When i ask to speak to someone in charge call gets dropped.

So another delay. I have been told 24-48 hours since Wednesday, Today is Friday. By the time you refund me the next payment has gone off. I pray to that it wont be a double deduction again. I would also like to point out that because of the double deduction of R1180.00, my credit card is overdrawn. Who is going to pay the interest and fees that i have incurred, Everyday there is just a further delay with Cell C. If im lucky, i will hear from Cell C by Tuesday and when am i going to get the refund, 5/7 days afterwards. I am really fed up and i am going to take this matter to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa. Why must i beg for the refund

No timeframe given again??!! So i must just patiently wait for a call whenever that may be??
I have been waiting for a call back from Cell C since Monday. i wont hold my breath. It seems to me that nobody at Cell C is prepared to pick up the phone and given me a response. Are you scared to use your airtime but don't mind me wasting mine
Your vague response is just upsetting me more and you are leaving me no option but to take this matter to ICASA.

I have furnished your agent with a statement for the 31 March 2024 to 8 May 2024 and clearly marked on the statement where the double debit was made, Without even looking at the statement, she is requesting an April statement, yet April is included in the statements i have sent Cell C. it appears that nobody at Cell C want to resolve this matter. I am tired of begging for my refund. I am going to send all the emails and call logs to ICASA as it appears that i have a better change of getting my refund then.
