pathetic service from cellc

<p>i lost my phone on 28 June 2017 so when i got home i called cellc customer service from my wifes phone and they suspended my contract and blacklisted my phone, which was all fair and well. i was then asked to get a case number and an affidavit with a copy of my ID and submit it to my nearest cellc branch which i did the very next day. to date i have tried calling the insurance division 12 times 7 of those times i stayed on the line for 15 to 20 minutes only listening to voice promts but never being assisted. i sent 2 emails to Csurance but nobody called me even though the automated response email says they will contact me within 24 hours. i have no cell phone now but they did not fail to coolect on the insurance and monthly contract payment on 30 June 2017 i have made so m any job applications and my wife is pregnant all of the contact numbers and vital infomation that was backed up on my phone cant be accessed. Cellc truly sucks i am so disappointed with the service.</p>

i agree that there was communication and yes there was assistance. the claim was eventually put through, but this is my third week without a cellphone. i also tried contacting Csurance again 5 emails were sent in the past 3 days i have not received a response to date. i cannot do banking i cant pay for things my kids need because all my apps were set on my phone. i had to call the Cellc branch in greenstone mall to check if the phone was delivered to them but they told me that they cant assist because they follow the same channels when trying to contact Csurance. the lady that spoke to me told me it will be a very long wait because of the poor service delivery from the insurance division. if this is known to Cellc why is there nothing being done. the email i received on friday last week said that i should receive my new phone within 5 working days. i will wait till friday this week and i will surely have no choice but to seek a legal remedy to solve this. please see the attached email trail.

To date still no response from both Cellc or thier insurance division. nobody seems to have any idea how to assist me when i call customer care, needless to say that the insurance division only plays voice prompts and they have not responded to a single mail in the past 2 weeks. the only time they were willing to correspond with me was when they asked for an access fee to be paid which i did the same day there after i cant get a hold of anyone to assist me. even though my sim is suspended and i have no phone. the insurance was still deducted this month and Cellc did not fail to deduct the contract fees, how convinient is that!!! i truly am disgusted with the kind of service and treatment from Cellc. they havent even responded to my last hello peter complaint.

The past 2 months have been a ridiculous run around and just when i thought the drama was over Cellc replaced my lost phone with a brand new phone that is defective. i have called the insurance division to no avail, i sent an email to which they responded telling me to return t he new phone to the store i picked it up from. I did just that and they had the audacity to tell me the brand new phone must be repaired, is that not a ********* and devious thing to do. should they not have replaced the phone? anyway now the phone was returned and they told me all is fine I in good faith took the phone back and to my surprise nothing was done as the phone is still freezing and still mixes my applications up etc. i sent another email to c-surance to which i got no feedback to date. i am so disgusted with this network. i will be sure to not upgrade my contract with them again as my contract does end soon. i was without a phone for almost 2 months with picking up and returning the device, they never failed to charge me for insurance nor did they fail to collect on service fees and they had no issue with charging me an excess fee, but gave me a brand new broken device.

So i was told to expect communication in the above message. to date i have not been contacted. is Cellc trying to pull time so that they no longer have to deal with me for the defective phone they gave me? Cellc is completely aware that my contract ends at the end of this month and i am pretty sure they are trying to get out of this by waiting for my contract to end so that they don't have to deal with it. after all they have made enough money out of me with insurance and the unimaginable data prices and call billing etc.
