Paying for Cell C's incompetance
Cell C sold me a contract telephonically and delivered my device. Supp**** them with gps coordinates of my location and they assured me service. Since the first day of receiving the device in November i have had problems. After numerous complains since then they have admitted to not having service in my area and is prepared to cancel my contract but want me to pay R16000 for the device which is not like new anymore. I can understand that, but they should not have sold me the contract in the first place and took more than two months to figure out where they dont have service. I have voice recording of them confirming they have service in my area which they now admit they dont, and of all my correspondance with them. I am not paying R16000 for their mistake and want to be refunded for paying for a service that doesnt exsist. It should be fair to be reinbursed for the inconvience and additional cost incurred to get service from other networks to prevent loss of business from having an incompetend network during my period of agreement. What can i do?
