Poor admin ruins my credit record

I had the most annoying and disgusting experience with this lame excuse for a company , whereby an account was opened in my name with invalid charges. Due to lack of payment my credit profile was flagged with a bad payment record. There is no way of contacting their legal or collections department other than through Facebook and their useless customer contact centre. All you get is one big black hole (very appropriate company logo). After 2 months of Facebook chats, still no resolution even though their accounts dept admitted to the fault and promised to reverse the charges and clear my credit profile. This week I received 2 threatening communications from their debt collectors. They handed my account over for a measly R184 which I dont even owe them - by their own admission

Seems their accounts and legal departments dont talk, and then we consumers have to suffer.

This is a very a dishonest and ********* company. Dont give them your hard earned cash.

Reviewer Update
Even though Mpho contacted me on 18 January 2018, he has made a commitment to provide me with resolution and written confirmation that this query has been resolved. This has turned out to be another empty promise from Cell C, as I have still not received any confirmation - more than a week later. Whats worse is that I received another annoying sms from the debt collectors today, yet again after being promised by Mpho (on behalf of Cell C) that he would get the accounts and legal departments to align and ensure that I am not bothered and inconvenienced by these annoyances. I am utterly disgusted by the lack of customer service shown by Cell C and the fact that more than 2 months later I am still fighting this issue, especially since this is due to an admin error on the part of Cell C.

I have still not been contacted by Mpho, and I still continue to receive annoying messages from debt collectors as well as an account from CellC. This proves that nothing has been done about closing my account and retrieving the collection order from the debt collectors. I have to wonder if CellC will ever resolve this dispute. Please contact me urgently, failing which I will have to escalate this matter to the consumer council
