Poor "Security", no options provided for resolution, refusal to transfer

I am trying to cancel a contract but I keep getting told that I am failing my security questions even though I KNOW ALL MY DETAILS. My ID number allows the advisors to open my account and for me to view my statement I know my name (obviously!) and I even read it off my statement I provide my address as per my statement (an old address that I have not lived at for more than 6 years that has not been changed, even though I have asked many times for it to be updated but I provide this and my current address) I know my bank and the date deductions are taken as per my Cell C statement and bank statement I know my email address, it's where my statement gets sent to. So with all this information that pertains to my account and forms my security questions, I do not understand why I cannot access the account and close my contract. I have the concern that someone has **********ly accessed my account and perhaps changed my details which leads to my security failure. Still, no one wants to transfer me to the ***** department BECAUSE I CAN NOT PASS THE SECURITY QUESTIONS. How am I able to verify my details otherwise? I have spoken to 2 managers who were no use. I am not given any options to have my details confirmed correctly. I have sent 2 complaints via the app email. I have provided my payment due as per my statement which was queried as a further question and I still failed, even though I have the statement in front of me. I am being locked out of my own account and being charged for something that I am not being allowed to cancel.

Reviewer Update
After about 6/7 calls I was able to pass security. The question where the have the incorrect answer is now clear although no attempt was made by the people that called me to update it to avoid this issue in future. I was called by 2 people and provided nothing but generic apologies and script lines. My questions and comments were ignored. A obvious flaw in process remains with no escalation for possible *****. I’ve had 6 contracts in as many years and now glad to be done with Cell C. I’m sure this review will get me another call from someone to confirm that my contract was cancelled (by myself with no assistance as a result of my complaints).
