Shoddy business by Cell C!

Cell C terminated my cellphone contract halfway through the term (not happy with my payment history) and forced me to settle off the account. I promptly paid off the account (R8,000) and even got a paid-up latter from Cell C. Yet Cell C went ahead and blacklisted my iPhone, meaning I can’t use it. I retrieved the paid-up letter (on a Cell C letterhead nogal) two days ago and gave it to Cell C for them to remove my phone from the blacklist. Suffice to say I’m still waiting for my phone to be unblocked. I’ve been terribly inconvenienced, and Cell C doesn’t seem to care. Any high flying corporate lawyer keen to take this matter on and assist me to get compensation? This is shoddy business by Cell C. Still waiting for my phone to be removed from the blacklist…

Just to say I'm still waiting for my phone to be un-blacklisted. Point being the account was settled back on the 15th of June 2018. Cell C even sent me a paid-up letter on their letterhead confirming the account was settled (dated 02 July). Yet they went ahead and blacklisted my phone on the 9th of July. Now I have to run around and get police affidavits to get my phone unblacklisted. What was the point of sending me the paid-up latter if they were going to blacklist my phone? This will be the last time I ever have anything to do with Cell C.
