*********** staff can't help me renew my contract.

I have been a customer of Cell C for many years, however, I am now extremely frustrated by their *********** staff. I have been trying to renew my contract since June 16th. I have been to a store in person and I have also called the Customer Care line on numerous occasions. When I visited the Tygervalley store on 16 June, I was told my account shows a missed payment, but the assistant also told me that he could see on the system that it was an error. I pay by debit order every month. He informed me, that as it was a Public Holiday, it could not be rectified immediately, but that it be done on the following Monday. I have since then phoned the Customer Care line numerous times, every time being told that the system still shows the missing payment, but that someone would contact me once it is resolved. Needless to say, this never happened. I made yet another attempt today to renew my contract. I was repeatedly asked for a proof of payment, but no matter how much I explained that I pay by debit order and that I am not in arrears, nor am I able to provide a proof of payment as I don't even know when this so-called arrears occurred. I have already cancelled 2 of my 3 Cell C contracts out of frustration and I now considering moving to another service provider alltohether.

Dear Simone Kay Thank you for contacting Cell C regarding upgrading your contract. Please receive our apologies for the unpleasant experience received thus far,

The request has been escalated to our team for further assistance. Regards ^MN

Since the time of posting 5 days ago, nothing has happened. So exactly what does it mean if your request is escalated? This is the umpteenth time it has supposedly been escalated.
I am really starting to think Cell C could not care less about retaining clients.

Today is 10 August. I have not heard a peep from your support team. I expect a senior staff member to phone me today.

I never said there was a refund due!!!!!!!! My problem is that I am unable to renew my contract due to my account showing arrears!!!!! Please, this is not rocket science. Just sort it out already. I have been struggling for almost 3 months now.

will that happen in this century? I have received that promise at least 3 times before and still no call. I don't believe this anymore.

Yet again your staff shows a remarkable ability to frustrate and disappoint. I received a call from Neliswa Koi. She informed me that my account was handed over due to arrears. This was news to me. I have received no communication in this regard. I then asked her for a detailed statement for the past year. What I received was utter garbage. A few columns with no headings in the body of the email, not attached. The statement dates are from 2017 - NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!!! It also appears to be for a number I do not recognise, an 061 number which I have never had. I am not going to let this rest, even if I have to go lay a charge of *****, as there is clearly something untoward going on.
