Stay AWAY FROM CELL C ****MERS, *********** AGENTS!!!!

Cell C Collections department apparently does not exist. Yet theyvare about to ruin my credit record with wrongful listings. My contract is religiously paid for account no. ***. Customer care refuses to send statements spoke to Ntando Mpunzi, Nondumiso Mngadi both useless but the 3red one Nompumelelo takes the cup. She puts me on hold as if she is assist me puts microphone on mute when she comes back. And says hello i cant hear you . Due to the nature of this call it must end thank you for calling cell c customer care on 084 135. Poor *******. !!! Your staff cant even provide me with my account statement from January 2022 till JULY 2023 . Send me the damn statements and get someone from this ****** cellc collections to give me a call since they dont have a number!!!!!!

Don't bother apologizing!!!
Go to Beam download my statements and send them via my email address !!

Your escalations go nowhere hence why customers opt to go via ombudsman when communicating with you!!

If your ****** excuse of a company hands me over wrongfully you will be hearing from the ombudsman.

Your *********** agents are failing to provide me with my bank statements from the start of my contract. I have my proof of my payments yet you dont have a line to update it. Pathetic and useless!!!

Guys!! CellC . Please do not make the mistake of joining Cell C . I'm trapped in this nightmare of a company.

Failing tondo such a simple thing as to allocate payments correctly ! Then they just keep adding R70 for late payment .

Payments done on time .

2nd June paid 500
28th June paid 500 For July
18th July paid 445 paid for August

Mind you my contract is on top up for R439 per month.

Now , the excuse is that you have not received the Email?? Cell C surely there is a better excuse. Collections gave me a lame excuse that an email sent by me can only be seen in they system after 15mins which is ludacris as emails come immediately. Now the person with an email says they never received it. Even though i provided a direct time when email was sent

  1. Failure to allocate payments done prior debit order date which is the last day of the month . Thereafter, adding a R70 for late payment when payments are done early.
  2. Received email from collection department about my account. Provided them with proof of payments and asked them to update my account . Agent said she will call me in 15mins . This was not done.
  3. Now i am sending emails to the email given now you claim to not receive emails?

What is so hard about updating the payments made. Let alone removing the R70 late payment fees as you have seen the proof of the payments i made which were done waaaayy before the debit order date which is the last day of the month.

Is your main purpose to ruin my credit profile??? I've been having this issue that seems to be rocket science when it comes to you resolving it. GET IT DONE!!!!

This is crazy. My payments were done before the debit date! So what R70 charge is for an unpaid debit order when i made payment before debit date??? This is Ludacris!!! Send my updated statement immediately!!!! Unblock my lines as all payments were received!!!

Hopefully the people can see your blatant refusal to provide me with my correct UPDATED statement!

Now since the payments "have been allocated". I now owe them an unpaid debit order of R70 even though EFT payment wasvdone on 18the JULY and debit date is Last day of the MONTH.

Guys!!! I can not stress this enough. I travel late by myself with my car from work . Should I have an emergency or Lord forbid get hijacked i cannot even make calls due to CELL C suspending my line wrongfully.


They are even refusing to send me my correct updated statement . They now see payments were done way before the time and now they are saying i owe an unpaid debit order.


Their so called agents run away from me by misleading me and telling me they will call in 15mins and they do not. I even gave them the name and ref number.


All they say is they will get back to me!!

I have asthma and cannot be without a phone. MY LINE IS STILL UNBLOCKED YET MONEY WAS PAID!!!!!!!!!

STOP TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR USELESS AGENTS AND SEND MY STATEMENT!!!

Good day

Please note that I spoke to Bongiwe who resumed my line.

Here is the issue, she provided me with probably a **** ref no .***.

Now that i ask for a sn number she refused.

Apparently the payment for July 18th was not appearing, mind you, payment for July 18th was intending for August.

Sent her the proof she resumed my line .

I then asked who is responsible for this R70 you guys added for a failed debit oreder. Even though payment was done early and they have failed to change payment method.

Why am i the one that is suffering for your failure Cell C???!!!?

Not only that I had requested for it to be changed to eft numerous times but still that has not been done.

I paid the contract amount for August on the 18th of July .

Please save yourself the nightmare of dealing with these and do not think of taking out a contract.

Your escalations are not helping.

Who is responsible for this R70 that i was charged for a FAILED DEBIT ORDER while payment was done EARLY. A result of your agents incompetence.

Who is responsible for your teams failure of changing my payment method to EFT!!!!


CELL C IS A NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH !!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Send me a proper statement with my correct statement as i do not owe anything!

2. Remove the R70 failed debit order charge as a result of your incompetence of allocating payments correctly and your agents nt changing payment method.

This one is rude and hangs up after telling me calls are recorded for security and legal purposes. Then says are you aware that your CellC account is in arrears?.

So a normal human would say 'yes' but because i have worked in a similar industry I knew they tried to make me admit I am owing them for their "recording" I then asked her are You seriously trying that trick she hangs up !!!

Guys , 1st you have *********** people calling me and now you have assigned your agents to try and trick me into saying yes for the recording?!!!

People do yourself a favor and stay away from CELL C!!!!!

From the 28th of July they have failed to fix their mistakes. They either get agents who are clueless to call me or i get their agent who try to trick me into admitting there is an amount owing.

Guys, in all honesty, they lie. Said they sent the query to management then they get their clueless agents to give me a call when pressed with questions they end up hanging up.

They are the most *********** service provider i have ever came across.

1.They refused to change from capitec bank to eft and low and behold their agents say i dont have a valid reason.
I no longer use the bank account. 2 months of them refusing to change it.

2. They have not updated the my payments made prior and only resumed my line.

3. I am instead, bombarded with agents who call me and try trick me to saying yes i owe them money. Some say R518 some say R1027 yet i paid for August on the 18th July. They just want to keep adding R70 for a failed debit order even though payment was done more than 5 days earlier.

Remove the R70 you *******ly added as there are recordings of my request to have the account changed to eft 2 months back and your agents saying they have notified collections and yet do not change it.


4 . I have had this query open for 25 days and they are yet to do the right thing and resolve it. If this is not enough proof to NOT DO BUSINESS with this company!!

I am still waiting for the letter with your heading stating the amount I owe to cell c.

Include the months where i supposedly did not pay. I asked for this before close of business.

Please note the company is still refusing to change from debit order to eft.

The reason that i no longer make use of the account is not valid according to their collections team.

Just more ways of how they **** me. Adding R70 chargers when you have been informed the debit order will failbas i no longer use the account.

You clearly see I always pay by EFT yet they refuse so they can keep adding R70.


Send my letter with the supposed amount now!!!!!
