UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE FROM DANIEL PILLAY CLAIMING TO BE FROM CELLC

I have just received a phone call from a Daniel Pillay from the number *** claiming to be from CellC. He advised that my CellC contract had expired last month and he was wondering why I had not upgraded my contract. I told him that I had given CellC written notice to terminate my contract when it expired and to change my contract to a “pay as you go”. He asked how I had advised CellC. I told him that I had given them written notice by e-mail. He told me that CellC do not accept written notice by e-mail; you have to personally phone them to give them notice. I told him that that was totally unacceptable as in the past I had always given written notice by e-mail and he must send me written proof that CellC had given me written notification that they no longer accepted written notice of non-renewal of contracts by e-mail and that I had to phone them. He told he that he was not prepared to speak to me as he did not like my tone of voice. I asked to speak to his boss. He said that he does not know who his boss is. Over and over he told me that he does not know who the boss of CellC is. I told him that I was not asking him who the “boss of CellC” is, I was asking who his boss is, the person to whom he reports. He said that he did not know. After asking him numerous times for the name of his boss and him telling me that he did not know who is boss is, he told me that he only knows the name of his manager but that he refused to put me through to his manager. I said that if he did not put me through to his manager, that would not be a problem, I would contact the CellC CEO’s office in this regard. He then told me that his manager was Shawn and he would put me through. I held on for ages and ages until he cut me off. Every time that I tried to call the number from which he had phoned i.e. ***, it said that the number did not exist. I look forward to hearing from CellC in this regard.

Hi Lesley 

The number that contacted you is not from Cell C. 
Please advise on the contract number in question.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING SERVICE FROM CELLC
Within a very short time of writing the report on Hello Peter. I received communication from CellC. This was after office hours, which I consider excellent service.
First thing this morning an absolutely outstanding representative from the CellC CEO's office contacted me. As I thought, Daniel Pillay does not work for CellC and possibly works for an outsourced company.
I have been so very blessed over all my years as a CellC customer with many CellC contracts, due to the number of people in our family, to deal with a very special person in the CEO's office at CellC. This man knows what SERVICE EXCELLENCE is all about. Over the many years, he has phoned me when he is away on holiday if I have a problem. He has phoned me in his private time if I have a problem over the weekend. HE KNOWS WHAT EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALL ABOUT. He does not care that I am an unimportant little person, he just gives the very best service at all times. Thank you to CellC for having an amazing, awesome person in the CEO's office who believes in giving of his best at ALL times; that means even while he is on holiday, even while he is enjoying quality time with his family over the weekend or when he is at work.
I am truly blessed to be able to reach out and get this wonderful service from CellC. Now we wish that CellC would open a CellC store on the South Coast once again.
