Upgrade Cancellation nightmare!

Good day, I cancelled a contract done as an upgrade with Cell C two months ago and it is still not sorted out. I called Cell C 6/10/2022 to notify them of the cancellation on the day I received the phone. The phone was not what I was expecting and hence my cancellation. The phone was picked up and returned to Cell C. I even sent an email to Cell C on the same day indicating my cancellation of the upgrade and to keep my current contract. I even called Cell C and requested for my current contract to be kept as is so that I could upgrade to the phone I wanted. To my surprise the upgrade was not cancelled yet the phone was returned. When I tried to do an upgrade online, I am informed that I can only upgrade in 2025! Also, Cell C debited my account for the full amount for the new upgrade on the 1/12/2022. How is that Cell C can do an upgrade within an hour but to cancel a contract it is such a schlep! The consultants will assure you that we have the right to cancel but will stress “before the 5 day” clause. I am now stuck with an unfair upgrade with no new phone and I cannot do anything about it! My numerous calls and emails to Cell C is falling on deaf ears, so I asked my bank to reverse the debit order. I gave Cell C enough time to sort out the issue. Now that I reversed the debit order, I am now receiving SMS's indicating that I haven’t paid my account. If Cell C cannot sort out this issue, they can cancel my contract and I will go elsewhere and get a new contract. This is so frustrating! Kind Regards Jenny Naidoo

Good day, I am extremely frustrated with the service from Cell C. I have requested for the cancellation of the upgrade as indicated in my previous complaints. After writing on Hello Peter, I had 4 consultants call me to assist me with my query. I had to repeat my sorry story to all 4 of them. They all acknowledged the problem and promised that the issue would be resolved. I One would expect that the issue would be resolved and life would continue! However, that’s not the case, Cell C now debits my account for the new contract on 13 December 2022 and still have not updated my upgrade status. I received an SMS indicating that my upgrade date is in 2025!!!! it’s a simple thing, cancel the upgrade that was done…how difficult is that!!!! Its three months and they still cannot get it right. Is it lack of competency or tactics to con a customer? Please can Cell C address this query and resolve it.
