Very bad flexibility in service

My father passed away a little over 2 months ago. He was paying for my cell phone contract as well as his own which is where this gets difficult. I went into the Cavendish branch shortly after he passed and tried to get my account swapped into my name so I could pay it. They said I needed 3 months bank statements to show I could pay the contract. I'm finishing off my masters so don't have a job but my Dad had a life insurance policy that once invested would allow me to live off the interest monthly while I finish my masters. This would only come into affect at the end of December so I couldn't do anything. I informed the branch that he passed away and had a copy of the death certificate but Cell C are still debiting my Dad's account so clearly this didn't make its way anywhere. I then tried to settle the arrears amount and the bank account details they sent me were incorrect. This needs to be sorted now.

I have been called by a customer service representative and have payed the arrears amount but have received no further information on the swapping of my number into my name as well as the cancelation of my dad's account.
