Wrongfully reported to the Credit Bereau

Apparently I owe Cell C money after I shockingly discovered that I was reported to the Credit Bereau when I app**** for a home loan recently. Customer service could not provide me with any information. I was then referred to the Legal Department where I was then told that they can not see anything about an outstanding account on their system. I was then referred back to customer service, then to Credit Review and also to the CEO office. It is now 4 months later and nothing has changed. All I need is a paid up letter that I am up to date with my payment, but that seems to be impossible for Cell C to give me. I am an utterly disgusted customer and have no faith in them. In addition, to my further dismay I received an email tonight (02 March 2021) from Cell C claiming that my account is in arrears to the amount of R334.01 which I have already paid and provided proof to *** on 6 February 2021.

Unfortunately I have heard that way too many times. The Legal Department did not recognise my details on their system so I don't know how they will all of the sudden help me know. I see from the other reviews they struggled to get response from the legal department so I dont have confidence that this will be resolved.

It is now almost a week since I asked Cell C to look into my problem. I was now told that they have still not received my proof of payment for the payment I made for January. I have now send my proof of payment for the third time to ***
And then, I usually receive my new statement on the 7th of every month, which I have not received as yet. Am I now going to be blamed for not paying for February as well, when I don't even know what I should pay?????
Cell C told me on Hello Peter that they will contact me soon and send me a paid up letter from the Legal Team... why has no one contacted me as promised???? What should I do? I am still blacklisted at the Credit beareu because Cell C does not do their job. It is horrible to be treated like this, after being a loyal customer for almost 20 years.

I have still not received any help about my query???? I have been promised to be phoned back MANY times which has still not happened despite the promises from Cell C to phone me back. Pathetic! I am escalating this matter to the ombudsman today.
