FNB Connect - Selling Products under False Pretense's

I took out a contract with FNB connect on 31 July 2020 . The description of my invoice and agreement read as follows : Samsung : A31 128gb + Free Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Valued At R2999 + Top Up . I received the phone 3 days later and was advised to go onto the Samsung Members platform to get my buds , which i happily did only to be advised i need a invoice in order to claim the buds . I then contacted Customers services several times and got cut off every time . I eventually got through and was told to contact sales which i did and they referred me back to Customer Care . I then decided on 3 September to just add the Quote as i have not gotten the invoice yet from FNB and i only had till the 7 Sep to claim as per the mail i received from the Sales Consultant i bought the phone with Only to be told by Samsung that the Promotion is no longer running and i cant get my buds . I am still waiting for someone from FNB to get back to me on this after i have sent numerous emails .

To make things worse this morning the phone just stopped working - the one moment it was working and fine and the next the screen is stuck . To make things worse i paid this account up in full and now feel i want to cancel the contract , give the device back and be refunded as i bought the package with the buds included so feel i bought the package on false pretense's seeing that i never received the buds and the phone broke after 2 months . I will now have to seek legal advice as i really have no confidence in FNB connect left . The communication and customer service is appalling .

Reviewer Update
It would be great if someone can phone me urgently as i just received an Sms that a courier will phone me to Collect the phone as per my cancellation request .... Which Is great but nothing is mentioned about the refund just that it must be according to FNB cancellation Policy within the 7 days cooling off period .... Which it clearly isnt ....... Its just getting worse now i wont have a phone or buds or my money back it seems . FNB should really pay attention to communication and training on their Customer care consultants ... and also invest in better remote working facilities for their employees
