Foneyami is ****ming customers

I went to buy a phone at Pep store on contract and asked a copy of the contract agreement. The shop was fully so they promised to email me a copy. I paid for the phone and some months even paid extra so that i can finish up the contract sooner. Contacted the operator to request a statement in order to see the remaining balance and to follow up on the contract. To my dismay, i am informed that it is rental. I sent email on emails to get a copy of the contract and they are still refusing. The consultant clearly said it is a contractual purchase. Rental matters were not ever mentioned. I requested the agreement from him and it never came through, i went to look for him in December to follow-up on the contract copy and he has since gone missing. Pepcell would not even assist. I have incurred so much unnecessary expense on something that is not even legally mine. They are refusing to refund my extra excessive payments i made and they blocked the phone.
