Hahn Collections incredibly poor service

I spoke to an agent at 1:15pm today (18.07.22) explaining that I had emailed documentation in 2018 and 2019 proving that I am a SASSA pensioner, which they assured me allows me a concession. In the meantime I have been paying my tv licence in full, which means I should actually be in credit with regards to my tv licence. Despite the fact we were having a civil conversation, the agent became annoyed with me with regards to the emails I sent in 2018 and 2019 and SLAMMED THE PHONE DOWN ON ME! I immediately tried phoning the same number numerous times but it had been blocked. It's unacceptable to treat people in this way when it could so easily have been resolved in a professional manner.

Good day Mr Colling

Thank you for your reply. 

I would like to point out that I am concerned if you send me an email address so as to send proof of my SASSA membership it still will not reach you. Previously I scanned and emailed it in twice. In 2018 and 2019.

Is there another way of sending it to you?

Good morning Mr Aiden Colling, Hahn Collections

Thank you for your response but I do not have WhatsApp.

Most importantly, do you have systems in place in your organisation to be able to refer back to previous correspondence, because this is where the misunderstanding has occurred.

I sent proof of my SASSA membership in 2018 and 2019. In 2019 I followed up via telephone that they had received my SASSA info. The staff at that time were very helpful and friendly, and they assured me they had entered the information on the system.

My request to you is for either yourself or a team leader to phone me with regards to this matter please. Thank you.

Good day Jean

Thanks for your response. I see I received one missed call from an Eastern Cape number during the 5 minutes I was away from my phone today.

I have found the email I wrote to the SABC in 2019. I dealt with someone by the name of Leonard, who said he would load my SASSA document. He also told me that I have a credit of R53.00 which would be offset against any amount owing.

Please could you call me on the same number you used today, but I do have an appointment early tomorrow until 12 noon, so could you please call after 12?
Thank you.
Kind regards
Penny.
