Shocking

I have been trying to cancel my account for 10 days now with little to no luck. I kept being asked for a customer code or application number, which I do not have. I have sent them all of my details numerous times over the last 10 days and today I received an email asking once again for my customer code. AGAIN! In addition to that they have told me that I need at least a calendar month before my services will terminate which means I will have to wait until August until I have decent internet (that is if they actually manage to cancel my account in time which seems unlikely). I have threatened to contact ICASA and have told them I will be laying a complaint on Hello Peter. I will keep you updated as to how this transpires. When something similar happened a few months ago, it took a Hello Peter complaint before anyone would even call me (shocking).

I just received a reply from them asking me to log into the portal, after sending them an email yesterday stating that I do not have an online account nor will it pick up my email address. Unbelievable. It is almost as if your query gets sent into a black hole with no background on the matter (which is why I attached all of my previous email correspondence in my email to them which clearly wasn't even read nor did it help).

 Good day Nicolas,
 
 A cancellation should be logged on the home-connect portal or app, using your email address, that's linked to the application, t******@telkomsa.net and password that you would created for yourself, otherwise we can reset it for you.
 
 Cancellation will be effective, in a calendar's month notice as these are Frogfoots T's & C's as well and cannot be amended.

Thanks. As I have now mentioned numerous times, I cannot log into the portal. The email address linked to the account is not recognised. I tried to create an account and it then said there were no services attached to the account. I have been saying this on repeat for some time now. Please advise what I can do as I am having no luck with customer care.

Yes, they have made contact. They have reset the account. Pity I had to take to Hello Peter after 10 days of getting nowhere to get a satisfactory response but nevertheless thanks to the representative who helped me.

I have just tried to log in using the log in details the representative gave me over the phone and the error message saying “Invalid Credentials” comes up. So in summary I still cannot log in.
