Mondo, you are making your customers feel helpless, feeling more like a victim of a **** than a customer

In short, I was blatantly **** to by Mondo's sales rep over the phone. He assured me I can keep my current number and the contract data & airtime added to my current number, after phoning Mondo multiple times and going to a MTN store 3 times, it turns out you cant transfer the data, the process was incorrectly handled by Mondo as per the assistant at the MTN store. So hence I returned the phone within 7 days to get the contract cancelled, DSV picked it up on the 7th of December 2022. I am still getting billed for a phone and sim that I have not had since the 7th of December 2022. I have been phoning & emailing Mondo to find out what is going on. No one gets back to me with an update since last year and I am still paying for a sim and phone I have allready sent back to Mondo last year December. If I phone Mondo, the call gets or dropped or you hold on for 10 minutes and get the same story "Mondo is waiting for a number from the MTN Wharehouse to prove that they received the phone" How long can it take for a phone to be shipped to a wharehouse in South Africa from within South Africa, it has been sent to the Wharehouse on the 7th of December allready. You cannot get any relevant information from anyone at Mondo and the story stays the same.....waiting for a number from the wharehouse to do the cancellation. Unfortunately it seems my only option now is to get legal advice and start the process from that angle, as it is impossible to get anyone at Mondo to get this matter sorted out. NOTE TO MONDO, I already have a reference number. Mondo, you are making your customers feel helpless and frustrated, feeling more like a victim of a **** than a customer.

Good day. MTN informed me now that I have a MTN bill of R11373.71 that will be deducted on the 1st of May, because Mondo did not do their work, Mondo never gave through the credit amount to MTN. The phone & sim was collected from me within 3 days after receiving it to be sent back to Mondo Warehouse (December2022). But now i'm being charged for early cancellation, because Mondo did not give through the proper info to MTN. I was however charged up until now for the sim & phone I do not have. So by that calculation MTN owes me money, how is it that I am sitting now with a R11373.71 MTN account? PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A MTN PROBLEM, THIS IS A MONDO PROBLEM. If this does not get sorted out before the 1st of May I will be forced to report this blatant bullying and incompetence to ICASA & the Ombudsman. I see a lot of people experience the same issue with Mondo, the pattern is always the same, Mondo sales person sells something to client under false pretenses, then it becomes the clients problem to get the device cancelled, all the while he still gets charged, MTN cant help the client and Mondo basically makes it impossible for the client to get anything sorted out because they never reply to emails or return calls. Please get this sorted before the 1st of May, it will save us all a lot of money and time, I am only taking drastic measures because you leave me no other choice.
My last call to Mondo was this morning, I spoke to Ntombenhle Khoza, call refrence 2e8d7kn. She informed me it can take up to 14 days, this is unacceptable, seeing that Mondo's had many months to get this sorted.

Dear Mondo, The R11373.71 went off this morning from my account. This is theft/fruad, seeing that the phone i just paid for has been returned to Mondo warehouse early in December 2022. I will go ahead with lodging a complaint with ICASA & the Ombudsman. At this point I am also thinking of laying a charge for theft, seeing that the phone I just paid for is in Mondo/MTN's possession. TO ALL PEOPLE OUT THERE THINKING OF DOING BUSINESS WITH MONDO, READ MY EXPERIENCE, HAVE A LOOK AND YOU WILL SEE I AM ONE OF MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH MONDO, THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING BUSINESS WITH MONDO. THIS IS THE MOST AWFUL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD, BORDERING ON ***** AND THEFT, YOU AS THE CLIENT ARE LEFT FEELING HOPELESS AND BEING CHARGED FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. If you are in the same boat as me, I suggest going ahead with reporting Mondo to ICASA as it is probably the only way to get your money back.
