Pathetic Customer Service

I was called by a Mondo sales consultant offering me a heavily discounted MTN 20GB data contract deal. I asked the consultant Mfundo to call me back the following week as I had to first cancel my existing Vodacom contract. I did so and had to call Mondo to try and track down Mfundo. Many calls later and after my request being sent multiple times to the wrong department, another consultant called me. I asked multiple times for the breakdown of the data and was told 12GB daytime and 8GB nighttime. I was happy with this and that a laptop was included as a bundle so I gladly accepted. After activation of the contract I called MTN and was told the data was only 6GB daytime and the remainder was split in all kinds of ways for YouTube and music streaming. Not at all what was sold to me and confirmed by both sales consultants. I then called back and the same consultant told me there was nothing he could do. After insisting to speak to his manager, Akashni was put on the line. After a heated argument I was told by her that I would need to return the sim card and laptop and take up another more expensive contract. I told her I was not willing to do so and she promised to call me the following day. Needless to say after again calling Mondo I am still waiting for Akashni's call. I have since attempted to return both the sim and laptop in order to cancel this contract. I was told be another consultant that this could be done at any MTN store. I went to 2 separate stores only to be told I need to go to a specific MTN Direct store. Not only is Mondo pathetic at customer service, they have wasted countless hours of my time, phonecalls and petrol!

Ten days ago I requested for my contract to be cancelled within the cooling off period.The SIM and device were returned however MTN have advised that the contract is still active and have been billed for it on my August statement.
This needs to be immediately rectified and the amount reversed on my statement before my next payment goes through.
I am also still awaiting feedback from your complaints department on my previous issue.
Please get back to me urgently.

I am again following up on this as now even after the riots, this contract is still active and I am being billed. I once again called Mondo call centre and was told it had been escalated but once again had not been actioned.

I refuse to accept the riots as an excuse as the cancelation was done ages before. I am now awaiting a call back for both this issue and in regards to the call I received from the complaints department.

How much longer is this going to continue? I want this line canceled and my MTN account credited immediately!

I have again received no call from Mondo. After calling myself this morning I've been told that the cancelation has not yet been actioned. It is now almost 3 weeks since I requested this contract to be canceled. I've now been told that it has again been escalated to a line manager. Mondo what game are you playing with your customers?? You now have the device and sim card and are billing me for a service I am not receiving. This is happening to many of your customers. This is *****!! Best you sort this out today!!

It is now a further 2 weeks since I was promised that this issue would be resolved!!

How difficult is it to cancel a contract and refund the funds that you are effectively *****ing from me every month??

How many people does this need to be escalated to??

Mondo resolve this issue TODAY!!
