Pathetic service, phone to be replaced in 6-8weeks but bank account still being debited

Pathetic service rendered. I ordered a contract phone and upon delivery the phone was dead and did not switch on. When I contacted mondo, they advised I drop off the phone at the nearest mtn store. When I went to the mtn store, they refused to take it and said mondo needs to pick up the phone. Once I got ahold of them (as their customer care service keeps hanging up on me), they picked up the phone on 31st of January. I was then advise that this matter will then take 6-8 weeks to be resolved. How and why would this take so long? Customer care is unable to explain, and every time I call in, I have to wait 20 minutes to speak to an agent, whom offers absolutely no help. How must I perform my job without a cellphone for 6-8 weeks? My boss is unable to contact me. They are also debiting my account for the contact but I have no phone. Please stay clear from Mondo. Rather go to a network provider direct instead of this failure of a marketing company.

Four months later I am still waiting for my contract to be cancelled. Account continues to be debited. With no help from Mondo. I had posted on Hellopeter in February and the issue has still not been sorted. Mondo is currently committing ***** by taking people's money without offering a service or product.

I trust you are well. I am laying an official complaint against you for not cancelling my account for the past 4 months. If this matter is not resolved and I am Not contacted to resolve this within 3 working days. I will report your company to the National Credit Union and Regulator as well as The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) and the National Consumers Commission (NCC), then I will do you the courtesy of reporting you to the Ombudsman Telecommunications Industry. I feel that Mondo is abusing the system and me by deducting without any service being rendered. Also note that a response is not received from MONDO in the requested time, That this will then automatically be escalated to mentioned regulator boards to report your company. I will also report you to the MTN complaints line so that they know that the SLA(service level agreement) you have has caused*damage to their reputation.

The contract has been cancelled, however MTN has been trying to debit from my account R6918 for the past two months. I had lodged a complaint to MTN on the 1st of May and after 5 reminders throughout the month to sort out the issue MTN still responds that they are working on it. @MTN ASSIST. I cannot be struggling like this when I did not even start the phone let alone even use the phone. Both MTN and Mondo has provided problematic services.

I will not accept that 'we are still working on the issue'.I requires dates as to when this will be conpleted

I require both Mondo and MTN to stop trying to debit my account for no service nor product being rendered. It's going onto the 6th month. Half a year and I am struggling like this.
