Account Settled in 2015 , Still at Legal @ MTN in 2017

After having to cancel my contract with MTN due to exorbitant debit orders for internet usage costs that could not be explained , I decided to go ahead and cancel my contract and after settling this account in December 2015 , I find out in OCT 2017 that according to MTN , my account is still outstanding and at their Legal Department . After settling the account in December 2015 , I received no communication from them stating that the account is still open . I have tried calling the contact numbers for quite a few days since last week and finally got through to the accounts department , where I explained that I had settled the account 2 years ago and have settlement letter to prove so , the agent could not transfer my call to legal , neither could she provide me with a contact number , I am just supposed to wait for 3-5 days to be contacted by legal to clear my status . Its does not take 2 years to update a customers account ,I am not willing to wait 5 more days for someone else's negligence , I want this sorted out now .

Its been a week since my original post , I was asked by the call Centre to wait for a period of 3-5 days to be contacted by the Legal Department . To date no one from MTN has contacted me to resolve my issue . Now there is this perception that I am a ******** that hasn't paid MTN , when this particular account was settled two years ago .I want this issue sorted out ASAP .
