WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

My cell number ********** 903 is a contract line. After not paying 1 I was not informed it’s been handed to Legal 2 I was called by external collectors. I made an arrangement & paid it off (20th Aug 18) I sent my paid up letter & pop to mtn twice!! I tweeted, I called I even went to 14th Ave. After Zolile & Osca in the walk in centre treated me like I’m nothing & not directing me for help properly I get help from Bonolo who then told me Clair Walker is aware of my problem & is in meeting & will sort it! My Acc has been with her for over a week! So pull strings & get told my Acc has been removed from Legal status. I call Bonolo to tell him to do the sim swap with the sim he gave me & he did’nt do it?! First of all the SIM card he gave me DOES NOT HAVE NETWORK!! He then decided not to pick up my calls after saying he will call me back. So I decide to call the useless call centre for the 100th time today around 7pm, the girl at the pre paid says it’s still contract & puts me through to contract. The girl at contract tells me it’s STILL UNDER LEGAL!!! Like what?!?! I cussed and hung up cz honestly WHAT IS THIS?! Can your consultants read customer notes and understand the account before rushing to say “Legal” if you listen to calls I made in the past 2 weeks! All those people deserve ZERO for QA and customer efficiency because I had to literally teach your call centre agents how to handle a query!! I’m so upset & I just want my contract cancelled, my ITC updated, number moved to prepaid and do my sim swap so I can port my number & end my relationship with MTN, that’s all!!!

Reviewer Update
Hi, Yes it’s now on prepaid and active not because I was assisted by any of the people I mentioned above but because I had to call around asking for friends to help me with connections to people that work at MTN that’s how I managed to get it fixed. So basically, had I not found “connections” inside mtn I would still be struggling with my phone. Even Bonolo gave me a contract sim card hence I could’nt do my sim swap! Even after buying a SIM card when I called to do a sim swap I could’nt get help. You can go back and check, ul see I called twice on Saturday and was given the run around AGAIN! Luckily after digging & digging I found my original SIM card and put it in my phone & it worked! So in essence y’all did nothing, I fixed this whole thing myself! Now I just want to find out, who is going to send the updated information to ITC and how long will it take to be updated?
