RCS - **************** & INCOMPETENCE IN THE WORST FORM!!
Edgars has always practiced a policy whereby their monthly service fee only applies/is charged if there is an EXISTING BALANCE on one's account. Not only have I had this confirmed by their accounts department, but I have also observed this in the years that I have done business with them. However, even though my account has had a zero balance on it and has not been active for a few months, Ive still been billed a monthly service fee. I called the accounts department about two months ago, requesting my final balance (since I did not receive a statement) stating that I would like to pay the account off IN FULL so as to CLOSE the account, of which I DID pay the final balance in full. However, it seems the account was not closed after I paid the final balance. Nonetheless, I had certainly paid the final/closing amount given to me in FULL and to the cent! I did not receive any further statements thereafter until a few days ago, indicating that I owe Edgars a small amount which totals two months of SERVICE FEES only. I've tried calling relentlessly in order to resolve this, but after much airtime wasted and frustration due to having my calls cut, I am no further advanced! Yesterday 19/08/20, I spoke to Nawhaal Reid who conceded to the fact that the account had a zero balance after being paid in full, so she couldn't understand why I was being billed for service fees.. She did confirm that those fees only apply when there is an existing balance. She guaranteed me that she would get collections department to call me back, so as to resolve, since she was unable to close the account while it reflected an outstanding balance. Since nobody has bothered to call me back, I called back again a short while ago (20/08/20), this time speaking to Yonela Gwantshu, who quite frankly should just stay home since she is not qualified to handle the position she holds.. She really frustrated me, asking me "why would they bill me if I had no existing balance on the account"... DUH.. She only needed to check the system in order to find what Nawhaal did! I asked her to just transfer my call to collections department, since she has a no telecommunications skills at all and after several failed attempts to do so (keeping me on hold for lengthy periods) she eventually cut the call before I could speak to anyone else to get assistance, so that was yet another futile exercise, yet another wasted call in vain. This has been wasting my time and has been SO infuriating! RCS is definitely a company that I DON'T want to do business with after this experience.. I really want to ensure that the account is adequately CLOSED this time, but instead, they are causing further costs to be incurred on me! The escalating air time costs is really annoying me. In fact, this has been costing me far more in airtime value, than the amount which is being unduly billed to me. I know that there has been much news circulating regarding Edgars allegedly struggling, but come on! This company need not FIND ways to extract money from consumers! I am really annoyed by this! Feels like ****************. I can't stand companies who are INEFFICIENTLY in their functioning and who practice thieving from consumers!
