Read emails......balance bank statements with payments....show some customer service ethics!!!!

So been a customer for many years and purchased many items. My account was up-to-date until a few months ago when I, due to family problems, didn't pay. Phone calls, SMS (and BTW Portia Ntshotsho if I had money to call you back I would have (go figure) your number comes up as SPAM clearly understanding why that happens now. I DID send emails instead, try reading). I sent an email on 22 November making a commitment to catch my account up at the end of November even providing a reason payment was not made (even though it has nothing to do with you this is my credit score rating I am messing with not yours) (sorry it was in basic language clearly not readable did I scribble). You can argue I don’t take your calls, well you have NEVER EVER even bothered accepting my read receipt or acknowledging you received my email (Rude much). End of November, I would have owed 3 months. I emailed Portia and said I will do an EFT for the 2 outstanding amounts as soon as I was paid, and the normal debit order could go through as normal end of November and then my account would be up-to-date. So 24 November I got paid and immediately 2100 that was owing. On 25 November, I sent Portia the proof of payment. On the 25 November my normal debit order went through sorted….. NOT!!!! Today 30 November another 2100 is debited from my account. Sorry but could I have proof that I agreed to a debit order over and above the normal amount. I sent proof of payment. Is your accounts staff not able to balance bank statements to accounts????? Or are they just battling with numbers. Now I sit with no money for my debit order on 1st. So yes one debit order is my Wi-Fi and working from home I need this. So end of December when I again cannot pay (no work no pay) we can do this round about discussion again shall we. You will this time you have yourself to thank. Good job!!!! What i have found over the past year or so is that the "good payers" are the ones taken advantage of!!!!!! I can name three friends with Teljoy accounts in arrears, and NOT one of them have had an incident like this take place.

Hi Leigh-anne C 

A debit order was actioned against your account due to the cash payment being made after our megtape has been sent to the bank. We, unfortunately, cannot stop a debit order when a megtape has been sent. 

We will refund the credit on the account after the 5th of December. 

Regards

Hi.
Can I please have proof that I agree to this debit order? Last time I got a call and had to confirm I was in agreement with this? So by the 5th I am now in arrears again with other accounts.

The payment method on your account is debit order and should the account be in arrears we will collect the arrears amount by debit order unless the arrears are paid in cash before the megtape is sent to the bank.

It is a debit order for a specific amount as far as I can see on my contract. And then I sign and agree to this. This is the second time this has happened to me with Teljoy. So this month you take 1400 extra, but last month you didn't. Do you have a standard practice you use so at least your consumers / clients know what is going on and don't make an effort to pay as promised only to have this happen. Seems this changes according to whoever feels like it. I would NEVER have paid late at night as soon as my pay came in if I had known this month you decide to do your own debit order run. BTW, you have debited my account twice this month, not sure if I ever agreed to that either.

I would like my debit order cancelled, please. I have put a stop order on the account from my side. Furthermore, I will going forward pay the monthly instalment when I receive the invoice/statement. And just BTW, I cancelled my debit order more than a year ago and then you guys just reinstated it for the full amount when I purchased something else. Did I stop it then NO, but now enough is enough. I need to make sure I can work and perhaps update your records if I query something or log a repair, you people still keep phoning my daughter. She should not be knowing what's going on with my account, don't get how after years this is still being done. Last time I wait for weeks for defy to come through because they kept calling my daughter and her phone was disconnected. (check on records, you will see this)

We will cancel the debit order on your account once the refund has been processed.
Your daughter's contact number has been removed as an alternative number on your Teljoy account.
