A money seeking **** from Telkom.

I requested a contract on the 19 May 2018 @ the Telkom store in cresta, I was being assisted by a lady names Asanda. I received the phone on the 20th. The promotion stated that it was a 2GB Iphone X for R949 with insurance for 242, that was the agreement between myself and Asanda. I told her a couple of times that i dont want any extra data top-up on the contract and they should limited it to the 2GB provided. She gave me an attitude and continued with the contract. All my documents provided states that I get paid on the 25th. She didnt ask me any questions or confirmed anything including the date of debit. A week after using the phone. I had no data and i couldn't make calls. I went back to Telkom and they advised that my data was finished because the full 2GB data was not allocated. so I depended on my WIFI to use the phone. They i get an unpaid debit order on the 20th (2 of them), the amount was R2700,17 i was shocked, because the agreed amount was R1,171. I called Telkom and I was advised about the extra charges included on the contract. So i went back to Telkom for assistance. I informed the consultant that the amount debited was too much and that it was not the agreed amount and that they should rectify the error. Only then i was advised amount the accumulating amount on my account. I asked for a solution and none was provided. I was threatened when i advised that I don't want the phone/contract anymore. The attitude I received from the consultants was shocking: one of them said to me I must just pay for the phone and be strong about it. I advised her of my commitments and the mistake they made on the contract. Why did Asanda select the extra amount without explaining it to. I refuse to pay the R2700,17 and will be happy to return the phone. How many people go through such a money seeking processing without an explanation. Then i was advised that the voice minutes on my contract are only for Telkom to Telkom but when I receive the sms from Telkom about my data it said I have 70mins voice to all the network. i was also advised that I will be held liable for the unpaid debit orders. why would Asanda select the 20th when I get paid on the 25th. Why would she enable the extra R500 on my account when i run out of data without asking me first, especially because i mentioned to her that I dont want any extra interest on the account. there is no way on this earth I will pay R2700 for a phone. every time they debit my account I will be forced to reserve it till the amount is resolved. Asanda will pay the rest of the amount because she failed to do her job. I would have been nice if she took the time and explained in detail. I would have went to Vodacom/MTN. Now I am annoyed with the sh#t explanations and rude consultants from Telkom. If I cant make call to all networks and I cant buy voice data what is the point of the contract? must I pay R2700 just to surf social media? what the ****!!!. ... I need this resolved urgently.

unfortunately the lady called me once and the matter has not be resolved and I called Telkom 3 times so she can call me back and till now no one from Telkom called instead Telkom keeps debiting my account on the 13/16/20/23 (R2700 or R2500) and 25th. Who will pay all those bank chargers. So now they have Debited R2500 on the 25th July and on the 26th July - R1,637.58 so its a total of R4,195 and the Cellphone service were terminated on the 24th. I keep asking Telkom to terminate the contract because there is no way I am going to pay R4000 for a cellc contract. The agents are rude and the callcentre service is really bad. This whole experience has been traumatic for me that I want nothing to do with Telkom. May they please stop debiting my account . I cant take it anymore with this treatment from Telkom. I am going to reverse my money and I will leave the phone today at any Telkom shop at cresta

So I went back to the Telkom. Please note that I tried tried to reason and cancel the contract but they said it will cost me R19 000 plus the R4000 (devited) to cancel the contract. They also explain that I cant call only other network poviders but Telkom only. I am not sure how my account moved to R2700 to R40137.58. I hold Asanda @cresta Telkom responsible and feel she should be held responsible with the mess of this contract. She needs to pay some of the things she enabled and didnt explained. If it means she must take over the contract and phone let it be so. My debt orders have bounded due to the extreme amount debited. After all that I need to keep calling Telkom to unsuspected the account

May I have feedback on this Issue, since Telkom doesn't want to collect the phone and I refuse to pay the account. For two weeks they had no idea who debited my account. The phone line was suspended and i was patient with Telkom. i want anything to do with Telkom. They have to come collect their device and leave me alone. I need my number back, my business clients are so annoyed. I don't even want their data. The store manager was not helpful .
