Absolutely ridiculous! Problems around EVERY SINLGE corner! This time, BILLING-related

<p>Alas, Telkom are at it with their incompetence YET AGAIN!!</p> <p> </p> <p>I have had endless problems with Telkom since I initially ordered my ADSL line back in August.</p> <p> </p> <p>Firstly, I ordered my TEL&ADSL line online and completed the order telephonically in August of this year. The lady who helped me that day never captured the order, and after 3 weeks of useless waiting, I phoned to enquire only to have to re-order my line. Ridiculous!!! 3 Weeks of time wasted. Then Telkom didn't even want to push me up the installation queue, even though they kept me waiting.</p> <p> </p> <p>Secondly, due to a problem with your infrastructure and a part the technician didn't have on him at the day of installation (at the end of September), he had to come back a SECOND DAY!!! Extra time my partner had to take off work and waste.</p> <p> </p> <p>During the time I ordered my line, I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED DEBIT ORDER AS METHOD OF PAYMENT!!!!!! On 18 October I got an SMS telling me my outstanding balance, including the pro-rata amount for September. On 01 November, guess what, the debit order doesn't go off. Surprise, Surprise. Now I get an SMS telling me I have the outstanding amount PLUS November's amount, payable due 01 December.</p> <p> </p> <p>When I phoned 10210 now to request a switch to Debit Order (which, BTW, you guys should have done when I ordered the line), the lady helped me but told me my outstanding balance needs to go be settled cash at a PnP or post office, and that I should take my invoice with. NO INVOICES HAVE BEEN POSTED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NOTHING TO SEE WHAT I'M BEING CHARGED FOR!!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>If you want your money, I suggest you send me an EMAIL INVOICE TODAY STILL, and authorise a Debit order for the outstanding balance on 01 December. I AM NOT SCHLEPPING AROUND after your incompetence. And heaven help you if you've charged me interest. I will refuse to pay that interest, as it was your mistake.</p> <p> </p> <p>Get back to me ASAP on this!!!!!!!!!</p>

Reviewer Update

It's now been a week and I have still to get feedback from a Telkom Representative. Please could you ensure this happens ASAP!

I have since figured out how to pay invoices on your "My Telkom" portal, and I paid my outstanding balance yesterday, 30 November 2016. I got an email from Telkom to say it's been "Confirmed and Finalised".

However, the R12.86 Interest that you guys charged me for late payment because you never signed me up for debit order (Your mistake) has not been paid. I refuse to pay this amount, and I expect to see it reversed from my account.

GET BACK TO ME, TELKOM!!!!
