Being charged for a phone I did not order

I ordered an iPhone 7 on line from Telkom on 28th June. On 1st July the monthly installment of R639 went off my account and I received the phone on the 10th of July. On the 13th of July the courier arrived with another phone. I told him it was a mistake and he said just sign for it and let Telkom know so they can arrange for the courier company to collect it. Which I did. After 2 weeks they still hadn't collected so I called again and they eventually collected on the 8th of August. In the meantime I received a statement charging me for both phones. I called to get them to rectify this and the lady confirmed it will be cancelled I asked where my proof was of this and she said there is none, I must just keep checking my bill to see if it has changed. When it had not I called again. The man I spoke to told me to eft the amount I actually owe and Telkom will deduct the money on the statement and reverse it again once the cancellation is activated. Well I called my bank to reverse the money because to date Telkom has not rectified this and I am now getting threats of being disconnected, being black listed and handed over to attorneys. I have called another 3 times. Being told I need to fill in a cancellation form which takes 21 days to kick in. Now it is funny how they are going to cut off the services for the phone I am using and paying for, but they are not threatening to disconnect the phone I do not have and am not paying for.

Good morning Hello Peter I am currently on the line to Telkom. They have no record of my phone being cancelled. They are telling me that the phone I do not have in my hand is active - the one I sent back - the one I cancelled. The phone I do have and the phone I have paid for is disconnected. I had to fill in a cancellation form for a phone I did not order. I sent the cancellation form in on the 3rd September. When I called on the 13th to find out if all is in order they said they do not have record of the cancellation. I sent the cancellation form in again. This one was registered when I called again a week later. I was told 21 working days until the cancellation will take affect which was the 13th of October. Well I called on the 16th of October and someone had been assigned to sorting it out. Hello Peter called and promised hell or high water that they would be the ones to get Telkom to issue a credit note... because that is all that is needed here!... it is now the 24th of October.... Nothing!!! You have not made any difference. So what now?

I was of course also told today that somebody was assigned to cancelling the phone 2 days ago... that would be Sunday...

And today it is 38 days since the promised 21 days that this bill would be sorted out. Instead they have charged me yet again for a phone I do not have and the phone I do have is still disconnected. Every phone call I hear the same thing from the consultant "the matter has been handed over to somebody who will call you. I will send another email to escalate this matter". Well this is now just so far from ridiculous there is no word for it. Hello Peter... you are just as useless since your rep promised like a super hero that since she was dealing with it now it would be resolved and that was on day 18... whatever....

And so Hellopeter has fallen off the wagon too. Situation still not resolved. In fact, Telkom have closed my case.
