Billed for no service for 5 months

<p>I was called by a telemarketer selling Telkom 20 GB LTE package. I agreed to sign up.</p> <p> </p> <p>This was in February, and I am yet to receive a SIM card. However I have been assiduously billed every month.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have phoned many times and experience the call forwarding endless loop every, typically ending up after an hour on the at the same point that I started. I have also been into telkom mall shops 3 times where I get a lot of sympathy, but no solution.</p> <p> </p> <p>To date no resolution.</p>

Hi, Latest update is that I have still not been able to resolve this.

Someone sent me a reference number via email on the 15th of August, and that has been it.

I guess that I should at least blacklist the SIM, device and account.

I will update on my progress soon.

I'm still waiting. I missed a call on my contact number. Soon after that I received a text to say that my issue is being addressed and someone would soon be in contact with me.

That was roughly 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting.

I'll try the deadly telkom call-forwarding spiral and see if I get anywhere this time.

Someone called to say that Telkom had fixed my problem.

Imagine my surprise this month when I was still billed for the phantom account. Needless to say a refund is obviously a long way away. I'm treating this like a savings account for now (earning no interest). How do I get out of this????

I am working with the bank to try to stop the debit orders. I'm not sure why I didn't thinkof this sooner.
