Debit order debacle
<p>Telkom must be the worst company to deal with whn it comes to actual queries. In February my debit order did no go through for some reason, I phoned in and queried it only to be told that it shows on their system as paid and I should not warry. Well that monday I recevied a sms stating the account is in arrears and I need to go pay to avoid my service from being suspeneded. I did so, they then raised R200 for a debit order admin fee - I loged a dispute as it was not showing up on my bank statement as rejected or unpaid - only to be toled by the "profesional" disputes department lady that I need to pay the R200 as it was my fualt!! (Didn't even want to see my bank statement) Then latter in March I received a sms stating that R1400 will be deducted from my account, this was a shock as I only use it for internet and the package comes to just over R500. Again phoned in and spoke to the accounts, I was told that it is only R700 (R500 + R200 penalty) and the system made a mistake with the calculation becuse the balances was laying in the incorect periods. Guess what - they took R1400, phoned again demanding to speak to a manager and told her the whole story - even comunicated over email. I informed her that I will be reversing this debit as I can't wait weeks for a refund, and she promised I will be contacted by somone to sort out the dispute for the R200 and another R200 becuase I reversed the debit even though they made the mistake. Weeks latter everytime I ask the lady what is happening she just apologizes and says someone will contact me. This never happens and now it looks like she is just ignoring my emails. Now I have to pay R400 admin fee becuase of Telkom's highly trained staff... I am so tired of their incompentance...</p>

Dear Telkom,
Since I have had no feedback as expected. I have now decided to cancel my Line Rental and ADSL package with Telkom. I also have desided not to pay Telkom until such time as you actually sort out my billing, and then I will pay you only after the same period has elapsed that it took you to sort out the account,
To sort out your payment, please send me an email with refrence #TelkomSucks, so I can ignore it for months.
Thanks
A "VERY" satisfied customer.

Just an update, only half my problem was resolved. I haven't paid my account and have been phoned at least 4 times in a week to remind me to pay - yet it took months to get a query resolved... Still I recon they can wait another 2 months and then I will pay what I owe ...
