Disappointed with TELKOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>I am extremely frustrated and disappointed in Telkom. Here I thought that their service had improved from many years ago, but unfortunately its still the same.</p> <p> </p> <p>I signed a contract, WiFi LTE 50gig for R699/month on the 21 December 2016 with Telkom who had a stand outside Douglasdale Pick n Pay. On the 3 January I was billed with a 100gig contract which is double the price of the 50gig contract. I contacted the person Walter who signed me up for the contract and sent him a copy of my bill to show that it’s was incorrect. From the 3rd to the 13th I got messages that my problem had been sorted, but went into the Telkom app on my phone and could see it hadn’t been sorted. I went to the Telkom shop at Northgate on the 14 Jan to complain to which the lady told me no case had been logged on my number. She logged a case “ ********** 8” uploaded my contract with the case and said it would be done in 72 business working hours. After numerous calls to Telkoms call centre to follow up they said it was being attended to. As I knew my debit order will run the 5 Feb for this double bill <strong>I can’t afford</strong> and which is *******ly incorrect for Telkom to debit my account as I have only allowed for a R699 debit order to run on my account.</p> <p>I went into a Telkom shop at Clearwater on 29 Jan where they looked into my case and said it was being attended to. Told them my concerns about the debit order where she said that she’d escalate a query to the accounts and they would contact me Monday 30 January.</p> <p>Today the 3 Feb I still had heard nothing. Contacted the call centre. Apparently they are still working on my case??? As for my debit order that will run on the 5 Feb it will be going off and they can’t stop it.<strong> I will go to my bank and stop this debit order.</strong></p> <p>I have now been told it will take 72 business working hours to follow up on my call today???</p> <p>Really will this ever be sorted – UNREAL!!!!!</p>

Exactly a week has gone by since I posted my complaint. I have heard nothing. Phoned into the call centre yesterday to follow and was told its being attended too.

I did reverse my debit order and already received my Feb Bill which is still billing at the 100gig. Again I will just reverse my debit order.

I will not pay for this service until Telkom sorts this out!!!!!!

Wonderful my account is correct AMAZIN!!! but now TELKOM want to cancel my other contract that I have linked to the same account as I have not paid!!!!

I cancelled the debit order agqainst my account due to the incompetance of Telkom. I then proceeded to do an EFT payment to pay for my other line that same day. I now receive a message on my other line that they see that it wasn't paid and if not paid within 48 hrs the line will be deactivated.

I call the call centre to tell them I have paid and yet again I have been told it takes 72 business hours for the payment to reflect. So this line may be cancelled even though I paid for it on the 7/2/2017.

I give UP!!!!
