Disgusted with service of "world class" provider

<p>Good day,</p> <p>I am totally and utterly disgusted by the pathetic service I have been receiving from Telkom after being a loyal customer all these years!</p> <p>The above mentioned escalation reference ********** 1 has still not been sorted and I PHYSICALLY WENT INTO STORE 12 FEBRUARY TO ADVISE THAT I DO NOT WANT MY CONTRACT RENEWED AND WISH TO BE SWITCHED TO PRE-PAID A WHOLE MONTH BEFORE MY CONTRACT EXPIRED [12 MARCH].</p> <p>I especially asked Loyiso at N1 City Telkom Store if he is sure that I do not have to sign any paperwork and he said it is not necessary as he had updated the system already and that the switch would automatically occur on 13 March.</p> <p>It is now 6 June and once again Telkom has debited my account for contract amount and I am absolutely furious!</p> <p>If this is not sorted today, I am going to ICASA to lay a complaint and will not be leaving the matter as it is as I have seen I am not the only one Telkom is swindling in this manner.</p> <p>IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT AN EMPLOYEE FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB CORRECTLY SO WHY SHOULD I AS A CUSTOMER HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS FOR AN "INVESTIGATION" TO BE CONCLUDED AS IT IS AS SIMPLE AS TO SWITCH MY NUMBER TO PRE-PAID.</p> <p>Nadia Samaai</p>

Good day, Busi,

Almost a week later for an escalated matter, my number is now dead! I was told that the delay in switching my number to pre-paid is due to it originally being ported when I took out my contract with Telkom...honestly I find this excuse unacceptable! I cannot access my banking and other security applications as they are linked to this number and not to mention should someone need to get hold of me via calling...TELKOM IS MAKING MY LIFE MISERABLE!

Now the one person at Telkom whom I was liasing with is just avoiding response to my e-mails as well as I have requested her to send confirmation of what she told me on the phone.

Please be assured that I am not leaving this matter like this, I will be taking further steps and each day it takes to have my number up and running will just negatively impact my report to the complaints commission.
