Disrespect to the Customer

I've had my cell contracts with Telkom for over 10 years. Recently, i've been very appauled at the way i've been treated. The reason why I'm saying this,is because My 3 cellphone contracts has been Cancelled without my permission and without notification.

It has been 2 weeks already that I have contacted the billing department who's been giving me the run around and asked me to speak to cancelation department, and thereafter, I was asked to be put through 2 technical department, and then finally I've been asked to speak to sales, which I've done. For the past 2 weeks. I was also given a reference number,And nothing came off that so basically i've been getting the run around and I cannot use any of my contracts since they've all been cancelled. I currently owe nothing on my bill. I have sent all my proof of payments to billing, and despite all of that, the account still remains cancelled.

Telkom blunder,they sent me a bill of R 72000.00 after cancelling my contracts without my permission.

In getting no help at the call centres, I finally decided to go into the pavilion store to seek help and assistance as to what's happening with my account, and why is this the case. I was advised by one of the salesperson, that this was not the first case where there was a glitch in the system and contracts have been canceled.

This is gonna go on to the third week now.I cannot receive any calls. Nor can I make calls, nor can I receive any communication whatsoever, including messages.

This few weeks has been a tremendous stress. And inconvenience on my part reason being is that everything is linked to my number. For example my bank accounts etc.

If there's a glitch on Telkom system and my account was cancelled, surely can be uncancelled sooner than seven days or rather, two and a half weeks, which is the time line so far. I've been a loyal customer like mentioned for the past ten years and over. I didnt expect treatment like this. Whats worst is the fact that they open up a case and font bother to give u any feedback and then the case gets closed with nothing being redolved. I request that my contracts are restored immediately to avoid any further legalities.

Reviewer Update
Telkom has no emphathy and no respect to their customers,I dont know if anyone has shared my experience.Almost 2 and half weeks have passed and Telkom has cancelled all 3 of my contracts with no notification and whats worst is that they did this without my consent.Telkom disregard to the customers issues seems to be ongoing.What sadens me is that I am a loyal paying customer for over 10 yrs and Telkom does not value committed customers.Telkom had a glitch on their system and my contracts got mistakenly cancelled,instead of Telkom correcting this immediately since the fault was with them,I am getting a run around from Billing department.This is a billing issue but for 2 weeks they teĺl me they cant help speak to cancellation department,cancellation say it is a technical department issue,het to technical and they advise its cell depatment issue.Tryung to get to the call centre takes forever,when u get through all the consultants use the same line it seems which is unfortunately u habe ti waite 48 to 72 hours for feedback and when that time is over they advise u it will take 7 working days before feedback on yr case.Just like this its going on 3 weeks and I have no feedback,no call back and whoever you speak to does not know how to help.I am paying 3 and half thousand every month for my contracts which is alot of money and I cannot use my account cause Telkom sytem glitch.Worst part is everything is linked to my numbers example nank apps etc.If only there were trained and efficient people using common knowledge at Telkom could help would be nice rather than reading manuels and not knowing how to help us the customer.I am at the end if the line now and will be seeking legal advise for the trauma stress and tine callin in in hope of getting my contracts re instated.

Lastly Telkom keep saying that they cannot get throught to my numbers yet they cancelled and blocked my numbers,despiye this i gave then a pay as you go no and still nothing.so looks like i paid for the month and not gett any service. If anyone care for us the customers and wana reach out to resolve,I can be contacted on ***.
