Failure to terminate contract

<p>On 23.04.15 i had taken up a data contract with Mobile Talk who is a 3rd party to Telkom. Upon receiving the router i noticed that this wasnt a mobile router therefore i had informed them to cancel the contract & collect the router. They collected the router on 26.04.15 & had confirmed that the deal was cancelled. However the query went back & forth as they hadnt actually cancelled the contract on their side & now i was receiving threatening messages from debt collectors advising me that my account was in arrears. On 21.09.16 i received a Whatsapp message from Nu Debt that my account with them has been closed & from that i assumed that the account was now up to date & that i will no longer be debited for something that i no longer have. In November 2016 i had taken a Wifi deal from Telkom directly & when i had received my bill i queried why the account was so high & i was told that this was due to me having 2 routers active on my name. i had contacted Telkom to query this & was informed that they can see that the router was collected in April 2015 but this wasnt removed from the package therefore my bank account was still being debited. when i called Telkom i had spoken with Percy Ndlovu who advised that he can see that im being incorrectly billed & that he was going to remove the router from my package & that within 72 hours i would be refunded all that was taken out of my account. Its now a week later & the money hasnt been refunded to me nor is Percy responding to my emails. so basically for 22 months i have been paying for something which i havent used nor do i have in my possession.</p>

Dear Telkom Team,

I am awaiting some positive feedback as to what is going on with my query. You mention that someone will be in contact with me but to date not one call has come through. it is very convenient that the contract was not terminated on your side yet the funds are very swiftly debited from my account each month, i expect a full response on how this is going to be rectified & this must be done before the end of this week or else i will be forced to take further legal action.
