Impossible to cancel account

<p>I have been trying to cancel a Telkom FTTB account for my business since July this year, account number ********** 86550, I have called, I have gone into branches, when they weren't on strike, and sent countless emails. Not a single email has had a response and at one point the email mail box was full and not accepting any new emails. I have even posted on their Facebook page, where all I got was a response telling me to email the cancellation, like that works.</p> <p>How is it that a national company of Telkom's size can so incredibly inefficient? I am now getting threating calls about court action as the outstanding balance is growing monthly. I am no longer even at the premises where the line is installed, so there has been no usage since the cancellation.</p> <p>Any ideas of next steps would be appreciated, I could of course wait for the court summons and deal with it there?</p>

This issues is still not resolved, I have tried sending emails but to no avail.

I have received the latest invoice. There has been a credit passed but from what I can see this is only for the October and November periods. Please advise on the status of the remainder of the credits back to August.

Regards,

Shaun Houghton

This issue has now been resolved and all the outstanding credits have been app**** to the account. It is still not clear though why it has taken 6 Months to process an account cancellation.
