Line cancelled, still being billed

After having to submit my landline cancellation 3 times I finally received confirmation that the line has been cancelled. On 22 March 2018 the line went off, but I am still being billed and debit orders are still going off my account even though 4 different Telkom agents have assured me on 4 different occasions that this won't happen again.

I spoke to someone a week ago (ref no: ********** 1) who logged a dispute regarding billing. I just received another invoice stating that after a service fee of R56.84 has been deducted, I now have a credit of R287.03. Why am I paying a fee for a line that does not exist, for a service that has been cancelled, for an account that is paid up and all this through a debit order that was supposed to be cancelled more than 2 months ago?

Can you please fix whatever is wrong on your side? If I go to a store, I'm told to phone. If I phone I'm told to go to a store. When I use chat service, I'm told that it no longer works for landlines. Then I drop the chat and create one with a new agent and suddenly the chat still works for landlines.

This is the exact reason why I cancelled my line with Telkom. Unreliable services, horrible billing experiences and non-existent customer service.

Honestly Telkom, I don't want to have to write on this website but what am I supposed to do?

I really hope to get this sorted soon, but I will definitely not be holding my breath or believe anything that Telkom says to me until the debit orders stop and my "credit" is refunded.

Thank you for the assistance Rafeeqah and Igsaan, can you please confirm if the debit order will still be running on my account or has been officially cancelled?

2 weeks later and here we are again... Yet again no response from Telkom. I never received an update on my previous question, which the debit order has been stopped by the way, and I have not been contacted by Telkom's Credit Management department as I was advised.
