Line suspension mishap

<p>I paid telkom R2463.13 on the 28th of January 2017, a week later i got an sms to say my account is in arrears and will be suspended if I dont make payment. I phoned the call centre and informed them of this, they told me i used the incorrect reference number and will re-allocate my payment to the correct account as i have two with them... The call centre manager Toni Venter informed me last week Thursday that i need not worry as my line will not be suspended because they sent my proof of payment to the collections department to allocat the payment... on <br />Tuesday 14 Feb they suspended my line and keep sending me sms's to say my account is in arrears... i have been fighting with them for 4 days trying to rectify this as i use my phone for work purposes and have not been able to communicate with anyone unless i can get to a wifi spot... which makes it dificult if you are seeing clients for 7-9 hours of the day and driving in between....</p>

Good Morning Shaun,

Please note that R-1,271.13 has been transferred to the other account however there is still R1,192.00 in arrears.

Your service can only be resumed once the account is up to date.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Hi Busi! Why can't you transfer the payment to the right account?? Now you want me to pay again for the same month?? What if this was another customers' account ?? Then i would have had to pay again for my account?? This is absolute nonsense!!! I want my line suspension lifted as I paid for it!!! I am not going to pay again before the end of the month, where do you think i am going to get the money for that!!!!
