POOR COMMUNICATION AND SYSTEMS ALWAYS DOWN

My data contract number ********** 614 was expiring in May 2018. it was a 24 month contract. I approached TELKOM ALBERTON and was given a letter of cancellation to complete and send to the email addy provided on the letter. The requested cancellation date indicated on the letter was 14 April 2018 with a waiting period of 21 days. All documents were sent to TELKOM. I then called TELKOM to confirm the service was cancelled on the 29th June as was advised that its not. I went into the store on the 30th June and was told by the manager ********** i need to do an online cancellation of which the system wasn't working. I then spoke to billings team from the store ********** as i was informed that my bill for June was in fact the same and the service has not been cancelled. TELKOM HAS DEBITED MY ACCOUNT WITH ALMOST R1000 EXTRA WITHOUT CANCELLING MY DATA SERVICE DESPITE MY EARLY COMMUNICATION. I THEN ATTEMPTED THIS MORNING 02 JULY 2018 TO CANCEL THE SERVICE ONLINE AND I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH REF: ********** 0. I AM STILL AWAITING CONFIRMATION FROM BILLINGS THAT MY REFUND WILL BE DONE AND MY SERVICE CANCELLED. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED BY THE SERVICE I RECEIVED AND DEFINITELY HAVE LOST FAITH IN TELKOM AND WILL NOT REFER TELKOM TO ANYONE I KNOW. I WILL STILL HAVE TWO REMAINING CONTRACTS WITH TELKOM AND I PERSONALLY CANNOT WAIT FOR THEM TO REACH THE EXPIRY CONTRACT DATE TO RATHER MOVE TO A MORE RELIABLE VENDOR.

Yet again, ive given Telkom over a month to sort this issue regarding my biling and this morning 01/08/2018 funds were taken out of my account for a service not rendered by the provider. As mention i sent a letter of cancellation on the 13/04/2018 as this was the guideline given to me by someone in your Alberton store. Thereafter we done an online cancellation as this was something new and was never told to us at the time. Telkom then still proceeded to debit me for June and July. I entered into a 24 month contract with Telkom and by law the contract has expired on the 24th month it is stipulated in the contract. I am a loyal customer and through Telkom's negligence this has altered my personal payment system. I reversed both months June and July this morning. I do have two mobile contracts with Telkom and i have decided to pay this manually. Should you proceed to debit my account and do not resolve my issue i will get my attorney's involved as Telkon has breached there contract. I HATE TELKOM AND WILL NOT REFER TELKOM TO ANYONE. YOUR LEVEL OF SERVICE IS DISGUSTING SO FAR AS TO CHEATING PEOPLE FOR THEIR MONTY. I tried many routes even with stores and no one can assist me. PLEASE STOP THE DATA CONTRACT ********** BILLING. I HAVE NOT USED THIS FROM JUNE. i simply cannot wait to end all my contract with TELKOM.
