Telkom account suspended due to *********** staff!!

Good day. As much as I enjoy Telkom service this has crossed the line. At the beginning of November I saw my Debit order go off for my cellphone contract. A few days later I started receiving sms's that my account is in arrears and payment needs to be made, I then phoned in to Telkom Mobile customer service, I was then told by a lady I need not to worry there is an error on their side and my account has been paid and I can continue to use my services, Last night we received a voicemail saying that my account is in arrears and I will be charged a re-connection fee, I immediately phoned Telkom, I was advised by another lady that the account is in arrears and the previous lady must have made a mistake, She then sent me the account details and I made an EFT and sent the proof of payment to her, I paid my month in advance while I was at it, This morning my phone and my LTE router wont work, I phoned in and explained the situation again to be told I must wait 48hrs for the payment to reflect and I cant speak to a manager, After a struggle I got hold of management only to be told they will go back to the recordings where I was told the account is fine but it will take some time because he needs to listen to all the calls I have ever made to telkom, I then asked for a reference number where he could not supply me with a proper reference number and only the name Lungile 06H48 and that should be used as my reference. I understand the amount is not showing in your account yet, but is it my fault the amount has not been paid because first off I was told that the account has been paid and i should not worry, If i was told then that there was something that went wrong with the debit order I could have made payment and avoided being cut off and have to wait 48 hours. I am now sitting without internet or a mobile because I was told my account was up to date when it clearly was not.

Hi Keagen. Its good that you can finally reply but what is the point if its almost 48 hours? and you are still tasking your team to support? And now I am going to be charged a re-connection fee as well?
