Telkom Billing Department!!

This is regarding the terrible service I have been receiving from the Telkom billing department. For the past 2 years or so, I have been paying my monthly invoices via EFT. When I took out a mobile upgrade in July that's when problems started. I EFT around 23/24/25th since August, but they keep on trying to debit on the last day of the month. Why attempt a debit order when I have already paid what was invoiced? On the SMSs that I receive it says please ignore if already paid, so ignore it? Sure, its a system that determines these payments, but now I'm in arrears of R1800.00 because of the charges?? I have emailed the billing departments for the past 3 weeks now and I have sent all the proof of payments and explained in detail the situation, but all I get is the same response from different consultants - "please provide us with your account number." I called 081180 yesterday and spoke to one of the consultants for at least 20mins with which most of the time I was placed on hold, then he cut me off - I called back and spoke to a lady - same thing - she cut me off! I am afraid I have lost all energy to argue about this as I have been chasing up everyday about this matter, I am willing to change service providers now even though I have been a loyal Telkom customer for close to 8 years. I am NOT going to pay that arrears amount at all because they try to debit and find nothing in my account - THEY SHOULD CHECK IF EFTs HAVE BEEN DONE FIRST otherwise they should change the way their system works! I hope this gets out to the right people to action because the lower level staff wont do anything. I have all my POPs - I need that arrear amount to either VANISH or BE CREDITED. I have advised them so many times that this service is for my remote work job and it helps me when there is load shedding. I NEED THIS RESOLVED AND REACTIVATE MY SERVICE!!!

" Please note debit order has rejected, your account is in arrears. When the debit order is rejected you are liable to pay the monthly charges and the debit order rejections fees."

TOTAL HORSES***!! I pay so many accounts via EFT successfully with no problems but Telkom has such a C*** Policy!? F*** Them let them keep their arrears and lose all my future payments I'm moving to a much friendlier network provider - AFTER SO MANY YEARS BEING LOYAL TO THESE C****!!!
