Telkom Mobile Account

<p>I have been having issues with my data signal (LTE) at my residential address since April 2016. In order to obtain any signal at all, I have to place the router outside of the house. I notified Telkom of the issue in April and received little assistance. After a further 3 months of struggling, I informed Telkom that I want my services cancelled and I was informed by a Telkom Representative that I may go ahead and cancel my services (See mail received from Collin Phiri (Telkom Representative-Customer Service) " </p> <p>I was informed that I am able to cancel this contract due not Telkom not being able to deliver the service I pay for. I have been struggling with Telkom for the past 5 months with no resolution and I am not willing to continue with the contract. The mail below from Collen Phiri ensured me that I am able to cancel ATTACHED). I received this mail on the 7 July 2016 and followed the instructions. I completed the cancellation form and submitted it to the specified email address. To my surprise, my contract was not cancelled and every time I try and call the call centre, I keep receiving new case numbers as if no one has a clue of what is going on. What makes this whole process so frustrating is that there is no direct line to contact the cancellations department. I have cancelled my debit orders with Telkom as I am totally disgusted in the level of service I have received over the past 6 months. On top of all of this, I am now being contacted by debt collectors to collect unpaid monthly bills. I sent the cancellation form through on the 12 July 2016 and was told that it takes 21 days for cancellation. The account is STILL NOT CANCELLED and I am being hounded for money. This is the worst service I have ever received in my life.</p> <p> </p>

I received a call 2 weeks ago stating that the issue has been escalated and Telkom would make contact with me within a few days. It has been 2 weeks with yet again no response from Telkom.

Please urgently respond to my last post. It seems the only way to communicate with Telkom is Via hello Peter. Please confirm the cancellation of my data contract and the refund for fees debited from my bank account.
