Telkom Mobile Ignoring my Contract Cancellation

<p>I sent through a cancellation email to "Tshepiso Laurettah Gagathiba (TL)" <***> and <br />*** on the 23 of Feb, for Telkom to cancel my contract and changing my service over to Pre-Paid.</p> <p>I sent the request with a "completed "Customer Request of Contract and Service Cancellation"form and am still waiting for Telkom to get hold of me. My contract was due to Expire in the Middle of March 2016 and I'm still being Billed. On my last Bill I also noticed that I was being billed for my device, which after 24months, should have been settled. I brought this to Telkom's attention as well and again my request fell on deaf ears.</p> <p> </p> <p>I called Telkom call center again on the 11 May 2016 and was on hold for 20min, Eventually spoke to Thumelo, who asked me to forward her all the detail, including my cancellation form. I sent the email to Thumelo and the cancellation department on the 12 May 2016 (*** and ***) and Instead, I received an email from Telkom (17 May 2017), thanking me for my loyalty over the year and advising me that I'm due for an upgrade. ***????</p> <p> </p> <p>I had endless trouble with MTN in the past and I though Telkom was different ...jokes on me.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is what I need....</p> <p> </p> <p>1. Someone from Telkom to contact me to cancel my contract.</p> <p>2. My contract to be transfered to prepaid.</p> <p><strong>3. Credit for the billing on the device on all invoices after my contract expiration date.</strong></p> <p>4. Letter of confirmation stating that my contract has been paid up after receving my last payment.</p> <p> (I want to make sure that I won't be listed on ITC, because I still owe you R5 on a cancelled contract.....after 2 years).</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you</p>

Good day, Thank you for your response to my query, however, I've had no NO feedback what so ever regarding the status of my query and it's now month-end and a debit order is pending. Your reply might as well have been sent from a automated system, because it seems like that's exactly what is was...a confirmation of receipt of my email. I called your call center yesterday and the agent I spoke to says that my contract is still active and she could not see any pending cancellation on her side. I might need to ask my bank to return all Telkom's debit orders until this issue has been resolved and I promise you that I will NOT carry any return costs. I will contact the Ombudsman today if I get no response from Telkom and they can take this further. I'm starting to like Telkom less every day. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE CALL ME TO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON AND NOT JUST CONFIRM RECEIPT OF MY QUERY? Thank you.
