Telkom not taking my cancellation seriously

This is my email correspondence to Aretha (Telkom agent)...

Good morning Aretha,

Please find attached an Invoice I received from Telkom - in it I have been billed for 10 Feb 2019 Invoice for February ********** 119 R 428.08 Subscription & usage for ********** 944 Fixed Voice BB and R 200.74 Internet Service Subscription & usage for ********** 944_1 Fixed Voice BB and R 166.45 Internet Service Subscription & usage for TIN ********** Fixed Voice BB and R 22.55 Internet Service Subscription & usage for TIN ********** Fixed Voice BB and R 27.04 Internet Service Account subscriptions & once-off charges R 11.30

Attached are the two Cancellation forms I have filled out - per Telkom's requirements - to cancel the above services. I however cancelled these initially on the 14/11/18 Ref: ********** 7.

I have also been billed for the TI-Mailbox 18 Jan 19 - 08 Feb 19 R 11.22 TI-Mailbox 09 Feb 19 - 08 Mar 19 R 15.82 Subtotal R 27.04. Telkom however owes me a Credit from last year and till this issue has been resolved (as no one has contacted me about your below mentioned escalation) I will not be paying this…

Currently the total bill comes to R1137, 74 - mostly for services I have not (and you agree) I requested. Please kindly refer this to your supervisor…

Kind regards, Claire Stephenson **********

Hi again Aretha,

I'm really gob-smacked by the incompetency of Telkom - I realised as such when I called Accounts (also on 17/01/19) and the agent Wendy confirmed what you have just said below. She also said that that "we" could not resolve my billing dispute as it was now a large amount in question and has been referred to the Resolution Centre. I must however pay for what I had agreed to pay - for the landline only (Nov - Dec - DONE and pro-rata till 15th Jan '19 @ R200, 74) otherwise my services will be suspended/interest will be charged. BUT I have already overpaid for services charged for in Nov '18 (Telkom owes me a credit) and the longer the dispute is unresolved - interest is likely to mount up. I feel as though I need to start billing Telkom for the time it takes me away from work since November ?

Furthermore - I have been able to re-instate my email address (Ref: ********** 077) only at R16 p/m pro-rate billing from the 18/01/2019. I have received two sms's today to that effect, but not the login required to access the server. Haseena the agent said I would be receiving that via sms, so till now I still cannot access my email (TIN ********** )…

Kindly assist asap - Regards Claire

Dear Aretha,

A gentleman called Monday and agreed to cancel the landline by that afternoon...

I've however been calling my number and it still "rings" so to speak. On the email side - I get a message "your email server rejected your login" - can you confirm that is in fact cancelled, so I can arrange tomorrow to get just the email TIN reinstated.!?

Kind regards, Claire Stephenson **********
