Telkom ******* target indigent consumers

Telkom cut my Homeline and joint Cell phone account in March 2019 because I owed an amount of around R1500. Although I had no use of either lines, I could not cancel the subscriptions until i paid the arrears in full so they continued to bill me at almost R700 per month for 3 more months raising the bill to R3000. We were told that even after making avrepayment arrangement, we would still be billed the monthly subscriptions even if we had no use of the account.So if you happen to find yourself in straightened circumstances, be sure and cancel your Telkom subscription first because there is no small print in their contracts that say they are allowed to bill you for services not rendered. You are effectively in a catch 22 situation
