Telkom - We love ignoring cancelation request!

Trying to cancel a Telkom line is a exercise in self-control! This is the 3rd time that I have now finally taken to Hellopeter to try and get a line cancelled from Telkom. After multiple calls followed by emails (staying on the calls until the rep. confirmed reception of the email ) absolutely nothing gets done. My last email to Mr. Menzi Magubane (as instructed by the rep. I had to mail his manager whom will follow up on the matter)

"I have sent the cancelation documentation on 21 November 2017 and received a “acknowledged receipt” email for the cancelation. On 19 Jan 2018 I poke to a Ronette because the cancelation was not done and again resent the cancelation documentation. 13 Feb 2018 a new invoice was received and I sent a mail to Ronette to confirm that the cancelation was being attended to, I have yet to receive any response. 21 Feb I phones again and spoke to a person with the email address ********** and resent the previous emails again.

On all of the calls I only ended the call once the person I was talking to acknowledge that the sent email was received. Please explain to me how it is possible that you are unable to complete a cancelation order from 21 Nov 2017? After multiple calls and emails from me.

Please confirm receipt of this mail and your intended steps to rectify the situation asap."

I have yet to receive any feed back from Mr. Magubane, this seems to be the standard operating procedure from Telkom when a customer submit a cancelation request.

I would like to know how I need to invoice for my time as I have to spend my time and effort every month trying to cancel the lines due to Telkom's incompetence.

Well this response took 14 days... No wonder I can't get the line and dsl canceled! "Hello tinusmalan The query has been escalated to our fulfillment team for their attention. Regards Noleen Telkom Social Media Team " After multiple calls with promises that the matter have been escalated and the cancelation will be done, I am not holding my breath!

Well as predicted absolutely nothing come from the escalation to the fulfilment team. Do anybody at Telkom actually do any work if so can that person please contact me as I have been trying to get this line cancelled since Nov 2017. Telkom is absolutely pathetic this is the 4th line that I have tried to cancel and the one that got cancelled the quickest took only 7 months!
