Telkom will not cancel my service, and keep billing me
<p>Due to unforeseen circumstance, I made the decision to cancel my entire Telkom service on the 15/03/2016.</p> <p> </p> <p>I contacted Telkom, who sent through the respective documentation for me to complete and return. I was informed that there is to be a 30 day notice period, which I totally understood and accepted.</p> <p> </p> <p>However, I have been billed every single month since my cancellation was submitted, and I have actually been paying these accounts as well. I have now received my FOURTH invoice from them on the 07/06/2016, and am NOT willing to keep paying Telkom for services which I have clrealy cancelled following the prescribved channel.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have contacted Telkom on a monthly basis asking why my service has n ot yet been calcelled, some consultants say they can see the request on their side, others say they cannot. I even lodged a dispute and received the following SMS:<br /><br />"Good Afternoon, Mr. ***X ***X NOTE: CASE ***1 credits arrange (R98.18) =credits will appear on FINAL June 2016 for service *** cancelled on 2016/05/09. . Regards Christa Telkom SA"</p> <p> </p> <p>Yet after a got billed for the FOURTH time, there is NO record of this, I was asked to email my original cancellation form to ***, which I did, but yet again as expected, no response or action has been taken.</p> <p> </p> <p>So to summarise, I expect not only to have my account CANCELLED as requested, but also to be reimbured for all the months I have been billed for this service that I did not want. </p> <p> </p> <p>I am in a situation now, of if I dont pay my account, it will have a negative impact on my clean credit history, but I do not believ this is ethical of Telkom to keep billing individuals and not following their own prescribed cancellation procedures.</p> <p> </p> <p>This needs to be rectified immediately.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ryan</p>

Ok so as I suspected Telkom has done absolute NOTHING regarding my cancellation as depicted above. What they DID manage to do however is bill me for ANOTHER month...
I seriously cannot handle this nonense any longer, incompetence is running rife here and there seems to be no solution to this problem.
Come one now Telkom, I'm sure it cannot be so complex to cancel an account, seriously now.
I expect this to be resolved IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
Do something about it this time instead of just talking the biggest load of nonsense. It's been a constant back and forth with no action on your part.
Bootom line, I DO NOT WANT YOUR SERVICE!!! I followed the prescibed channels to cancel, SORT IT OUT!!!!!!!!!
