Telkom - Worst service provider ever

<p>In January this year we installed an ADSL line with Telkom. They never gave us a contract to sign, which we thought was strange but thought that it would be sent via email. My account was then debit every month so i assumed this must be for the ADSL line as i have no other contracts with Telkom and i didn't recieve a statemnet either. in April i was told that my account was in arrears, and this is when my fight with Telkom began....</p> <p>Telkom has been debiting me monthly for a telkom mobi account i never signed up for and not for my ADSL. i have phoned multiple times to get this mistake rectified but NO ONE seems to understand the issue so i have been pushed from pillar to post trying to get this issue resolved. i have sent MONTHS of bank statements to VARIOUS people and no one gets back to me or helps me with my query.</p> <p>Telkoms debt collectors have now started contacting me to pay back the outstanding fee but i refuse to pay for a mistake that was not my own and in any case the money i have been paying monthly for the mobi account (that i dont even have) can be used to pay for the outstanding ADSL account.</p> <p>Is there no one in Telkom who can sort out this query because i have been trying since April with no success and this is getting absolutely ridiculous now.</p> <p>All i want is for Telkom to close my accounts and use the telkom mobi account money i have paid to settle the ADSL account. then i never have to deal with them again as long as i live because this is BY FAR the company with the worst customer service i have ever had to deal with.</p> <p>My advice to anyone would be to stay as far away from Telkom as humanly possible.</p>

In true Telkom fashion i have still not recieved any communication regarding my complaint. i have recieved an invoice though....

All i want to do is cancel ALL accounts i have with Telkom so that i dont have to deal with this company again. is that even possible?

Finally after months of struggling i have gotten my ADSL cancelled which i am grateful for but i still havent recieved a response about this Telkom mobi service that i am paying for monthly (scince January). i never wanted this service and never requested it. i have asked Celiwe Libala (The person apparently looking into this issue - ********** on numerous occasions what is happening regarding this account and yet i am STILL waiting. i am so sick of Telkom and this pathetic service. Telkom you have lost a customer and believe me i have and will continue discouraging all my family and friends from making use of your service.

I have been paying for this Telkom Mobi service scince January, which means that i have paid Telkom R3192 to date for a service i neither asked for nor made use of. i have sent proof that i have been paying this R399 per month to more than one person and have asked, repeatedly, for feedback regarding my queries and yet Telkom is unable to give me an answer but continues to ***** my money.

Please sort this out ASAP or i will take further action. i want this account cancelled as i dont want anything to do with Telkom and the pathetic service they provide
