Thank You Telkom for giving me the WORST SERVICE EVER!!!

<p>To date after emailing Telkom several times(and including my bank statements showing the erroneous deductions) and phoning them numerous times I have not received feedback from them about the refunding of the unpaid debit order fees, that were caused by their erroneous unauthorised deductions.</p> <p> </p> <p>*This whole problem started when Telkom deducted on the 24th of July 2016, instead of the 25th of every month , as per my contract that I had instructed them to.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead Telkom has now deducted twice on days I never gave them permission to deduct, which has caused more unpaid debit orders, that I had to pay myself. In total the amount of unpaid debit orders caused by Telkom is now at R345 that I had to pay for: An unpaid debit order fee was charged for Telkom's deduction on the 15th of July 2016. Another unpaid debit order fee for a Telkom deduction on the 30th of July 2016. I never requested Telkom to deduct on these dates.</p> <p> </p> <p>On top of everything all my contracts were suspended in the last week and a half of July 2016, which really hurt my business and inconvenienced me a lot.</p> <p> </p> <p>The least Telkom could have done was refund me the unpaid debit orders, that went off on days that I did not authorise them to go off on. At the moment I rate Telkom -5 out of 5.</p> <p> </p> <p>I hope Telkom will at least try and resolve this issue. If not, I will have no other choice to contact ICASA to complain about Telkom's unfair business practices: As far as I know deducting from somebody's bank account on dates they did not give permission to is *******.</p> <p> </p>

Since this is an ongoing issue and it has not been resolved I request the following:

1)That a Supervisor and/or Manager attend to my case.;

2) That I be contacted either via email or telephonically with regard to the status of my case;

*If this issue is not resolved within 7 working days(which is more than enough, since this issue has been dragging for more than a month already), I will refer this issue to ICASA.

Another unauthorised Telkom deduction went off on the 15th of August 2016 from my bank account, which I never authorised, which resulted in another R115 in unpaid debit order fees being deducted from my bank account.

*In total it brings the amount to R460 for unpaid debit orders fees, due to Telkom's unathorised(erroneous) deductions.

***The unpaid debit order fees are one thing, but I forgot to mention the more important thing: MY CREDIT HISTORY THAT IS NOW TOTALLY MESSED UP BY TELKOM!!!!

It took me such a long time to sort out my credit issues in the past and now with Telkom's messed I'm back to square one.
