The Telkom contract that never ends...
<p>I had a contract for my iPad with Telkom mobile which expired around May 2016. I called Telkom and asked what I needed to do to ensure that the contract was cancelled following its expiry. They emailed me a cancellation form and asked that I send it to ********** I emailed my cancellation form and a copy of my ID as requested. Since then Telkom has invoiced me and debited my account every month on the same cancelled contract.</p> <p>I first noticed this in June and I called Telkom to log a query. I was told that their system had not captured my cancellation request. They then assured me that my account had been cancelled. The same thing happed again in October 2016 and December 2016. In each instance when I called in: (i) I would be told that the contract had not been cancelled; (ii) the person on the other end would tell me that they had now finalised the cancellation; they would send me email confirmation that it had been cancelled or their supervisor would call to confirm that the cancellation was done and would offer their apology for the mix-up. Despite all of that, I would then get another invoice.</p> <p> </p> <p>It's getting extremely frustrating.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sibonelo</p>

Hi Diketso,
Yes that is the number. I've been told on more than 4 occassions over the past 6 months by Telkom that the contract has been cancelled. The last such date was on 7 December 2016. However, on the 28th of December 2016 my account was debited again and on the 5th of January 2017 I received another invoice from Telkom in relation to the same number. Today I spent another 30 minutes with Meshan Naidoo from your call centre who told me the same thing but refused to send me email confirmation that the contract was now finally closed. Instead, he forwarded an email that he had sent to your billing team asking them to refund me for all the erroneous debits to my account.
I need (i) official confirmation that the contract has been closed and (ii) all of the money that has been taken from my account since I sent my cancellation notice to be returned to my account.
Best regards,
Sibonelo

Dear Busi,
Please be advised that after an entire week, I still have not been contacted by your billing team. This is getting extremely frustrating.
