Unauthorised debit order deductions

<p>In August I enquired about the LTE packages at Telkom. Despite not proceeding, I was suddenly sent a router to my home. I immediately contacted Telkom and arranged for the courier company to collect the unopened package. I received a call from Telkom to confirm that this was an error and I was advised that it has immediately been cancelled. In September and October however debt orders stared going off my account. I called Telkom call centre over 20 times to lodge a complaint. Also sent multiple emails but with no success. Their call centre agents are *********** and their team leaders are even worst. They lie they will provide feedback and nothing has been forthcoming. I spoke to Thandeka, Gugulethu, Mandisa, Oratile, Kokona, Malinga and Zinhle to name a few. They refuse to transfer me to a manager and always drop the call when I request a manager. I am not even a customer of Telkom but am completely apalled by their lack of competence in handling complaints. I received over 6 case numbers but each time I call I am told there are no cases loaded. All I want is written confirmation of a cancellation and no further unauthorised debit orders to be taken.</p>

Good day Noleen

Nobody from the mobile team has contacted me to date and I have received yet another invoice today. Should I not receive constructive feedback by close of business Monday 5th December 2016, I will proceed with legal action and complaints at the consumer tribunal.

I will also repost my complaint on ALL social media platforms.

This is completely unacceptable!!!

Good day Launa

I acknowledge receipt of your response.

First of all this is not a query, it is a complaint.

Secondly I would like to understand why Noleen referred my matter to the mobile team and you are referring the matter to retentions? Why am I being sent from pillar to post.

Thirdly I certainly cannot be assured that ANYBODY from Telkom will pick up the phone to contact me. Ive been promised that for months with no success.

I want proper feedback from Head of Client Relations today still.

Thanks
