Addiitonal line and Upgrade Issues
On the 24th of April I was called and sold an upgrade on my account by KZN CF Outbound (invoice number: 4381865IN0000948) Doctor Nkosi - Last week my services were canceled due to Non Payment. The agent did not upgrade my line but rather added an additional line to my account. this has lead to double invoices for the different lines.
I have tried calling 084 135, getting pushed from pillar to post. No one knows or cares.
I drove an hour to my closest store Three Rivers: They said I might as well take this to ICASA- there is no way they can help. Unless I pay what they say I won't be able to call. I don't owe the amount stated as payments have been allocated to separate accounts.
Please can I speak to a person that knows what to do? I am beyond irritated.
Regards
Heath
Desired outcome: For the upgrade to take effect, cancel the second line.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Thank you for contacting Cell C.

Contract cancellation
On the 1st July 2022 I phoned the call center in order to cancel my contract. I was told that I won’t be able to cancel my month to month contract because cell-c has decide to put me (without my permission) on 24 months contract. I made it clear that I was not interest to be bound by a contract. I was coerce to believe that I can cancel the monthly contract at any time with no fees.
I then proceeded by sending an email and the below was their reply.

Contract refund
I have been trying to get a refund on my contract account but Cell C keeps toying with me like a yoyo. At first I wasn't even made aware that there was a refund due to me and later found out when I called to inquire about my account status.
I was asked to provide proof of payment for the account and I explained to Cell C that the proof of payment is from a different account to the one I had initially opened the account with and they said it was ok but when I provided the proof of payment, Cell C went silent and months later when I called to find out what was the hold up they told me that I provided the wrong proof of payment and this was after all the explanation I gave them and they were ok with them.
5 months later I am still cvalling Cell C and getting the same run-arounds. It is unfortunate that when we owe Cell C they are quick to list us but when they are supposed to give our refunds they prefer to screw us.
I am tired of this and I think the ombudsman or small claims court will help me get this matter resolved
I have paid the amount that Cell C said I have outstanding on the 30th June 2022, No one bothered to update my account and Cell C has since listed my account as adverse and has messed up my ITC record.
I have been calling Cell C on several occasions with them telling me that they can see the proof of payment has been attached and one of the people from them will call me in regards to my paid up letter but no-one did. When I call and request to speak to the collections department, No one answers my calls, as I type this letter, my call has been on hold for 30min without anyone answers.
How do you want us to pay but not do your part when you are supposed to?
I think it's about time I go to the ombudsman with this, my credit record is in shamble because of this and your people keep telling me about my case being under investigation. What is there to investigate when all the proof of payments are there?
I have settled my accounts with with Cell C on the 30th June and have been trying to get them to send me a paid up letter and update my credit profile but without any luck. I keep calling Cell C and I am being told that my account is under investigation, when I called I was told that they can see that a proof of payment is attached to my account and that I have settled my accounts but noone is sending me my proof of payment of updating my ITC.
When I ask to speak to someone in the collections department, I am kept on hold for more than an hour with anyone taking my call.
I am really fed up such bad customer service from Cell C. I am going to take this up with the ombudsman since Cell C has no respect for its 9

Cell C cancellation of contract
Good day.
I am filing a complaint and possibly a court case against Cell C for its extremely awful poor service and laziness of not helping me multiple times. I canceled my contract with cell c almost 3 years ago, the employee from cell c that apparently canceled my contract didn’t inform me that they changed my number to prepaid which means they didn’t cancel it at all.. not doing their job. To this day 7th of July 2022 (bear in mind I ended my contract 2019/2020) i am still being billed by cell c, I even have a different number and contract with MTN. The number from my cell c contract that I cancelled is not even in use or on any SIM card and they are still billing me every month. I phoned my bank and they recommended to open a court case. This is extremely frustrating too as I did not want to go to this extent yet but everytime I call 084 135 to try cancel it again and speak to an agent, they just kept transferring me to a different agent, not wanting to help me, almost on purposely not wanting me to cancel the contract so they carry on billing me. I’ve never felt so hopeless before. This is so so wrong. I need help please.
Desired outcome: To cancel the Prepaid contract with Cell C and for them to stop billing me for good. So I do not have to end up opening a court case against Cell C.
Cell C
My Cell C contract ended in 04/06/2022.
I reached out to MTN in May 2022 to port my number so that I can take out a new contract with them.
Cell C released my number to MTN as my contract was ending.
I now still receive month to month bills from Cell C but I am not on their Network anymore.
I have tried to cancel numerous times but no one can assist me, they are sending me all over Cell C and sometimes when they put me through to the next person the line is lost and I have to start all over again.
My timeline is as follows:
1. I phoned the cancellation dept. they can't cancel because there is something wrong with the porting - they put me through to the port dept. - silence - nothing - no ringing - I waited for 10mins.
2. I phoned customer care - they can't help - wants to put me through to port dept - I ask for direct number - they put me through and the same as above happen.
3. I phone the number provided [protected] - and I speak to another consultant that cant help met - gives me the same direct number and puts me through to ports dept. - same thing as above, no ringing, silence not answering for 15mins.
4. I phone same number again - and another consultant puts me through to prepaid dept - I speak to another who puts me through to contract dept - and there again line gets lost somewhere - silence - no ringing - no music - no answer for 10mins.
Desired outcome: I just want my now month to month contract cancelled as Cell C is deducting money off my account and I am not even on their network anymore.Please help me.
Oh my God the same thing is happening to me right now! Exact same experience with the customer service, being transferred from one person to the next. I actually had a breakdown and started crying cause no one can help me either. I’m considering opening a court case against Cell C.
Hi CloeM, I sent e-mails to sm@cellc.co.za and custserv@cellc.com -
Bongani from Cell C phoned me on the same day to assist with the cancellation, It was so nice speaking to someone that could eventually help me and he was such a nice chap. I was relieved because it all adds up to a lot of money for nothing, na-da, niks as we don't use the network anymore. I hope someone will assist you as well as I know how frustrating and nerve-racking it is, lets hope my contract is also now finally cancelled. Good luck.
Payment not received
I payed the bill but still my account is suspended and again I called tu o make an arrangement but still they suspended my account but it not even 60 days

extreme arrears bill
I had one month left to pay R339 , which i also thought wasnt correct since my bill kept changing. I couldnt pay that last month. This was November 2021. Suddenly my bill had large fees and i just refused to pay it. I mailed customer service to ask what the reasons were a few times and they never responded. Now 7 months later I receive a cell c bill of R3500.
How does R339 become R3500 in 7 months?
They refuse to answer emails.
What is a person to do?

Fraudulent/ Unauthorized debit order
Morning,
I had two contracts ([protected] and [protected]) with cellc and those contracted ended over a year ago. I have been in stores, sending emails, calling the call Centre for assistance in cancelling/ stopping the debit orders. I have gone as far as contacting the fraud department and no response has been provided till date. I decided to stop the debit orders on my side but unfortunately CellC decided to hand me over for collection over money they are wrongfully deducting in the first place. This has created a dent on my credit score and rating.
Desired outcome: the desired outcome is for all the money deducted to be refunded and my credit status restored.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.

Incorrect Direct Debit Ammounts
Good evening ,
I have been into store , on phones for about 5 months and I've even sent my bank statements off to a manager I spoke to on the phone but had no feedback , I currently have a Samsung galaxy a32 for R300 , however I have been deducted R1000 a month which I am disputing for a very long time and getting impatient, I have no other option but to take this to the papers and take the complaint further if my issue is not resolved . I have paid R1000 a month since my contract started in January 2022 and no one is able to explain why, can someone get back to me regarding this as I have no other choice but to go to my bank and cancel any Direct Debit from Cellc .
Regards.

Your form sent has the 3 digits already and my wife made a loan from boost loans please see loan agreement and bank statements loan made on 29th of April I did say my wife made the loan as well as proof of payment What she was charged I want the whole amount R1364.60 due to excuse that there no proof of the loan so refund won't be done, don't even have guts to phone me and making me a liar will make this public on social media and at the NCR
Desired outcome: Refund of total loan amount including interest made by wife to purchase a phone after claiming we are lying
Good day
I would like to know ow how you can close off my complaint if the refund issue was stilll not resolved or paid out to me.
I was last informed on the 10th that only bankstatements are needed which I have sent on the same day with the proof of payments.
You breached the contract by not linking the IMEI number to my account but the insurance was able to do it within 5 days after acc was activated.
All I ask is the refund because a copaykwnt must also be made on the insurance of R499 so I had to spend R1364.60 plus R499 that adds up to R1863 60.
I paid my contract which is a package of a mobile deal of which I do not have from the 19th of April and only obtained ITC after the 1st complaint on Hello Peter and complaints board on the 16th of June and then suddenly the IMEI number was linked and ITC number given on the 17th of June. This is 2 months after reporting the device stolen.
Worst of all is I am also paying insurance on a device for 2 months which I do not have while you took your time until a complaint was logged
And the nightmare carries on, horrific pathetic no after sales customer service or any customer service at all see emails sent on the 10th the 14th and again tonight with the proof of payments and bank statements attached and sent through numerous time the first time 29th of June 2022. It's another month that passed after 1st complaint on Hello peter and complaints board.
I want the refund money of R1364.60 in my account by Tuesday as I was informed on Wednesday 13th of July when I phoned in to inquire a gentleman assisted me and said it takes 5 to 7 working days for it to be in my account. 5 working days has already passed since all necessary documents were sent.

Monthly services loaded at the beginning of the month will be billed at the end of the month.
On June 30th the Mins, SMS and data loaded on June 1st will be deducted from your bank account.
Your first debit order was due on the 8th of May 2022, a date that you selected when the contract was activated.
The debit order was unsuccessful due to no funds.
The first invoice included the pro-rata for April and full subscription May 2022 hence Invoice of R700.26
Blacklisting Query:
Upon activation of contract activation of contract it may take up to 30 calendar days for the usage information to be populated.
Further delays in blacklisting the device were caused due to the incorrect Cell C number captured on the attached blacklisting form.
Cell C attempted to reach telephonically on [protected] in order to have the form updated correctly.
A refund cannot be processed because there is no request for a loan unit captured on the system.

Please start reading all the complaints
I am logging complaint and I demand correction of account and payments due to account being only 3 months old en of June 2022 because it was activated on the 1st of April 2022.
You tried collecting on 8th of May 2022 R700 but my first installment was only due end of May 2022 as billing work month back installment being for April and May R658 (329 * 2), insurance installment for April pro rata as it was activated on the 5th of April 2022, May 2022 102.98. Total for April and May 2022 is R329 + R432 = R760 - 700 = R60 + R432 = R482 but invoice shows R600 because debit order failure charge of 120 (60 * 2) which I refuse to pay because 1st debit order only due end of May 2022, where I did phone and arranged payment will be EFTed on the 27th of May and that was done so no debit order was supposed to be launched end of May so I want my acc fixed and charges rectified I demand my account to be credited with the 120 due to breaching of contract whén my IMEI number was only linked and blacklisted on the q7th of June 2022. also due to delay with assistance with blacklisting device so that I can open a police case and being able to come claim with insurance. I also insist on refund for prepaid mobile device that I have to buy for R800 due to no feedback no phone calls or any assistance with blacklisting of device and I did not knoww how long it will take as my work demands a mobile phone due to being a security guard only working night shift.
Another reason why I request compensation on my contract is due to the reason that it is not a sim only contraçt but a device contract, of which i did not have any device from the 20th of April 2022 until now when i could claim on my insurance.
I also demand motivational letter and acknowledgement of being at fault and the cause for late claim.
See below all communication on emails, The Complaint Board and Hello Peter.
You Breached the contract as soon as my IMEI number was not linked to my acc that 329 is for minutes, data and smses and the device I want a refund as well as refund for phone I had to purchase during the 2 months for inconvenience I just posted on complaints board and hello peter another complaint and review
And to make it worse now the insurance wants motivational letter why I am claiming now you better make sure my insurance covers my claim due to your pathetic horrific after sales service with rude people working in customer care after I phoned back when call was cut and requested them to just sent notification to phone me again she wanted to do security check and then suddenly I failed it but the same questions were asked when lady phoned me
You broke the contract I will not leave it here

Fraudulent account opened with my identity
A fraudulent account was opened last year December I went to the Cell c store at Westgate mall the lady request for specific documents such affidavit,copy ID and 3 signature's she scanned and sent all the requested and relevent documents to to the fraud department.
I have been calling cell c a number of times and every time I get a different agent telling me that it's flagged on the system that it's a fraudulent account however it has not been cleared it's been 6 months of sending the same documents over and over again to this day cell c is continuously attempting to debit my account and the collection department continuously calling me to tell that the account is in arrears.
This is affecting my credit record I have sent the documents and emails to [protected]@contractor.cellc.co.za ,[protected]@cellc.co.za,[protected]@cellc.co.za as per their request reference number [protected] but no one is willing to help this is really frustrating because I am unable to do certain stuff because of this account that is in arrears. I have wasted so much money calling and emailing cell c. Vodacom was able to clear this in two days I don't understand why this is taking forever.
Desired outcome: Provide a paid up letter or a clearance letter to show that this has been cleared under my name or a letter stating that you are aware that this is a fraudulent account and clear my records.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
We have requested our fraud team to assist and provide you with feedback .

Cell C fibre
I have paid my Cell C Fibre account on the 17th of May 2022. Received a paid up letter on the 30th of May 2022. I found out only today that this account was only closed on the 22nd of June 2022 a whole month after I have paid the account.
I am still waiting for Cell C Fibre to update my status with ITC. Nothing has been done and Cell C Fibre staff is lying to me every day of the week when I phone in to find out what is going on with this matter. My Transunion send them a Dispute regarding this matter as where Cell C Fibre just needs to respond and say that my account was paid up and closed so that my Status can be updated with ITC.
Magdeline Reddy is aware of this issue from the start and she is also not getting back to us with feedback just sending mails saying that a manual submission was send with a reference number that is not use full.
ticket number: CF008124
I want this matter resolved or else I will take it further with legal action

Delayed contract application and incorrect fee
Good day
I had done a new contract application on the 22nd of June. The sales representative advised that the pinnacle 10g was on promotion for R599 and that was the contract option I had chosen.
On Thursday I was vetted and the contract was approved. And the number would be active by Friday morning.
On Friday I was called by an agent to apologise for the delay. He advised that the contract should of been activated and captured already and he was unaware of the reason for the delay.
I get an email on Sunday the 26th June advising that the contract is approved but the billing amount is R999 instead of R599…
Please advise why this application had taken so long and why I am now being billed R999 and not R599.
Number in question is [protected].
Desired outcome: Correct billing amount. Activated line. Better reception.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.

How can Cell C take money for offering no service. Despite the fact that I put in the wrong number, they should still be able to refund me.
Desired outcome: Refund of data purchased.
