Telkom SA SOC debit order not changed no feedback provided

On the 2nd May 2017 I called Telkom to have my debit order bank details changed. The consultant I spoke to said she will escalate the matter and it would be changed. As soon as I dropped the line I got a reference number, 2 days later received a Sms case resolved. On the 25th May I then got a Sms from my previous bank stating a debit order ran for R207.50 from Telkom on s closed account.Where I got a returned unpaid debit order which cost me R90.00. I called back again spoke to a lady by the name of Phumla she confirmed I called in changed my banking details. I asked why it wasn't changed to have deducted from my new bank account she said she will follow up with collections as they change banking details and they will call me back. To date I have sent regular follow up emails because I want to know what is going on. All my other debit orders were changed successfully just
Not Telkom. Telkom have you changed my debit order to deduct from my new banking details. I need urgent feedback and no one gets back to me. I refuse to have a negative credit rating and refuse to pay any late payment fees.

Telkom SA SOC double debits and refusal to refund into personal account

After almost 5 years of up to date payments and upgrades, for the first time i was late on my payment for April and subsequently made a manual payment in the middle of May into the telkom standard bank account and had my account reactivated. At the end of May I was debited for April and May's bills combined. I was debited on the 25th of May for these 2 bills. On calling 180 I was advised by Kedibone that my April manual payment was reflecting on the system but it would take 48 hours to reflect the debited amount on the system so she could process a refund into my account for being charged twice for April's bill. After 48 hours I called again and was told my manual payment for april was reflecting on the system but it takes 72 working hours which is about 9 days for my debited payment to reflect. And since then the 180 number doesn't answer.

I have been contacting and emailing continuously to no avail. Telkom has totally messed up my bank account by debiting me twice as this has stopped other payments from going off and incurring interest. Their lack of interest especially admitting they are at fault and rectifying it is totally pathetic. The call center staff are not properly trained and cannot resolve issues. Telkom are fast to deduct payments and stop accounts. But will not resolve issues due to their ignorance on account management? I am still waiting for any sort of contact because this is what I was promised. I have sent off proof of payments and since then been "muted" by them.

Telkom SA SOC new product - adsl uncapped - R599 per month

I've paid deposit of R700 on the 06 May 2017. Then for some reason my order was cancelled, then re-instated on the 15th of May. Ever since then, I am still waiting for a technician to come out. And every week is the same thing. "Technician will be there today" and then just nobody shows up. Then when I phone the next morning, they say this every single time"Technician went to wrong address" So please can someone tell me when will a technician be coming out to install new product.

Elsje Swarts:[protected], the correct address should be 9 Robertson street, Witpoortjie, Roodepoort.

Telkom SA SOC cannot cancel contracts

During January 2017 I received a message on Facebook from Telkom stating they have a special of R799 for uncapped Fibre. As I had two mobile contracts with Telkom, I enquired if the contracts had expired, in which the call agent confirmed that both accounts have indeed expired or about to expire. I immediately then requested to cancel the contracts, which was told will take 21 days. They sent me the forms, which I completed and sent in on 18 January 2017, the same date ordering the Fibre uncapped special. The Fibre arrived (not without its own billing & service issues), but I am still being billed for the two Mobile accounts (invoice attached: Telkom_Invoice_[protected]_3531.pdf), now 137 days (or 93 work days) after cancellation. According to Telkom, the February 2017 bill should be paid as it is within the 21 days, but all bills thereafter should have already been cancelled, therefore Telkom should reimburse me R498 x 4 months = R1, 992, but the accounts have not yet been cancelled.

I have tried everything to correct this, from contacting the accounts / billing department (speaking to Fikele @ [protected]), Telkom Facebook page (using Messenger, to which they normally respond and promise solutions) and HelloPeter (two complaints), all with just empty promises.

During this time, I have heard of people in similar circumstances that are still being billed for their Telkom Mobile account almost a year after cancelling.

I have even considered instructing the bank to stop these payments, but have been advised by the people above not to do that, as Telkom reports you to the credit bureaus and have you blacklisted for non-payment – talk about a catch 22.

Outcomes I am seeking
1. Contracts to be cancelled (Billing account no: [protected]) to be cancelled
2. Refund money owed, totalling R1, 992
• 02 March 2017 payment: R498
• 02 April 2017 payment: R498
• 02 May 2017 payment: R498
• 02 June 2017 payment: R498

Telkom SA SOC 2CRK010617

No resolution in more than 8 weeks on my ADSL line fault(frequent disconnection, line noise and high pings). Someone could be tampering the connection. Your service has been terrible but it has been for the last 5 years anyway. Your technicians must trace the cable on my premises and check if there is a possibility of tampering or a bad connection. Your technicians have been given a chance with 3 faults to resolve the issue.
Telkom is a disgusting company!

Telkom SA SOC termination of service: landline/adsl line : [protected] :

I, Petrus Erasmus Horak; ID [protected] which to refer the following problem to you. For your convenience I will attach as much documentation as possible.

During January 2017 I requested that the above service had to be terminated. Documents in this regard was handed in at your Menlyn Office. Several inquiries was launched but without any proper answers.

It was only after many discussions that the service was terminated, however; the ADSL (Internet line) still seems to be active, even though we had moved from the premises on 28 February 2017.

During the past week we launched an inquiry regarding mobile number [protected], as I could not use this number. It was stated that due to an outstanding balance on the above mentioned service this Mobile Number had been blocked and that it would only be reactivated once this balance has been paid. As I had this discussion previously I was asked to launch a complain which I did, however; it was stated now that no complaint or any inquiries was received from my side and that there is nothing on record.

I therefor attach all relevant documents again, and which to be exempt from any outstanding payments. The mobile phone in question belongs to my daughter and it is important to have contact with her at all times.

Your support in resolving this matter will be appreciated.

Pierre Horak

Telkom SA SOC order no [protected] telkom en internet lyn

Goeie dag

Ek wil asb 'n klagte le. Ons sukkel al nou 'n jaar om 'n telefoon lyn en internet te kry deur Telkom. Ons het telke male geskakel en aanlyn aansoek gedoen en sover het niks gebeur nie.

Oktober 2016 het ons na Langeberg mall in voorbaai in Mosselbaai by daardie Telkom winkel skriftelik gaan aansoek doen. Ons het 'n oproep ontvang wat se dit is goedgekeur en toe 'n sms na sel no [protected] op 9 Desember 2016. Op 12 Desember het ons sms ontvang om te bevestig ons order no is [protected]. Op 14 Desember het ons weer 'n sms gekry om ons in te lig dat die internet 15/12/2016 geinstalleer gaan word. Op daardie dag het niemand opgedaag nie eers nadat ek geskakel het het die persoon die 16/12/2016 by ons opgedaag.

Ons is ingelig dat daar eers een of twee pale geplant moet word voor 'n lyn gele kan word. 'n Aansoek is voorgele vir dit en ons sou teen 13/03/2017 ons telkom en internet lyn gehad het waarvoor ons nogsteeds wag en dit nou einde Mei 2017. Wat ek wil weet is hoe lank moet ons nog wag.

Die rede vir die lyn is omdat waar ons bly is selfoon opvangs baie sleg. So ons het nie altyd opvangs om te kan skakel in noodgevalle nie.

Ek beskou die diens van Telkom as uiters swak ons word glad nie ingelig wat aan gaan nie en tot op datum het nog niks gebeur nie.

Ek wil weet hoe lank moet ons nou nog wag ek sukkel al 'n jaar met Telkom net om aansoek te doen en nadat on skriftelik aansoek gedoen het wag ons al 6 maande. Dit is uiters swak.

Ek sal dit waardeer as u dringend aandag kan gee aan dit en ons asb in kennis kan stel wat aangaan en of ons verdere stappe moet neem.

Die aansoek is gedoen in my man se naam met die volgende ingting.

Telkom SA SOC adsl internet

I reported that my internet was down on Friday 26 May 2017. Ref # 154CRK260517.
My husband was called and advised how to reset the modem which he duly did but this did not work. Since then I have been trying to find out what the situation is via your t twitter site. All I have had after promoting from my side is that they are awaiting feedback. From whom I have no clue. I also have no turn around time or further clarity.
Yesterday I was told that this would be elevated to the ADSL team. Surely that is where it should have been sent on Friday?
In one response I was told that the call was closed on 2 occasions as there were active sessions. This is not possible as I have had a red light on my modem since this started.
So now after nagging again this morning as I have had no response since yesterday morning, I am still no further forward and have still not had any response.
This is beyond ridiculous and I would appreciate your urgent assistance in this matter.
I would also like to know about reimbursement for all the data time we have now had to purchase.
Thank you

Telkom SA SOC no service

Hello,

To whom it may concern,

I first reported the fault in June/July 2016, the same fault that is still not fixed. Numerous technicians have inspected the problem and all promised to escalate the issue to have this repaired, but to no avail.

The issue has be prematurely closed and then I have to phone again to have it reopened. [protected])

The finding was that there is a line break and a new cable has to be installed, I have no internet connectivity, my phone is out of service I have to ask people to phone me on my mobile phone. In short I am paying for a service that I am not receiving and nobody is willing to assist.

I have escalated the issue see proof in attached e mail, I have people phoning me but there is no progress

Attached is some photos of the state of the connections.

Telkom SA SOC lines not working fault reported

Good Day we had reported Faulty lines on the 22 May 2017.

Our customers is phoning on my Bosses mobile complaining that the lines do not ring and the other busy tone.

The Technician only came this afternoon to have a look at the lines and informed us that the problem is outside 2 Km from here he have to give it to someone else to sort.

It has been week now and it is still not fixed.

We run a business this is not a private line that can take this long to be fixed.

This is unacceptable and Telkom service is very bad. This is not the first time we had to wait so long for our lines to be fixed and Telkom taking their time to fix.

Telkom SA SOC poor service delivery

I went in to Telkom in Cresta on Tuesday 23 May 2017 to take out a new phone for my mum. Being an exisiting client, the process to obtain the phone went smoothly, and the guy who assisted me, was very helpful. The part where I have an actual problem, is that I also requested for my mums number to be ported to Telkom. For some reason she was not getting the sms that evening with the code that they need to port the number, and I was told that they will contact me the next day and sort the porting.
I was asked to leave my number for that purpose.

Wednesday the 24th, I receive a whatsapp message from the guy at Telkom to tell me that he is not in at work today, but he will sort it out the next day.
That is obviously not my problem as a customer, and I insist on getting it done that day as promised, knowing that mums bday is coming up in 2 days and need her number in full swing.
He refers me to someone else, whos is also whataspp communicating with me.
I was then told to come collect the sim card and that everything was sorted.
So off I go for a 2nd time to Cresta Mall. Porting would be complete by 8pm that night.

The next day, Thursday 25th. A day before my mums bday, i test the new number, insufficient funds, no data. I question this with the guy at Telkom the morning, as the contract does not seem to be right, and I suggest that maybe the port was not added on my contract, but on a prepaid instead.
He said he will check it out. But telling me that i need to come in againto Telkom again. A little annoyed at the time already, I refused to go in a 3rd time. He tells me its not his fault, and that i should have just waited for him to come back to work for it to be sorted properly. As if that is my problem, and told themm that they are all trained to do the same thing, and that should not cost the customer.
He said he will sort it out and that I should not panic. An email was sent to some one to sort this out.
I waited...6hours went by and no update was given.
I started whatsapping this guy to find out what is happening and what's the delay. He said he will follow up. I was even more annoyed that he waited this long to follow this up.
I receive a phone call on my way home on Thursday and the agent is just babbling on the phone. Said even if he comes himself to drop off the correct sim, he will do it, and how this is not his fault and that he will sort it out. I was promised a call on Friday morning...the morning of my mums bday. And she doesn't have her phone sorted yet.

It is now Sunday the 28th May, and still have not heard a word on the process.

I am extremely annoyed and at the same time, disappointed.
All I want is for this to be sorted.

Telkom SA SOC incorrect cancellation and no further assistance to reconnect

I would like to express my deep grievances and utter disgust with Telkom. I will never recommend this company to anyone I know and will not make use of their services in the future.

We had ADSL and line rental from from Telkom and sent in a cancellation form on 20 April 2017, clearly stating the date of cancellation for 1 June 2017. The cancellation department however cancelled the contract on 21 April 2017.

I have made numerous attempts to contact the call centre, however the only thing they can do is escalate the case. I honestly don't know why Telkom has a call centre when they are unable to do anything from there side. They were further unable to provide me with contact details of the department that was supposed to re-connect the line and I was simply told that I would need to wait for it to be resolved.

Well I have now been waiting for nearly 6 WEEKS! I have complained to the social media team, I have complained online and I have phoned the call centre over 20 times! 1 June is a week away and I honestly don't see the point in reconnecting this line. Your service has been utterly disgraceful and I don't know how you manage a company like this.

Telkom's incompetence has cost me over R2000 on data in the past 6 weeks, because I work from home. I was most certainly not a valued customer.

Telkom SA SOC service inefficiency and misinformation

Numerous irritating calls remain with complete misinformation and a disgraceful run around.
