I have being trying to get Telkom to cancel an ADSL service to my home for the past two, going on three months now, I lodged an application via email to the Telkom Cancellation service email box on the 7th May 2018, I received no notice of acknowledgement, on the 16th May 2018 I went into the Canal Walk Telkom walk-in centre to establish the status of my application, here I learned that the email application service was redundant and all cancellations are to be submitted via the Telkom Web Portal, this I did on the 17th May 2018, I received the following reference numbers 23402492 / 2340431 and 2340244, acknowledging receipt of the application, the site states it would take a month for the matter to be processed. On the 19th June 2018, I called Telkom on both 10210 and 10213, I received no joy as to the status of the line, my instruction was simply to have the line placed in the corporate holding pool upon cancellation, in the interim I had been told that there was an amount outstanding, with was R129.19, I was told if I settled immediately, the line would be moved within 48 hours, I settled an amount of R629.19 as the payment needed to done once again on the portal and you can ONLY pay the amount reflected on the current statement, no pro rata payments can be affected.
Many, many calls later to Telkom as well as visits to Telkom walk-in Centres have given me no joy as I still have no service, but I have received a new account for a service which no longer exists.
All I have received from the various interactions through telephone calls and visits are new Cancelation Request numbers; they are 162074172A / 258727649A / 266128685A and another reference number 2095942.
I would like to follow up on the status of my request to move my ADSL line 0215911420 into the holding pool as this matter is far to drawn out with unnecessary inconvenience to me.
Kind regards
