HEADLINE

being sued - when i had no account!

When i moved into my new rental property in May 2011 there was an unused decoder on the property. After a few months I decided to look on the multichoice website to what was on offer with different packages. I thought I might want to set up an account for the basic package but the internet woudnt let me complete as the decoder wasnt mine and I forgot all about it and bought some DVDs. Many months later I get a legal letter threatening to sue me for unpaid bills ....and it turns out since logging on to the net my landlord had put the decoder in my name and multichoice had activated my account for the full package and noone had told me. For many months a pattern evolved where I would get a legal letter, I would phone, fax and email a letter stating if they could prove that I activated the account in any way then they could have their money..the letters never got a response and the call centre was always going to look into it...until many many months later my landlord needed his decoder back and paid them off, much to my disappointment..What a bunch of ******!
