Poor service.

On the 08th November 2021, i bought R500 electricity via Citiq website using instant EFT. The money was deducted from my credit account but no tokens issued. Communicated the matter to Citiq on the 09th November 2021, they requested proof of payment of which i send the bank statement which clearly shows the transaction only to find out they don't consider bank statements as proof of payment after i called them to follow up on the matter. Now my meter box is at zero, i am expected to pop out more money and buy electricity as they wait for "proof of payment" and i have to spend money and travel to the bank to get the proof of payment that they want. Basically i will be using R200 more to get R500 electricity which i paid for fairly so. The inconvinience created here is terrible and for a company as big as Citiq not to accept bank statement from a reputable bank, does not make sense to me at all. All i get is"unfortunately we do not accept bank statements" I have never been so frustrated in my entire life.

 Hi David,

We hope you are well and safe,

Please take our sincerest apologies for the experience you have been experiencing. As per our discussion over the phone, the reference on the bank statement you sent does not correlate with our system and cannot be traced as that is not the reference we require. We, unfortunately, need you to go to Absa and get proof of payment which has a payment reference that we can utilize to locate your token.

If Absa is still unable to provide you with proof of payment due to a 3 party purchase. Please can you ask them to provide you with a bank letter stating they are unable to provide proof of payment for a 3rd party purchase so that we can take this up with Ozow where you made the purchase and find your token that way, we will need proof in order for us to provide the best solution? 

We strive for only the best service and want to only provide you with the best.
