I pay - Yet they suspend my service and ignore my emails...

I made payment on time in March 2021 using a credit card through Payfast. This payment went through to Payfast and out the other end - Payfast confirmed that they have paid it over to Cool Ideas. Cool ideas didn't capture the payment on their side and a few days later I got an automated email to say my account is going to be suspended due to being unpaid.

So I paid again... Now there are 2 charges on my card... and emailed Cool Ideas to rectify - they responded, a few days later to inform me that they will take the payment to my account. April comes and I receive my next invoice - unpaid. I make contact with Cool Ideas and they ignore all my emails - eventually I even cc in all the emails I can find for Cool Ideas - 4 different people... All of whom ignore me. And on Sunday 11 April, they cut off my service - still not actually taking the time to phone or email me.

Good day Tiaan

We are sorry to hear of this frustration 

We have received feedback from he accounts dept that there was a glitch with the payment merchant (payfast) on the 3rd and the payment has since been allocated, further to this the second paument will be allocated to april 

we can confirm that you were not suspended, the email that you received was just a suspension warning and no action was taken. we believe our team has been in touch to discuss 

The Cool Team
