contract upgraded without my agreement/knowledge

Am writing this with dissatisfaction that i got from MTN Direct. I am due for upgrade . But to my surprise my contract has been upgraded without my knowledge. Unfortunately i do not agree to the contract. On the 28 or 29 March 2019 i got call from MTN Direct, apparently i was called by their third party which is summer mobile. The gentleman who called explained that the call is just to give explanation that since am due for upgrade and i have finished paying for the handset it means i will only be paying for the airtime up until i have the handset of the choice. But to my surprise my contract is being upgrades. On the 02nd April 2019 i called MTN Direct, and they stated that the upgrade was done by SummerMobile. But MTN direct doesn't want to take accountability of their third party because i request to speak to the supervisor in-charge and was told that the supervisor wont be able to assist since the upgrade was not done by then. Which am told to call Summer Mobile and i called the very same day. What surprise me is am told it will take 5 to 7 working days but they upgraded my contract without my knowledge they didnt take 5 to 7 working days. Every day am making a follow regarding my request but i don't get clarity. And its so inconveniencing . Am paying for the services that am not happy about. Even now my query has not been resolved. I received an sms from MTN on Saturday(06 April) that am due for upgrade and i can upgrade via online or go to the nearest store. I went to the MTN store on the 08th April 2019 to my surprise nothing has changed. I request that MTN or summer mobile cancel the contract they upgraded without my knowledge so that i can take the handset of my choice since am due for upgrade.

I am still waiting for the response. Even now communication hasn't been done. When i call that's when you be told that the matter is been escalated and its an everyday response. Really this is a such inconvenience. Will i get assistance or am just wasting my time. MTN and summermobile should resolve the matter.

This issue i believe it came to your(Summermobile and MTN) attention since the 02nd April 2019.Even now no positive response. I do not want to find myself in a situation where i will be told that contracts can be cancelled within 7 or 10 days after it was renewed while the delay was on you side. All i need is the contract to be canceled and for me to go to the store and choose the handset of my choice as i according to knowledge that am due for an upgrade and select the package of my choice.

Since the turnaround has expired and i believe i should be given a time frame on when the query will be resolved.Because this issue is really long over due. I also believe that Summer mobile as a dependent to MTN like its stated, it shouldn't be an inconvenience to us as myself did not know that MTN has third party.. I, myself knows that i have a contract a with MTN not with their third parties.

Please note i do not have a phone and its so much inconveniencing. I am being taken form pillar to post without any way forward. Been told the matter is being escalated to the Managers but still response. How long does it take for my query to resolved. Am tired of making follow ups every day and being told that the matter is being escalated. 2 weeks, 1 response, no way forward. But when they did the upgrade, which i didn't agree to it didn't take 2 weeks. Today (15th April) the debit order went through for what if i may ask. For which services? For what package? This is really an unfair treatment.
