Accounts are a mess, and the company does not bother to respond

<p>Having paid for a year in advance to take advantage of the one month discount, I am now getting messages telling me that my account has been handed over because I have overdue amounts -it turns out that DSTV never allocated the payment correctly. I have never heard anything from DSTV until being told that I have been handed over, I have had two calls now to DSTV to try and resolve this - one around 10 days ago where they said they would get back to me in a few days, another today as needless to say they did not respond. Each call took around 20 minutes of my time, and I guess this is not the end yet. I live in hope!</p> <p>The individuals on the phone are very helpful and polite, but nothing happens..</p>

Despite DSTV replying to say they are still "working on the problem", I have just had a call from Business Trust to who DSTV handed the account over to for collection...

Afternoon

I have received the statements - thank you. But the statements were merely sent to me and the error has not been resolved! Really, what a waste of time. I cannot wait for a competitor

Currently on the phone to a Ms Ndaba who seems to be helping me..... Lets see

Thank you
