Charged R420 for Decoder Insurance

How can Contract Insurance cost R420 in 1 Month... MultiChoice you can do better.

On the 2017-09-24 03:57:14 PM I paid R400 my viewing subscription then seconds later the money I paid was instead allocated to Contract Insurance, which normally costs R20 a month, but only this time around multichoice decided they'll charge R420 only for contract insurance. I spoke to 3 consultants who all told me that it's a 12 month payment for Insurance. I don't need to pay insurance in advance so I requested for the amount to be allocated for my viewing subscription.

Today (2017-10-15) this has not been done and my Subscription is now suspended due to non-payment and re-connection fees have been charged as well. Multichoice please allocate the money properly.

I cannot pay any other amounts before they fix my problem.
