Debit order and disconeection issues

We have had endless problems with Multichoice. We signed up for Price Lock around September 2015, we paid the 2 years as we should have and it came to an end September 2017. We then went onto month to month premium. A debit order of R750 has been taken off since then. Suddenly this month we were disconnected. We are told that our contract has finished 3rd July. What contract? The lady at desk reconnected us after we argued the situation. Now today we get sms stating debit order of R1023.17 is coming off on 28 July. Where did this amount suddenly come from? Someone needs to explain what this is about please. We think its best to cancel our subscription and go the streaming route that everyone is doing nowdays. We are tired of all these problems. Not worth the hassle or the money. Please get someone to contact us.

Good day Anna-Marie

Thank you for contacting us.

According to our records, the Price Lock contract was activated on 25 September 2015 and ended on 03 July 2018. The credit balance remained (R582.50) was transferred to the normal DStv account. However, this credit was insufficient to keep the service till 27 July 2018.

Please be reminded that there's no discount received from the normal DStv account. The total monthly subscription for this account is R899.00 including - (R809.00 for Premium package and R90.00 for Xtraview).

Going back to the credit, we charged pro rata balance for Premium service (R674.17) 03 to 27 July 2018. As mentioned above, the credit was not sufficient, hence R124.17 remained as the balance owed.

The payment date for the account is on the 28th of every month. Therefore, R124.17 is added R899.00 to make a total of R1023.17.

= R1023.17 is due on 28 July 2018.

All the charges reflecting in the account are correct.

Kind regards

Dinah

Reviewer Update
Thank you for your response however I cannot for the life of me understand how a 24 month price lock can be from 25 September 2015 to 3 July 2018? Do I need a math's lesson here? Or perhaps you do? In my mind that's 34 months. Please advise further as we are not happy with this answer. Please also confirm how we can cancel the subscription before the debit order comes off. We do not want to continue with DSTV as its way too much hassle. Always mistakes in the accounts and debit orders. In fact if you go back on my profile you will see my complaints about the price lock story a year ago. There are multiple issues there. So my request is: 1. Why is price lock 34 months. I want an answer. 2. We wish to cancel DSTV immediately. Thank you Kind regards Louis
