Discounted subscription a ****!!!

DSTV is a ******* of note. On 29 May, l received a text saying if I upgrade from Compact to Compact Plus, I will pay a discounted R470 for 3 months. I immediately called them and asked for an upgrade and the consultant confirmed that I will only pay R470. This did not happen. I was quoted an amount to pay but I paid more, like I usually do. Today I found out that they charged me the normal subscription fee and did not deduct the credit I had for upgrading during the month and they want me to pay the normal subscription fee again for the coming month. Essentially, that SMS about a discounted subscription was a lie. I fully understand why people are migrating to Netflix. I will soon cancel my subscription as well, DSTV is expensive in any case.

Dear DSTV,

Thank you for the constant replies to this issue. I am, however, informing you that I still have not received email with the statement you refer to above. As a result, my query is still unresolved. I ask you, once again, to send me the said statement because I still contend that I have been deceived by DSTV. I can do a basic reconciliation of my payments (and the payments that should have been deducted, since I do not have the statement yet) and I can easily tell you that it does not reconcile to your last response. Your very own consultant told me contradictory information to what you wrote about the amount deducted. Please send me the statement to clear this issue and save each other time.

Dear DSTV,

Thanks for the statement, I have received it. Can I ask that someone calls me to discuss the statement? I would call but I am not sure the consultant I would land on will be able to help me.
