Disgusting service at Umlazi branch

On the 18th of May I made a mistake when paying via Eft and I paid into my old dstv account number. I then called in and I spoke to a very nice lady called Nosipho who assisted me with Micayla. I was reconnected and I was a very pleased client. My nigtmare then started after that. On the 20th of May I went into Dstv Umlazi and I the staff attitude towards me and my sister that we got from the customer service agent was just so terrible, humiliating and degrading. To have your staff member shouting at us, waving a paper at us as if we are illiterate and forger even listening to us was just the tip of the iceberg. I have never in my whole entire life encountered such a rude individual in any organization. She asked for proof of payment and I told her I can email it to her and she refused to get it emailed to her and wanted us to go and have it printed at an absa branch. Forget even verifying our complaint when we tried to explain to her. dstv management seriously needs to retrain and reshuffle the staff they have at Umlazi because this is not the first terrible service I am receiving at that branch. after that every 2nd day since the 18th of may is being disconnected and reconnected. your staff dont forward us to management when we ask to be. The fact that I am using my airtime and data every second day which is about R50 a day on average just to call about one and the same complaint when your staff members have promised to escalate and have a journal done but still have us disconnected and reconnected everytime and paying for all this. I would like your Customer service Executive to give me a call or email.

Good Afternoon,

On Sunday Andile from your Hello Peter complaints department called and for what I honestly do not know because write now as I'm texting our services again at home have been suspended. Now like I told you we are calling every 2nd day, we even drove to a branch and all these unnecessary additional costs I'm sure would have paid for a premium package for 2 months if not more. This issue is not now only annoying but it's taking my time, money just to mention the least and clearly non of your staff is competent enough to deliver. I acknowledged the error I madcalled to find out what to do and this has been nothing but a nightmare for us. Now can you make sure our DSTV is reconnectedagain. This is annoying because you don't even compensate clients appropriately to apologise. With all the hassle you should give us 12 months free subscription to say sorry

I honestly feel defeated when it comes to the service we receive at DSTV currently. I received a call on Sunday from Andile who handles the DSTV Hellopeter complaints. He promised to assist me but once again today our services were suspended. I just called again at DSTV *** and was told the account now has charges of over R1000 all in reconnection fees from the 18th of May 2022. I spoke to a very helpful lady called Zanele and got cut off as the query was long but she sent Gugu who has a her colleague to call me back, of which I am grateful for but this whole thing has made me to become aware of DSTV and how they bill us because you can easily get ********** on there errors if you do not become vigilant. On the 18th of May I paid R500 into DSTV instead of R424.01 which includes in the message they said includes the reconnection fee. On the 28th they told me to pay R110 for the reconnection fee of which I did meaning that in total I had paid R610 mind you I have always had a compact package but today somehow I was told I downgraded which is a lie as I have never been on another package. So I sat and did my calculations based on the messages I received and the standard information provided to find out my account should be sitting on a surplus of R185,99 but DSTV says I owe them +R1000 which are all from reconnection fees. If there is anybody at DSTV who is efficient enough to help me can they please assist me because I honestly don't know what more to do. Before one could go to Hellopeter, complain and get assisted effectively but now coming on this platform means nothing in these organisations because they no longer take pride in service excellence and it's such a shame the way you treat clients that are support
