Displayed balance not matching what they tell me I owe

According the DStv self service portal my balance is R892.89 due 27 Dec 2017. Yet, I was cut off on the 10th of Dec. I made a payment on the 15th of November to catch up my account and was reconnected, so at worst I should have to pay again on the 15th of December. I went into the Randburg service centre and asked them to reconnect and they refused, saying I owe them R962.89 - according to their back office system. My latest statement, dated 29 November shows an amount due of R38.80 - NOT YET DUE. So what they are displaying to the customer in the self-service portal is not what they are telling the customer. I asked them to at least connect me to the 15th of December and then I would pay again - they refused.

Reviewer Update
Dear DStv You responded on the 12th to say you would get back to me as soon as possible, yet today is the 14th and still no response. It feels like you are just dragging this situation out as long as possible till I am so frustrated without my DStv that I am forced to pay. I feel that the consumer protector would be very interested in how you display one amount to the customer with a due date yet want them to pay another amount and cut them off if they do not pay. Please sort this out ASAP, as it is very frustrating for the customer. Thanks Mark
