Today 2017-05-30 i went into the bank and did a stop payment thereafter went back to dstv to pay via cash and was informed by Londiwe that changes have been made for me as a cash payer.

i paidR385 for this month,

but i am so disatisfied with the state of events and the occurence.

finkie said she would provide feedback tomorrow as she is of today

but to be in limbo for 4 weeks is not on

surely they should have a SLA times.

the customers needs comes first

for the days i did not have dstv who will compensate for that inconvenience

a meere apology will not suffice

for all the running around and calls

utter nonsense when dstv can not provide sustainable sevice to their clients yet premiums are at a staggering rate

and for what only REPEATS

thank you

Good morning,

I received a call yesterday afternoon from Finkie (supervisor from the durban branch) after 17:00pm informing me that they managed to find the error for the 2015-08 query, apparently it was an IT error.

she then apoligised for that of which I was not at all impressed as on the 2017-05-29 they took an exorbant amount again of R887 as mentioned on my previosly comments.

Finkie then said she will give me one month free subscription which i said what about the inconvenniece and loss i incurred.

i told her they made 2 errors on my account whiched costed me 4 weeks of hasstles and grief.

she said she will speak to her manager and let meknow what they can do.

not good enough did they consult me when they just took a large sum from me NO

did they provide concrete feedback to me and the times they said they would NO

i told her she should have her manager call me.

right now i feel like cancelling my subscribtion with DSTV altogether and find alternative means.

regards,

Farzanah

on the 01st of June Finkie called me and said it was an IT error and advised the manager will call me since then i am awaiting the managers call.

what a joke DSTV has become.

no words for their professionalism and ethics
