DSTV activated without my consent...

My DSTV account was activated and I was not made aware... By an agent named Boiki... She picked up a chat between someone else and I, where I was getting information to activate at a later date, and she then activated the account... I spoke to Phumelele on Friday, 29 May, when I called in, she advised that she sees that has happened and will try to remove the bank account details from my account, but if the magtape already went through, I need to contact them again if the account is debited... My account was debited on 01 June... I then contacted them on 02 June and was told that the refund will be processed between 3 to 7 working days.. Today is day 7... I contacted them again and was told to wait another 7 working days because refunds take 7 - 14 days... This has been a major inconvenience, ********* and the misinformation was just the cherry on top... Nobody has time or funds for this during this time... It's atrocious...

I've seen very many complaints with the same canned response... Nobody ever gets back to anyone...

It's been 7 working days since I was first told that the refund would reflect... I don't understand how this is such a delay, when you guys debits, it's not done a day later, yet this is such a tedious process...
