DSTV bad service

I am a DSTV customer for quite a few years now. This month, June 2022, I made a payment on the 6th of June via EFT to DSTV. 2 days later my service was still not active, no problem, I spoke to an agent on Whatsapp and she helped me very nicely, I sent proof of payment, and she activated my service again.

However, 2 days later my service got disconnected, now I phoned DSTV, they then say I did not pay. The payment still has not been allocated. I then rep**** that I have sent proof of payment ( Payment ***), they then reactivated my service. I then got an SMS from DSTV telling me my service will be disconnected, I then sent the same proof of payment again, I got a new reference number( Payment ***). Everytime the operater/consultant tells me the my problem will be escalated.

Today I contact DSTV via online chat to activate Xtraview on my package, and the agent/consultant tells me that there is no active decoder on my profile, I tell her about the issue of payment, and the last time I spoke to DSTV they said the payment has not been allocated. Which she confirmed.

Every time I spoke to a consultant they said that EFT payments takes 3 days to allocate. Also that they will escalate the non-allocation of the payment.

This service from DSTV is not good, actually very bad.

My next question is if the payment has not been allocated by the end of the month, will I be billed for 2 months?

Why is nobody phoning me back when ask, or even not contacting me like there emails say when you send a proof of payment, that say they will contact you within 24 Hours?

Nobody contacts me, and I get NO RESULTS from DSTV.

Thank you for your reply via Hello Peter. I want a phone call from a manager in Central Finance, so that I can explain to that person what is going on.

Kind regards

Still no result from DSTV. My payment has still not been allocated. No one has called me yet to explain why my payment has not been allocated. This is after numerous promises that my payment will be allocated.

I got this feeling in my gut that at the end of the month they are going to bill me for this month(June) and for next month(July).

DSTV, this not good service at all.
