DSTV changes the goalposts

I am a LONG TIME subscriber to the DSTV service and have always paid my monthly account by DEBIT ORDER, with NEVER a problem. Now I want to take up their \Price Lock\" offer for an Explora for R899pm x 24 months. My current monthly bill for Premium/Dual View is R779pm. All of a sudden they insist on doing a credit check on me now in order to qualify for the extra R120 per month (and a R150 \"admin\" charge)!!! Furthermore, the account is in my wife's name and I pay the debit order through my bank account - and have done so for well over 20 years. But now they say this is unacceptable - the account must be in my name OR my wife must pay the debit order through her account!!! Since when does a Company get away with telling a long-standing client with an impeccable credit record with the Company what to do??? I am going to cancel my DSTV altogether at the end of this month now. They are taking their clients for granted, just like the cell phone companies. BAD MANNERS, BAD ATTITUDE!"
