DSTV Decoder Insurance - Not cancelled as requested

In mid November 2019, i decided that since my DSTV subscription was too expensive and lets face a waste of time, i decided to cancel the subscription as well as the insurance on the decoder. I placed my request to cancel on the 17/11/2019. On the 22 I checked online and i saw that i still had balance for the December 2019 subscription which included the monthly insurance. I checked once more today and i see that they have finally dropped the monthly subscription but I am still being charged for the insurance. Which should have been cancelled as well. The payment is due on Sunday 01/12/2019. I am extremely irriatated that they have done only half what was requested. I would like some to contact me to cancel the insurance immediately. For heavens sake I have even disconnected the decoder there is absolutely no reason to continue with the insurance for the decoder. Why should i pay for a service which i specifically asked to be cancelled. The service from DSTV multichoice is very slow and unacceptable.

Hi Devashnie, 

We apologise for the delay in canceling the insurance. 

Kindly be aware that the insurance is canceled on the customer payment date. Your payment date is on the 1st of every month. This means that the cancellation should be done on the 1st of December since the request was done on the 17th of November 2019. 

We have escalated your query to the insurance team so that it can be canceled. 

Regards
Kagiso

Best regards,

This needs to be resolved now!. Yet again this morning, i received an sms advising that i need to make payment. Please cancel the decoder insurance immediately!. I was told on Monday 18/11/2019 that a person from DSTV would call me regarding the insurance, however more than a week later no on has made contact with regarding the insurance cancellation.

I was told that the insurance charge would fall away on the 1st December 2019, however this evening I logged into the DSTV self service site and I see the insurance charge still appears and reflects as it is due today 01/12/2019. Further to this I go yet another sms advising I need to make payment of the outstanding amount. Really the service is so pathetic. At this point i know I made the right decision cutting off my subscription for DSTV & getting an alternative service provider.
