DSTV IS A ****!

DSTV keeps disconnecting services even though I have paid you for an entire year! In February 2017 I paid a total amount of R460 to cover my dad’s Easy view Package for the whole year. I called in your consultants prior to making the payment and specifically asked them to do the following: 1) Cancel my premium services on the account as I was moving abroad 2) Cancel the insurance on the premium package 3) Give me the total amount to be paid for the Easyview and Insurance on the Easy View decoder after this i made payment and the amount I paid was as quotes by your consultants.

For the past 3 months I have been getting calls from my dad telling me that his DSTV services have been disconnected and I had to constantly make calls to DSTV to ask them to reconnect the services and when asked why it was disconnected the consultants couldn’t give me a sensible answer because they either don’t understand their job or they are simply confused just as I am. Eventually I was told my insurances on botj decoders were still active which I had to cancel aswell and this goes to show that my insurance was not cancelled as I have requested back in February.

Today I got an sms from DSTV (on my roaming sim card) that I need to pay DSTV R432. My question is, even if I owed DSTV which I am confident I don’t, how would a package as affordable as Easy View, even with insurance included cost R432?

I am greatly upset about this and also annoyed that I have to keep calling DSTV when me paying for the year was really just to AVOID having to call you all the time but guess what? I am still calling. And over and above that, I keep getting text messages. In my last call with DSTV, I specifically asked the consultants if this issue is resolved and won’t happen again, they promised it won’t. And now I am sitting here writing this amd once again the old man’s services got disconnected AGAIN. WHY DSTV?

Can someone from DSTV please sort this out. This is really unnecessary and such a pain. Sort this out ASAP. I paid what I had to pay. Now leave me alone and stop disconnecting my dad’s viewing.

I will await your response

Good day Moshibudi

Thank for sending us your query.

According to our records, the annual payment received of R460.00 on 26 February 2018 is insufficient. The annual subscription for the account is R559.00 including: (R29.00 x 11 months) and (R20.00 x 12 months). Whereas the anniversary date is on 26 February 2018.

An insurance has no one month free discount.

Please pay R99.00 for the reconnection of service. Once the payment reflects, adjustments will be done in the account.

Kind regards

Dinah

Best regards,

This is incorrect as I had only paid the services to last untill December 2018. And even if it was to last me untill February 2019, do you DSTV realize that I would still have a balance currently. Let me calculate that for you 26/02/2018 - 26/08/2018 (R29.00 x 6 = R174.00) Insurance (R20 x 6 months = R120) = R294.00 and because I paid R460 on Feb 26th 2018, it means I still have a BALANCE of R166. That still gives him 3 months worth of VIEWING HIS EASY VIEW PACKAGE... you are such a disgrace that you still don’t u dee Mathematics. Reconnect his services NOW and stop disconnecting it. After 3 months I will make another extended year and I will THINK about it because at this rate your service is weak. Fix it now! Oh and by the way, you just said i owe R99. You know what your sma said I owe this morning R432. And when I went inline on seld help, it said I owe R630. GET AOME ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR SYSTEMS too. Lastly, listen to the phonecall I had with YOUR call center agent in February that said I need to pay R460 to secure viewing for an entire year (which is ONLY 2018! This excludes 2019!)
