It is with regret that we learn of the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced with our service. Please accept our sincerest apologies in this regard.
Our intention is certainly not to provide a sub-standard service to our customers.
Below is the billing break down of the account since the month of September 2019. However, for your clarification, we had a billing system upgrade in the month of August 2019, this would ensure accounts are billed the way they are supposed to be billed moving forward. We did have a few technical issues, which resulted in a billing errors that have now been rectified.
The R549,00, Price Lock contract is broken down as follows:
· R365,00 for the DStv Compact package.· R85,00 for the PVR functions· R119,00 for the hardware and installation
The total amount is R569,00 given the R20,00 discount the contractual amount is R549,00.
We debited the amount of R743.16, on the 01.09.2019:
· R549,00 for the DStv Compact package Price Lock contract.· R35,00 decoder insurance· R35,00 Box Office movie rented on the 18.08.2019.· R119,00 once Price Lock charge for the hardware and installation.
Before the system upgrade the amount of R119,00, was billed in arrears and would be the last installment at the end of the billing. This amount was charged early in your contract to ensure it is not billed at the end, and contract terminates with just the full monthly debit.
The additional amount in September charged was R40.16, and we will credit this amount. In September we were supposed to debit the amount of R738,00.
In October 2019, we debited the amount of R727,00:
· R549,00 for the Price Lock contract· R35,00 insurance· R35,00 Box Office rented on the 27.09.2019.
We will credit the additional amount of R108,00. In the monthly of November 2019, we will credit the additional amount of R59,00, to your DStv account.
In the monthly of December 2019, we will credit the additional amount of R64,00, to your DStv account.
These are amounts come from the discount that the system is automatically supposed to pass in accordance to the contract. However, we do assure you this has been rectified.
We hope you will find the above in order, as a result of the credits on the account this will reduce the amount debited in January 2020.
Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us send us an email at ***.
Kind regards,
DStv: Hello Peter Team.
