DSTV Pricelock admin part 2

This is the second time I am posting on Hello Peter on the same price lock issue I raised with you guys in mid November which shows your customer service is shocking. Why launch a product when you do not have sufficient support measures in place for it? Everytime I call in I am told I cannot speak to the relevant department directly and told to wait for a call from them which does not help my query. And this is 1.5 months later with little progress. If you take our money surely that money should be used to put sufficient support measures in place or else you are not different to any other **** out there.

When am I getting my refund for the amount you deducted off my account last month and why am I still getting messages about needing to pay for the price lock account and why did the call center agent confirm that there is still a debit order on my account when it is clearly recorded on your system that I cancelled my subscription? ID number: ********** 554087

To all those reading this and considering signing up for price lock - DO NOT EVER DO IT - when you need them to resolve certain billing issues you will waste your time and money and end up spending more than it's really worth. The fact that you cannot speak to the department directly to help resolve your issue SPEAKS VOLUMES. When I started calling around mid November, I was told by DSTV that my issue would be escalated to the department and only around the third time I called did it seemingly happen. DSTV you can listen to your calls or look at the transcript records to see proof of what I am saying.

Good day Mmai-Dikgang

I fully understand the frustration and the inconvenience caused. I'm also aware that there's no amount of apology can improve your disappointment until the case is resolved.

Nevertheless, I do apologise for the delayed response in this regard.

The case is still pending investigation from the Price Lock finance team. You will be updated with the feedback as soon as received.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us.

Kind regards

Dinah

Best regards,

Hi Dinah I am glad you appreciate the frustration this has caused me but your response is not very different to what I have been hearing for the past few weeks so isn't helpful: "The case is still pending investigation from the Price Lock finance team. You will be updated with the feedback as soon as received. " What would help me understand what to expect given how long this has been pending and the vague responses I have being receiving is for you to tell me 1) When I will receive the refund from the 27 Nov debit 2) when the Price Lock cancellation will be effective as I am still getting smses regarding high amounts I owe bearing in mind that DSTV has the unit so I'm not benefiting anything from this pricelock.

Dinah this in incompetence beyond words. You guys have double debited by account AGAIN after I paid for my normal subscription yesterday by EFT. I demand that this gets resolved immediately AND you will pay for any other bank charges I will incur if any of my other debit orders bounce because of 1) the double debit order that you guys did last month and STILL NOT YET PAID BACK and 2) this debit order. After years of loyalty to DSTV and zero issues of paying for my account, this is how you guys treat me? I'm looking for an alternative.

Good day Mmai-Dikgang

We've tried to get hold of you with the Price Lock team but could not succeed.

They need to directly follow up with you. It turns out that the decoder was delivered at your work place and S Shanelle signed for it.

Please provide an alternative number where we can reach you.

Kind regards

Dinah

Hi Dinah. I called Multichoice back again and left them a message to call me back. It's the same number. I hope they will try again during the course of the day. Yes, that is correct it was delivered to my work address around 21 Nov but it was collected again by FedEx as instructed by Multichoice on 8 Dec.

Hi Dinah When will they call me again? It's really difficult dealing with MChoice as I have no indication of when they will call, they leave no voice mail, only do one attempt is made at a time and there is no mechanism to even return calls to the caller. This is unlike the sales process where they call you multiple times to get the sale through. At least if there is an indication, then I can make myself available during that time as i'm not always able to take their calls at times when they do call. This has become really tedious and an unnecessarily long and time consuming process.
