DSTV *******

I canceled DSTV Subscription for almost a year and this year in February 2020 DSTV kept on sending messages that I can pay R250 without reconnection fee and before paying for this amount I called DSTV to verify and confirm this information. Of which the agent confirmed that I won't pay anything and I requested that my payment date be moved from 15 to the 25th of the month and I was told that was done as a result I paid the R250 on the 23rd March 2020. However 13 April I received a message that my payment is due on the 15th .I called the Call Centre again to enquiry this on the 16th April and I spoke to a Tracey Lee who confirmed that my payment date is moved to the 25th but 20 April my account is disconnected and the amount due was R359.27. After a numerous calls I was told that I need to pay R553.67 for something that was not done from the company. Prorata and reconnection fee that the call centre agent didn't change the dates as requested. I don't understand why I have to pay for such amounts from their own incompetence. The other person whom I was told is senior stuff put me on hold with annoying music for over 10 minutes after I requested his name and never said anything. I already spent a lot of airtime just to get my account fixed of which is over the actual subscription fee and no assistance. Why such a big company doesn't provide reference numbers.

Hi Noni, 

As per our telephonic conversation, we have changed your payment date to the 25th of every month and credited your account for the period 20th to the 24th of April. Please pay R389.70 to reconnect the account, after making the payment, kindly ask the person assisting to reverse the reconnection fee. 

We have also left a note on your DStv account stating that you should not be charged the reconnection fee. 

Regards
Kagiso

Thank you to the agent who called me back regarding this complaint. My issue is resolved.
I wish even those I spoke to previously they were so helpful, understanding and know what they are doing.
