DSTV Stole my money

We cancelled our home DSTV subscription on-line on the 9th of January using the DSTV self service portal. We received confirmation that it was successful, BUT then then the money was still taken from our account on the 11th of January. I called multichoice - a 30min telephone call later I was assured that we would be refunded the full amount of R779 and I received reference number ***7-i20. I waited a month for my refund, but then called the call centre on the 16th of February, when I was advised that they required a copy of the account holders ID and bank statement to process. NO mention of this requirement was made in the first call to them. I've sent the required documents to their 'enquiry' email, but have not even received a confirmation of receipt from them. I find it totally unacceptable that they took my money and I now have to follow up to get it back. I find multichoice to be one of THE worst companies to deal with.
