Dstv - what a *******

Highly irritated with DStv. On the 24th of Aug I downgraded my package to the compact package on whatsapp that amounts to R399. Got all my proof. Logged on to the dstv app now after I was unable to use the app for a while ( I had to update the app before I could use it now) and it tells me now that we owe DStv R700+. Didn't make sense to me at all cos I downgraded. Only to be told by the call centre agent that I apparently went in on my app and upgraded to the premium package again. This is utter nonsense. Why would I correspond on whatsapp to change the package and then go on the app to upgrade again. Dstv are robbing us now. I refuse to pay it. I will rather stay without dstv forever.
