Extremely poor DSTV service

On the 4th of December I paid R410 for a compact streaming package. it never showed up in my DSTV profile... the money went off my bank account.... I have tried to reach out to countless of your support regarding this and I am just told the whole time to wait and no one ever gets back to me. Have not gotten to watch anything for 1 second.... its more than a month now.

I have reached out to countless of their support staff. Promised that i will be met with a response within a certain time frame. then nothing. i have spoken to 4 different agents or support people who just disappear without any feedback. this is on their live chat alone. I have phoned their helpline. only to sit for 15 mins and then get forwarded from one person to another till the line disconnects.

I have made a complaint on Facebook and twitter, DSTV responded to the public thread all helpful and never actually contacted me... I have tried emailing. i have tried their Whatsapp channel.

I have a open support ticket, a ton of emails and screenshots proving everything I say.

THEY ARE REFUSING TO OFFER ME SERVICE OR THE PRODUCT I PAID FOR.

This is not acceptable. please help me somehow. I don't know if this review will solve anything but I will not rest till I get a 100% full refund.

I will give you till the end of the week. Friday the 7th of January 2022. if I have not received at least feedback on the issue by then. I will contact my bank to reverse the money and I will open a ******** case. since my money has been taken from me without delivery of goods or services.

Hi  Stephan Kroukamp,

Kindly note that we need to refund the money from the very same bank it came from. 

We need a bank statement that reflects the amount paid and ID copy.

Kind regards

But

as expected. the money is nowhere to be found. hasn't shown up in my account.

They have probably sent it to the wrong account or some inexcusable, *********** excuse is now next...

DSTV is officially the worst and most useless company on this entire planet.

I hope no one ever gives your useless company a cent.

Another thing.... its simple. but i also work in IT and customer support.

The lack of effort and proffesionalism is SHOCKING TO SAY THE LEAST.

I Contacted them on the 18t of January 2022 because the money has not reflected.

i got the following email:
We will like to apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please accept our sincere apology in this regards. May you please provide us with a stamped bank statement for the finance department to approve the refund.


It is just completely useless and utterly confusing and *********** service.

I have lost countless hours of my life arguing with them to just give me back my money for a service and product i never received. instead they make me beg for my own money. disgusting.
