********** smartcard activation on my account

Good day,

I am becoming highly aggravated and frustrated with the appalling service snd handling of a rather serious issue by Multichoice.

Last month I called Multichoice requesting that they check if I can qualify for a 2nd explora on the pricelock plan on my account. The consultant called me back rather insistant that I take this decoder, I told her to wait for me to confirm if I wanted it before processing the transaction I first wanted to consider my options. A week later I get a call from a delivery company telling me they have a decoder for delivery. I advised them that I had not authorised such an order and I am out of town. The gentleman said he would speak to Multichoice and return the decoder.

On 13 November 2017 I recieve a sms notification that a smartcard was activated on my account.

I have been calling the DSTV callcentre since 16 November 2017 trying to get matter investigated and resolve, but I have gotten no assistance, except finally today I get a response from some *********** idiot telling me they will only reverse the billing once I return the decoder. The issue was that I never recieved the 2nd decoder and I never activated this decoder.

I have spoken to the following with no success of finding any resolution: 21 November 2017: Zandile, escalated matter to a Xolani Mzolo ref: ********** 0-I144 23 November 2017: Thabo (Princeton) Maphosa escalation ref: ********** 11:12- Spoke to Michelle Muleya 24 November 2017: Kgothatso and a Clive.

All these individuals promised to get back to me and none of them ever did. I work hard for my money and if Multichoice takes it's clients for granted then I can cancel my subscriptions. I will not pay for a decoder I never received. You can not syphone money from my account for a decoder one of your employees has ****** and are charging to my account.

Reviewer Update
An amount of R715.45 has been debited from my account for this decoder and that is ever so upsetting because of how long I have been calling to get this matter resolved and nobody cared to assist me. People simply make empty promises and none have yet to call me as promised. Just this morning I spoke to a supervisor who had problems with giving me her details just in case she does not ensure that a manager returns my call. The call centre staff at Multichoice are incredibly *********** and have no sense of accountability whatsoever.
