Human agents vs robots

I sent in a request to disconnect my services on the 10 /01/2020 via whatsup. Then I went onto the ussd platform to view what my outstanding balance would be when I reconnect my services and I was notified of having a credit and no outstanding amount. On the the 12/01/2020 I sent a request via whatsup to downgrade my package and I received this message; You have a DStv account, but no active decoders. You need to buy and install a decoder before you can start using a package.

Click this link to find a decoder: http://getdstv.dstv.com/SelectDecoder.

I the sent a MSG via messenger to downgrade my package to easyview and I was told of a reconnection fee. My outstanding balance went from Here is your account balance:

*Account balance:* R 0.0 *Total amount due:* R 0.0

*Payment due:* 2020-02-10 *Status:* Overdue

*Customer number:* ***4

To

We've stopped your DStv as you've not paid. To reconnect, pay R114.06 using ref no.***4. Once paid, we'll reconnect you. To pay: payat.io/dstv/***4.

After speaking to your live agents. I'm not liable for a reconnection fee as a disconnection was requested on the account and confirmation of that is not having an outstanding balance, now I'm cheated by ur live agents saying no reconnection had been scheduled and I must pay a reconnection fee prior to my services being downgraded.

If this is what MultiChoice does, then I'm not ur idiot as I have requested a downgrade well in advance and I'm not liable for a reconnection fee. Please downgrade my package to easyview as that's what I do on a monthly basis when I have credit sufficient to cover my viewing. It's not my fault that your robots failed to action my request in time but managed to update my payment details

Hi Helga, 

Your payment date is on the 10th of every month and your account was disconnected on the 10th of January. If you reconnect or downgrade, you have to make a payment, since we did not receive a payment on the 10th of Jan. 

Remember that you need to pay before you can view channels.

Regards
Kagiso

Best regards,

I requested a disconnection on the 10th. I have credit on my account that enables me to downgrade to a lower package.

You didn't even read what my issue was, u just commenting and concerning urself about a payment when I never made mention of a payment.

Why am I liable for a reconnection fee when I requested for the services to be disconnected. Ur whatsup service even confirmed that I have a DStv account but no active service. Last month when I disconnected my service I had to call in to notify the consultant what package I am on. This month u want a reconnection fee
