Ineffeciency at its best.....

<p>I had my Dstv (Explorar & extra view) disconnected as I was moving house and called back on the 28th and its been a real struggle from then. I called the call centre and was advised that I need to pay R 369 to get my services disconnect. I opted to wait and pay the money on Monday the 29th, I called the call centre again and was advised that I now need to pay R180 as I had a credit of R 189 on my account. I paid the R180 and called the call centre back so that they can reconnect me. My explora was reconnected but not the full service and the other device was still disconnected. On the very next day (30th August) I wake up to a debit order from Dstv which i reversed as I will be paying twice for the same thing. At this stage I have already called Dstv and spoken to 7 different different consultants amongst them Gabisile, Boitumelo and another Boitumelo who is the Supervisor but my issues where still not resloved, all of these people promised to call me back but none of them called back. They managed to resolve my PVR services and then my extra view stopped working. Im so disappointed that such a huge organisation can be so ineffecient including its people. I cannot imagine how Multichoice /Dstv can immensely fail to troubleshoot their own products. Today I now get a message that my services have been suspended. If anyone care to look at this as Im getting a I dont care attitude from this organisation, my reference number is ********** 3-I80.</p>

Hi Elna

Thank you for the response.

I see you have listed what you say I owe on the account, Im not seeing an acknowledgement on the following:

Bad service that I have received to date.

The technical problem that is still not solved from your end (my extra view is still not working but you've been charging me for it)

When I called your call centre for reconnection I was advised to pay R180 for reconnection, which I did - whose fault is it that you are giving incorrect amounts? Im not even seeing an apology for the inconvenience that you have caused for me, the amount of time I spent on the phone trying to get your products solved is also not acknowledged.

The R180 that I paid is not reflecting on your breakdown (how should I trust that the amount s that are listed on your breakdown are correct)

The R139 that was debited on my account on the 21st of August is also not reflecting on your breakdown.

I am even more frustrated than I was before and I think Dstv / Multichoice thinks that its ok to treat paying customers the way Im being treated.

I would really appreciate if this matter can be escalated to someone who will be able to get the facts rights.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Sarah
