Just can't understand why, DSTV?

My DSTV was off last month( April). I didn't pay at the end of May, due to unfortunate circumstances. So this month I have the money to pay again. On 25 April, I paid R800 and an hour later my DSTV comes on. Thank you for that. This morning(9/05) when i got up, it was off again. I waited until 7 am and called the call centre. A lady picked up and i asked her to please switch on my dstv, because i paid my account. She told me that she can't and that I must pay another amount to have it switched on. I tried to explain to her that we didn't have dstv last month, because i couldn't pay it. She just kept on talking while i try to explain. I admit i lost my cool and shouted at her, for that i apologize to her.

DSTV I don't understand, because just yesterday i downloaded my Statement for May and it shows an amount of R374 not yet due. So how is it possible to go from not yet due ,to disconnected. Now i must pay Four Hundred and something to have it connected again?

I must say, your self help service on DSTV website is not working.

Please sort out this mess and switch on my dstv I will wait for your response via email. Email address ********** I can't answer a phone during the day at work. Otherwise call me on ********** 683 after 5pm

AND THAT IS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS YOU LOOSING CUSTOMERS TO OTHER MEANS OF WATCHING TV

Good day Madeleine

Thank you for sending us your query.

I understand that you requested to be contacted after 5 pm. Sadly, it won’t be possible as its after office hours.

The reason for calling was to get your DStv customer number or identity number. Please send your personal details to *** for further assistance.

Kind regards

Good day Madeleine

Thank you for sending us your query.

Our records show that your DStv service was previously suspended on 08 April 2018. For this reason, there was an overdue balance of R187.23.

The payment received of R800.00 was insufficient to keep your Premium service active till 01 June 2018. Please pay R485.00 for the reconnection of service today. The balance advised of will cover your viewing till 01 June 2018.

Please be reminded that the monthly subscription for the Premium package is R809.00. The balance is applicable if the account is paid on date with no overdue balance.

Your service will be restored as soon as the payment reflects in the account.

Kind regards

Dinah

Why R485? If the balance was only R187.23 and then a R9.00 short payment. I am not going to pay all those R50 reconnection fees. According to me I have to pay R196.23 to be up to date. What make up the difference of R288.77

I always pay 25/26 of the month, not the end of the month, via EFT
