Lack of feedback after complaint lodged and unauthorised money debited

I wish to complain about the non-feedback regarding the *****ulent case I lodged with you on the 27th of May 2024 at 08:33am. I spoke to the consultant, over the phone, for 32 minutes 35 seconds. I subsequently had various telephonic interactions with your company. On the 28th of May 2024 at 08:01 I called, and I spoke to a consultant for 1 hour 14 minutes. Today, 04 June 2024, I called and spoke to Andiswa Mthanga and I was shocked when she informed me that the (DSTV) system does not say anything about my matter except for the fact that there is an escalation and she is unable to give me feedback regarding what is happening.

I wish to point out that on the 28th of May 2024, I received a call from a lady who said she was investigating my complaint and she wanted me to send her a screenshot of what was on my phone. The call was at 11:16 am and it lasted 2 minutes and 37 seconds. On the 29th of May, election day, at 19:39 I received a call from the same lady and the call lasted 19 minutes 35 seconds. My complaint is regarding an amount of R1 788.4 that was ********ly debited from my account. Packages were added to my account which were not authorized by me which has led to me suffering a financial loss.

I want feedback regarding the complaint that I lodged, and I want to be refunded the money that I suffered.

I did not authorise to be in premium and I want to revert to my original package which I have been on for a couple of years now.

I would appreciate it if I could receive urgent feedback as it is unfair that after numerous telephone conversations and sending all the relevant screenshots I still have no feedback

Your urgent attention to this matter would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Can someone please call me back? I was speaking to a lady by the name of Balesa and the call cut why we were still speaking. Also, note that I have decided to refer the matter to ICASA for an official complaint regarding what happened.

Dear DSTV
Please note that I have decided to lodge a formal complaint against what happened to ICASA. Below is a summary of my complaint.
An unauthorized number of packages were added to my DSTV account which led to an amount of R1 788.40 being debited on my bank account. I complained and after speaking to various consultants, I am being given conflicting information. One consultant informed me that I would not be refunded because I authorized the changes on my app and when I informed them that was impossible because when I logged in into my DSTV app it showed me insulting words (I have proof) and the section where one could make the changes had been deactivated(frozen) making it impossible to do anything. (I have proof) I would also receive an error message. (I have proof). Today, the 6th of June 2024, I received a call from a lady by the name of Baleseng who informed me that the changed were made via the DSTV Whatsapp. This is not possible because I only downloaded the DSTV WhatsApp on the 27th of May and when I tried to use the service it said my details were not recognised. I received this information twice. (I have proof of this).
I also find it puzzling that on the MyDSTV app, under transaction history all the amounts charged have been reversed and my account is now sitting on R200 plus credit, yet I have not been refunded my money.
Could you please give me a reference number, I want to refer this matter to ICASA. Please note that I compiled all the proof into a folder that shows that I couldn't have done the changes from my side.
Kind regards
