Made to feel like a ********

<p>On the 25th May i made a manual payment of R1948, I also requested if i am not mistaken for my debit date to be changed from the 02nd to the 25th (wasnt done). On the 02.06.2017 an amount of R2793,77 was deducted off my account. I then contacted the call centre on the 08.06.2017 not sure of the time unfortunately when i spoke to the 1st agent, Tshego, who explained that the money was received and the debit went off and i can contact FNB to have it reversed and most importantly that my dstv account was now in a credit and i would not need to pay for June, I proceeded to contact FNB who advised that there were insufficient funds in the account so it cannot be reveresed. i then called DSTV again and spoke to another agent Boitshogo (forgive the spelling) explaining the same thing i told Tshego the first time, and i was told the same thing about my DSTV account and i wouldnt have to pay for June and July, no mention of if the funds come back unpaid would this not be the case. (I could be mistaken though) but i highly doubt i missed that vital piece of info.. This afternoon i get an sms telling me i am in arrears of an amount of R1835,36 and to avoid my payment profile from reflecting negatively i need to make payment. I then called in and spoke to Mammi who kept me on hold for awhile and i put down, i then called again and spoke to an agent who i found to be very rude making me feel as if it is my problem and my fault that i'm in this situation. I explained to Zanele several times about what was said on two seperate occassions but her response was to explain how the process works. i told her its not my problem because i was informed by 2 DSTV agents the above mentioned and no one bothered to contact me after the 08th to say this was not the case, she then said i should've received a mail. i've gone through my history and there's no emails sent through. I was made to feel that this is my problem when i am going on information supp**** to me by agents that should know the entire process. I therefore did not budget for this amount that is outstanding. </p> <p>I am utterly disgusted in the way this was handled and i would like copies of all 2 recordings of my conversations with the team to prove my innocences. also i will make payment of this outstanding amount but i do feel it is totally unfair that due to lack of information or training on the agent's side i now need to scramble around for money i did not budget for. </p> <p>It sad that a customer is made to feel like a ******** when she was only going on the information provided to her by people she trusted to provide her with the correct information.</p> <p>Zanele i feel needs to also learn soft s****s, as i asked what she can do for me and in parrot fashion just repeated a process.. Not even a willingness to assist. and tells me the debit information has now been updated. after i requested twice for this to be done. No customer empathy at all.</p> <p>Please can these recordings be emailed to me on ********** <p> </p> <p>Utterly disappointed or disgusted... </p>

Please can this be resolved today. all i want is the voice recordings of these conversations because i believe that the agents at the call centre provide half truths and then the 3rd recording i was made to feel like its my fault that the money has not been paid. then another thing no debit order went off from DSTV for the amount of R1835,36 yet i received a notification of it reflecting negatively. So please help me to understand why i would think i was in a credit????? and this morning i see DSTV tried debiting R35? what was this for???????? i need answers or i will be taking this to the media..... DSTV Call Centre does not provide clients with full information? And yesterday i was told that i should've gotten an email notifying me that my account was in arrears? please can i have a copy of that email as i searched all my mails and the last email i received was a survey of the call done on the 08th June???????????????????/

REALLY...... If i do not get feedback or a call confirming that the agents were at fault and my account is credited, this will be going to the newspaper..
