Multichoice unwilling to refund billing errors

Absolutely shocking customer service!

Requested a refund on my account balance (overbilling was as a result of a technical error) three weeks ago and to date have had zero feedback or seen any money. SO tired of companies that claim to be 'Proudly South African' taking advantage of consumers. Why is it so difficult to get your money back when you have been over-charged for services?

Hi Nicola, 

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We tried to contact you on ***, however, your line rang unanswered. 

Kindly note that the refund was not approved by our accounts team as the POP provided is not sufficient. Please provide us with your bank statement reflecting the amounts deducted. You can forward the statement to *** and provide us with the reference number so we can recapture the refund.

Regards, 
DStv: Hello Peter Team 

Best regards,

NM

Good day

Thank you for the feedback. I was unfortunately in a meeting when you tried to call.

I will submit the documents as requested to ***, however it is frustrating that I was not told that I needed to provide the bank statements at the time that I requested the refund which was during a visit to the customer care centre.

Hi Nicola, 

We apologise once again for the unpleasant experience.

We have received the documents and we have recaptured the refund. The first approval has been done and we are awaiting the second approval. 

Please allow 48 hours for the refund to reflect on your end.
