MultiChoise charging for cervices not rendored

I will not recommend DSTV MultiChoice to anyone. I had issues with my decoder in the beginning of the year, so I asked to upgrade to the a new package with a new decoder. All this was done telephonically. The person that helped me gave me a date that their selected installer will bring the decoder and do the full installation. I had to take a day's leave from work just to sit and wait the whole Friday for noting. I phoned MultiChoise the Monday and after several attempts and a hour of waiting on the phone to find out what was the issue, they told me that they will escalate the matter and come back to me. I waited for a couple of days and had to go through the same procedure of phoning them, getting redirected to different people just to hear that they will again escalate the matter. Almost a month later I phoned them and told them to cancel my MultiChiose account and also the installation as I already paid for a months services that I could not use. I got reference no ***0I77 for the cancellation call. The end of the month came and they took money out of my account for the installation of the dish and decoder that I never received. I reversed the debit order and phoned them again to go through the same procedure just for someone to give me the accounts no for MultiCoice. Every time I tried to phone the no they gave me I got a response that the no does not exists and when I phone Muticoice they keep on telling me to phone account department with the same no that says it does not exist. Now The have handed me over to the attorneys for the installation charges and added interest on the amount. What can I do as I have cancelled the service and did not receive anything from them.

I am still not happy with the the issue of being handed over to attorneys in connection with my an installation that never took place. I was phoned by a DSTV representative that promised me on 15 November 2021 that all this will be sorted out. But I still receive phone calls from the attorneys.
Sandile from DSTV said that all this will be sorted out within a couple of days after he phoned me and gave me Ref no: ***-I95 in connection with the call. Please stop harassing me.

It's almost a year now since I started complaining about DSTV Multichoice and I am sad to say that I have been totally ignored by them. The attorneys stopped harassing me, but it still shows on my credit score that I own DSTV Multichoice money on two separate account. I have both my Ref no when I called them the first time to cancel everything and the ref no. when their representative (Mr. Sandile) phoned me and promised that everything will be sorted out within a couple of day's. I spoke to a couple of colleagues that had the same run in with DSTV Multichoice. I will not recommend anyone to ever make use of their services as they are full of promises when you apply, but do not deliver.
