No debit orders

<p>I subscribed for DSTV 2 years ago. I completed all the documents and the unit was delivered. It was one of the number you sms. My first debit order was deducted and i complained as the unit was only delivered in the middle of the month and a full month was debited. The amount was corrected the next month. I watched DSTV after that every month without any problems. Never was the services interrupted. I had issues with my dish and took the unit to a Multichoice agent and all was tested. Fault was with my dish. The agent also confirmed that the account was all good and up to date. 2 months ago I moved to a new house. I experienced problems and called multichoice. I experienced the same issues as previously and suspected the dish. I was then only told that the account has been suspended as there was no payments. As I dont check my bank account every month and under the impression that the debit orders for Multichoice was deducted monthy I looked into my records. There was no debit orders. I did not change my bank details. If there was outstanding payments why was the services not interrupted. It would have made me aware that there was a fault. Nobody called me. Not once did I receive an call/email/sms to inform me there was a problem.</p> <p>1. I need to know why the debit order was successful in the beginning and after that no debit orders deducted.</p> <p>2. Why did nobody called me to inform me of the issue.</p> <p>3. The services worked 100% - if there was no payment DSTV normally cuts the service. It was not cut.</p> <p>4. Why must I take responsiblility for DSTV's accounts department who messed up?</p> <p>5. Why did nobody after the first call followed up again.</p> <p>6. I will not be liable for any costs as this was not my fault. DSTV messed up and trying to pass the buck.</p> <p>7. I wanted this to be escalated to management but nobody called me.</p> <p>8. I need proof that I was called/smssed/emailed.</p> <p>9. Proof that I received a monthy account.</p> <p> </p> <p>NO info was changed in the past 2 years.</p> <p>I need this issue to be escalated to management. Account must be cleared please!</p>

Good day. To date I had no response or any calls from DSTV. I received a sms informing me that I owe R18 0000,00. I need response as I will not be responsible for this mistake! My debit order details did not change and DSTV did not debit my account. The unit was also not disconnected. Normally with DSTV it's disconnected or a message will be sent if there is any overdue accounts. Nothing was sent to me. I was not informed by phone call or message or email. Nor did I receive statements from DSTV. THIS NEEDS URGENT ACTION AS I REFUSE TO PAY R18 000.00!!!!
