Overcharging for my DSTV subscription - Debit Order

<p>I have a DSTV premium subscription with extraview and over the last 3 months I have been debited increasing amounts for my DSTV subscription.</p> <p>Nov was R908.50 (correct amount)<br />Dec was R1,288.00<br />Jan was 1,804.16.</p> <p>In November I disconnected my secondary decoder (extraview) as I was having renovations done.</p> <p>On the 2 Dec DSTV debited my account for R1,288.00 instead of R908.50, which I called to query and was told this would be resolved and the overcharged money would be returned to me (this did not happen).</p> <p>When the renovations were complete (beginning of Dec) I reconnected my decoder and it said I should call the call centre to reconnect the service, which I did and I told the helpdesk that I have a premium subscription with extraview. After the call all was working, no problems.</p> <p>On the 4 Jan DSTV debited my account for 1,804.16 instead of R908.50, which I again called to query and I was informed that the person who reconnected my service in Dec didn’t just add the extraview back but took out a second premium subscription. The helpdesk added back the extraview and removed the extra premium subscription and said that the overcharged amounts have been reversed.</p> <p>But when I log into MyDSTV it says I owe R 146.18 on the 1 Feb 2017, and that my account has been credited R762.32. This is incorrect, the amount credited should be R1,275.16</p> <p>Please could someone rectify this, I cannot keep on calling in to the helpdesk to get this sorted out.</p>

4 days and all i get is the standard response message from DSTV. I shudder to think what will be deducted from my account end of this month seeing as though debit order amounts are changed without my permission.

Good morning,

The amount to be adjusted is R1,275.16.

On my MyDSTV account it shows that R1155,09 has been adjusted.

The following billings have been udjusted but have been adjusted short:

2016/12/31 23:02 DStv Premium Subscription R 759.00

2017/01/04 07:52 DStv Premium Subscription Reversal R -685.55

Difference of: R -73.45

2016/12/31 23:02 Access Fee R 85.00

2017/01/04 07:52 Access Fee Reversal R -76.77

Difference of: R -8.23

2016/12/31 22:58 Access Fee R 38.39

This has not been adjusted: R 38.39

I have a spreadsheet detailing the incorrect billings and the adjustments made against them and where the adjustments fall short, if you need me to send this to you, please send me an email address where i can send the spreadsheet to.

Regards

Bruce

Thank you very much for resolving this Rupert.

The original refund amount wasn't refunded to my bank account but was bunded with the second refund amount as a credit on my account. This wasn't a problem, just mentioning it.

All seems to be fine now.

Regards

Bruce
