Pathetic Service

Good day,

I am highly upset with the service i have received from DSTV(multi-choice).

On the 20/04/2018 i purchased a dstv single view 5S decoder.

a week before on the 15/04/2018 i called in to the call center (using my fiances phone ********** 275) enquiring about purchasing a new decoder and what it would take and how much would my prorated fee be from the 15th to the 20th of April.(but i was not told that if i purchased a decoder without installation i would need to still get an installer to come in to assist with the installation as i already have a dish and cabling and thought i could just connect my decoder and start watching dstv.)

on Friday 20th April 2018 I called( ********** 475 My Number) in to the call center and spoke to katlego qhoboshiane(who did not ask me about installation or anything of that sort)

i then got home around 10PM that night and tried connecting my decoder only to get an error message about connection by the step 3 of 4(installation wizard)

i then called into the call center to speak to a consultant who could not assist me and a manager who was not understanding my point that i can not pay for an installer to come in as i was not told by any consultant during any of my conversations that i would need an installer to come in to assist with installation even though i had a dish.

i also refuse to pay the R406 that was due yesterday as i have not used the decoder at all as yet and got pathetic service from a manager in the call center insisting that i must pull my own money out to pay an installer to assist with my problem and that he would not be able to assist in pulling the calls i made using my fiances phone , to listen to the calls i made prior to Friday, as she is not a DSTV customer which i feel is nonsense reason being that you should be able to pull any call with any number whether a customer or not (as i know this because i work in a call center).

i would like to receive feed back with my Query ASAP as this service unacceptable.

Dear Luke van Rooi

We apologise for the miscommunication, I certainly understand how our failure to advise you accordingly has caused you confusion.

The performance of your DStv decoder is directly related to the quality of the installation (including use of approved equipment and correct alignment of the satellite dish).

MultiChoice does not offer an installation service, nor do we sell installation equipment. We therefore cannot provide quotes or estimates regarding installation.

Installation prices are set out by installers, Multichoice does not dictate the prices they set out, any extra installation that may be required to ensure that you get quality installation will be at the discretion of the installer.

Your DStv services have been cancelled. Once the installation has been fixed, you can contact us to activate services again.

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards

Boitumelo

Best regards,

LR

i understand that but why was i not told this in the first place by the consultants that i spoke to previously? do they not know how to do their jobs or how to assist clients appropriately? it goes back to me stating that no consultant mentioned to me that i should check my current cabling and dish before getting the decoder if i had known that i would have gotten a decoder with installation. why cant you'll accept responsibility on you'lls side for not mentioning this to clients?
