Pathetic service, absolute ******* service

I have had pathetic service from DSTV. I sent a query on the "bot" send e-mails, called and the service i have received from a Thobile and Jackson have been. I re-connected my dstv in March so that my daughters could watch for what it's worth. Bascically for lockdown only.When i reconnected I specifically told Thobile that it is for one month only. I use Netflix and didn't want to commit myself indefinately to a subscription with repeat after repeat. Well the month went by and the DSTV got switched off about a week after it was supposed to. What a story I got given by the incompetant ones who I spoke to each time i called. I spoke to a Nokanya, Busiswe, Nokhulele,Michelle, Thobile and Jackson. Not one bothered to call me as they said they would. I was even put through to other operators without warning and then had to explain myself ALL over again. The last one was a lady at customer retention or something to that effect. Even she didnt call back as promise. So this is why I am so furious at the lack of service. Imagine who else is receiving this ******* service. Anyway I got so irritated that i paid for the week overlap from DSTV, which I should never have done becasue when i paid i didn't change the amount to only that weeks amount and in error paid another month. I am now totally finished with DSTV, and i know I am not the only one. Multichoice is going to lose another 100 000 customers, I can see it happening. Pathetic service will not be tolerated and they'll lose customers.

Firstly, I would really like to commend Kagiso on his excellent service and turnaround time. He was extremely professional and had all the info on hand. I honestly wish this was the type of service I received from the beginning, as this is the type of service everyone should be getting. He understood exactly what my problem was and very efficiently sorted it out. There and then. He alone has restored a bit of faith I have DSTV services. Thank you Kagiso!!!!

Just when I thought things were beig sorted out......Nothing!!!!!! I called dstv yesterday to enquire about the refund and was asked a few questions, which I answered. The lady said that the refund will take 24 hours......yes 24 hours. This morning I read an email from DSTV requesting copy id, three months stamped bank statements and proof of payment. I dont mind sending the info BUT COME ON!!!!!!! three months stamped!! bank statements. No ways am i standing in a bank queue for that. Anyway surely in todays times and today's technology that's so old school and ridiculous. I called the call centre once again!!!!!!!!! and went crazy at the poor lady who was unfortunate to get my call, I demanded she call her supervisor and got Curtis on the line. Curtis assured taht it was fine to send an internet banking statement and proof of payment. Come on DSTV jeepers just when I think all is good again and going great and that i am getting help....BANG it all goes South. What on earth is so difficult for a compnay like yourselves to fix a problem. Reading and seeing all the complaints on hellopeter makes me wonder how on earth this company is still operational. Get your act together man and start running a proper effective business. Just refund me my subscription I am sick of wasting my time and money to get help.

It is now 21 July 2020. And still not a word from DSTV. I still do not have my refund. It's as though DSTV is really not interested in taking note of any complaints nor learning from any complaints. What is even the next step to take here. I am at a loss for words
