Pending refund that was made on the wrong customer number

I am sitting with extreme frustration because of the poor service I received from Multichoice and their inability to assist nor escalate my issue to the relevant department. I have a pending issue regarding a refund that is supposed to be processed but no one is getting back to me. I followed all the procedures by sending emails and even contacting the call centre. The last agent I spoke to by the name of Leya could not assist me nor was able to call a supervisor by the name of Sibusiso for me. She was struggling to articulate herself and saying there's nothing she can do to assist and suggested that I go to the DSTV store at a mall. She kept on changing the stories every 2 minutes to show that she does not know what she was talking about. I had to repeat myself multiple times so she can understand my issue whereas the email I sent is in front of her eyes.

I do not understand that a company as big as Multichoice did not have a supervisor readily available to take escalations in peak hours of the day. What gets to me the most is the fact that I must explain to the agents how the payment on their app works. every agent I spoke to far has poor knowledge of the product in question and no one seems to know that the Pay@ service they use on their DSTV app is more like a card payment than an EFT which makes it difficult on my side to pull a proof of payment because my bank does not provide proof of payment for card purchases, only for EFT. I was explaining this process to the deaf ears. I have all the proof in the world to support my statement, but it looks like everyone there is programmed to tell customers that they require a "pdf proof of payment" or else you are not going to get assisted and you should make peace with it.

I urgently need someone to escalate the issue that I have because with today’s technology as a company you should be enabled to trace and verify transactions made to your customers. I am extremely disappointed as a customer because this is a pay service, I do not get it for free.

Thank you DSTV team for prioritizing my case after all the kicking and screaming. I am happy that you were able to assign a proficient and skillful consultant who managed to resolve the issue in a matter of minutes. I did not have explain myself, she already figured out what the issue was and reassured me that the refund will be made to my account. I like the fact that she went an extra mile to try to get immediate response and approval from the superiors. I wish in future we get more people like her who knows what they are doing behind the computer. Kudos to you Tshegofatso and thank you kindly for your assistance!!

Guys, do I always have to come to this platform to get your attention? I am still waiting for my refund to reflect. Your agents told me it will reflect Monday morning. It is now Tuesday midday, I have not received any notification that the money has been deposited. What the hell????
