Poor customer care and abuse of debit orders

On Friday 30th august, I went to MULTICHOICE walk-in centre in Randburg to apply for a R29.00 ( easy view) subscription which includes xtra view plus insurance for two explorer decoders , the total amounted to +/- R240 / month lord and behold today a debit order of R1259.30 gets deducted from account. The channel is blocked on both tv sets. No explanation given

I believe you added a life cover to my decoder insurances, never authorized a life cover insurance. I only insured the two decoders .

I was phoned by Elizabeth Mashiloane on the 27 September 2024 informing me that my dispute was resolved and all the insurance arrears were reversed , to have my signal restored I should pay R183.83 which I paid .The service was then restored.On Monday morning the the 30th September my signal was blocked again as usual. On the 3rd September I received the above ☝️ email from Xolani Shabalala from billing section saying I owe R705.93.This is not ok DStv please correct your communication between your billing and insurance section, how possible is it that I owe you when you’re a pay tunnel and for insurance as well how can one owe an insurance premium?

I previously spoke to Sandile on 9/9/ 2024 @ 14h29 , Then Maremane Dikgale on25/9/2024 and finally Elizabeth Mashiloane on 27/09/2024 informing me that the dispute is resolved my signal will be restored after paid R183.83 . Diligently paid and sent the proof of payment to these emails: *** and *** respectively to cushion the inconvenience of being switched off by anyone who resumes their shift because one never deals with one person it’s multiple personnel from various shifts. I tried to call MULTICHOICE customer care Randburg *** , my calls are on call barring why?
