Poor service

<p>I previously had two DSTV accounts. During December 2015, I requested DSTV to switch of one of the accounts in order to only have one active account. Since April 2016 my DSTV service has been switched of 4 times. According to them I "I have only been paying for one account since January 2016 and not for both accounts" - COME ON, I PHONED THEM LAST YEAR TO SORT THIS OUT. So since April, they have been switching it off, after which I phoned them, 15 minute phone call to explain everything, reconnected my services, escallated query to the accounts department and after a week, they switched off my dstv, same story 4 weeks in a row. I am at that point where I phoned them to cancel all my services as I am no longer interested in having DSTV. This morning, I received an sms stating the following: "You have been handed over to ITC-BA by Multichoice Support Services balance R826.84." THERE IS NO WAY I AM GOING TO PAY FOR A SERVICE I DELIBERITELY PHONED TO HAVE SWITCHED OFF. MULTICHOICE, it's time you listen when the customer phones you 4 times in a row with the same issue and sort it out on your side. I have been a customer for 7 years and due to your accounts department not listening, I AM DONE!</p>

Thank you for your response. Please note that I have not recorded the name of the agent, date or time of call. However, every time I have phoned to have my service reconnected this past month, the agent acknowledged that he could see the package was cancelled in December. I paid my account every month on time for the past 7 years. I am not willing to pay for a service I disconnected and did not use.

Dear Mrs Pietersen,

Thank you for taking your time to contact us.

We have conducted an investigation and can confirm that a schedule for the disconnection of service was requested on 15 December 2015. For this reason, we have manually adjusted your DStv account. There’s no outstanding balance due for payment.

We appreciate your time and patience whilst we resolved your query.

Should you wish to reconnect your DStv service, please don’t hesitate to inform us.

Kind regards

Dinah
