Poor Service

<p>After years of having DSTV and getting invoices / statements via email every month I got tired of the service and let it lapse.</p> <p>The last statement I received on 31 January showed I owed 0.00 so I thought the matter was closed. Havent received and invoices or statements since.</p> <p>Get a sms from a debt collection company today saying I have been handed over for non payment.</p> <p>After years of emailing me statements why did they suddenly stop if I still had a balance owing?</p> <p>I am pretty sure I wasnt watching DSTV for the first 2 weeks of April when the last statement was for January!</p> <p>Poor accounting and service!</p>

I dont have a problem with the amount. What is sad is that Multichoice made no effort to send an invoice or statement for that amount, instead I was simply handed over to a debt collector.
