Price lock billing mess
<p>We signed up for the price lock option and recently received a call advising us that the contract has expired and that we will now pay the normal dstv amount of R909. Which we advised is fine, however now the debit order went off for R1401.90. We then phoned DSTV to find out what the issue is. The agent was very helpful and explained to us that dstv has a billing issue and our contract actually expired on the 14/01/2017 and they have everybody’s name on a list to give them a call but due to the numbers it takes very long. They therefore only got to us 6 months later and we have to pay the difference for the last 6 months. He advised that the refund will be paid to us but it first has to be sent for approval which takes 7 to 14 business days.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now I have to be out of pocket for DSTVs billing issues. If this amount is not refunded before close of business today or I will cancel my dstv.</p> <p> </p> <p>else i will reverse the debit order and you can deduct the correct amount within 7 to 14 working days</p> <p> </p> <p>I am also going to social media</p> <p>Please beware of signing up on the dstv price lock plan.</p> <p> </p>

We have checked the account and confirm that the unpaid debit order now shows in your DStv account.
For this reason, the account reflects an overdue balance of R635.00 and the Price Lock account reflects a credit balance of R338.71. The same credit has been transferred to your residential account. You will be required to pay R296.29 today and keep the service active till 27 July 2017.
Our records confirm that the application date for your Price Lock account was on 14 January 2015 and the approval date was on 13 July 2015. The great news is that this account is now cancelled.
Regarding the debit order, kindly confirm and send the debit order details for future deductions to ***.

also if this gets indicated on my credit profile as a late payment, i will have to take legal action.
So provide me with a signed letter explaining that you have messed up and that it will not reflect on my credit report as a late payment
