Request for payment reversal

I had my DStv disconnected over a year ago and because of the 21 day lockdown I opted to reactivate my service. I spoke to Sandisiwe who advised that I needed to pay R839 to have my service reconnected, which I did, only to find out that I needed to get a technician to come out to come and check the dish and tune the frequency, which I could not do as we were going into lock down the following day. I advised Sandisiwe of this and advised her to disconnect the service and I would contact my bank to reverse the payment. Before I left my home to go to the bank I called multichoice again and spoke to Logan at your PE call Centre. She advised that she couldn’t disconnect service as the system does not make allowance for it. She logged a case ***5-I126. Now bearing in mind I asked Sandisiwe Within minutes of making my payment to disconnect service as it was not working and I could not call out a technician due to the approaching lockdown. My bank just called and advised that Multichoice does not want to reverse the payment. Please can you Reverse the payment from your side because of aforementioned reason. I am not making use of your service. Please deactivate the service immediately. I look forward to your reply.

Hi Nikki, 

Kindly note that account disconnections and downgrades can only be done on the customer's payment date. We, unfortunately, we cannot disconnect the service since it's not yet your payment date however, we can schedule a disconnection. 

Your next payment date will be on the 25th of April.

Regards
Kagiso

Dear Kagiso,

If you checked my account - my account has been dormant (deactivated) for over a year. I only tried to activate my account for the lockdown period that the country was going into. I made payment while on the call, and while on the call, your consultant advised that I will have to get a technician out, and being the day before lock-down, I was unable to do so. I advised her on the call to deactivate the service as I did not have access to the DSTV signal, which I still don't have. I requested for my payment to be reversed, or at best I will pay a prorated amount and would appreciate a refund for the rest of my payment I made. The reason for this is that I am not able to view DSTV. The screen says something about finding a network foot print. I feel that it is highly immoral that you are charging me for something that I am unable to use. Please can we discuss this and come to an amicable solution. Thanks. Nicholette Smith
