this is a minus 5 star review

It's been well over a month now and I still have to receive an update on an error that is clearly DSTV's fault.

I made a payment which DSTV were not able to allocate and then after experiencing the worst customers service for over a month and being ignored now after providing all the required documents to prove that DSTV owes me a refund is quite something. That and being way overcharged due to DSTV disconnecting (and charging a reconnection fee)our services everyday when I had to call in to get it re-connected.

Upon review of other reviews it appears that so many other customers are experiencing the same issue. -DSTV not able to allocate a payment (in 2024 lol) -Extremely unprofessional , *********** and rude customer service agents. -They now resort to not even attempting resolve a customer query , blatantly ignoring a customer or putting them on hold until they give up. -It's just plain thievery at this point. -How many customers have you lost due to the issues highlighted above? - A failure on whatsapp chat, email, calls , hello peter reviews and a woeful or non existent finance team. -If any publication had to do an article on the October / September reviews DSTV as a brand would take a major hit. -You know your company is done for as soon an alternative sports broadcaster is allowed to enter the South African market.

The only reply I will receive on this is the auto-reply , this is something that Hello peter should not allow.

Reviewer Update
The latest feedback is that the same finance department that could not allocate a payment for over a month has now declined to pay the refund as I now have to provide a stamped bank statement regardless of the all the documentation that has already been provided ( POD from my own bank account, POD from Easypay and the letter that your team has requested)

The agent on the thread is clearly also not reviewing the prior replies / documents provided, even replies that they have made themselves.

I'm beyond words to describe how disgustingly awful this process has been but alas the clown show continues.
