Unable to cancel my late father's DSTV subscription
Judging by similar posts on Hellopeter, it seems this is the only way to attract DSTV's attention to grieving families' need to cancel their dead loved one's subscription. The chatbot offers no assistance in this regard and the whole process is opaque. This leaves a very bad taste to a non-subscriber and I think I should spare my family similar troubles by steering clear of DSTV's service.

01 Feb 2023, 15:15Thanks for making the attempt. As I was not able to take the call at the time, a message would have been appreciated to enable me to speak to someone at Multichoice and have the issue resolved. None was left. I will attempt the email route you proposed and, if that does not work, turn to Hellopeter again, which appears to be a more effective service channel than DSTV's internal one.

02 Feb 2023, 14:46This morning, DSTV dialled nine times in quick succession, without leaving a single message to enable me to call back a human. During work hours, I mostly attend meetings, which I cannot merely leave to deal with private matters. I have unsuccessfully attempted to address the matter through the Whatsapp service that was quoted in the response to my email to ***, but it proved as useless as the chatbot. It would appear DSTV think they can lock people in by making it virtually impossible to cancel. Why can I not email a death certificate to them and have the service cancelled?
