Unsactioned charges

<p>I bought a PVR decoder to replace my old Compaq decoder that eas giving problems 03 October 2016. We struggled the whole week with the call centre to try and get the PVR to work. In the end I had to go to the a local dealer who also couldnt help me. eventually I went to the Century City walk in and my smart card was replaced. We told the agents on the phone that we did not want the PVR service activated. Now my account has been suspended for arrears because there was PVR services charged that I did not want. We are also not longer recieving account statements through the post to alert me. since I have the PVR I am no longer able to to view my upcoming programes, I had called the call centre for this and was told that I would have to get a technician(at my cost) to upgrade my satelite connection. I decided to leave this till i had the funds available. At this time i noticed the arrears notification but it would later clear and assumed that this problem would also go away with i get the technician. this morning i woke to a suspended account. I tried calling the call centre and spoke to mr lord Mokemane who told me that the arrears on my account is due to my PVR service charges. i told him that we told the call centre agents when we got the PVR that we did not want the PVR service and that he could check the calls and he would hear just that. his reply to me that there was no notes on the system to say we dont want PVR. I insisted that the helpline calls be checked because we did not want the PVR service. He then said I didnt pay in Jan or Novemeber to which I told him I pay every month From the ATM. To which he rep**** that this is not my account but my mom's. My mom is elderly and I handle her bank accounts and all other accounts. by this time I realised that this call is going nowhere because the agent is not undestanding my problem. I asked to speak to a manager but was told he( Marvin Williams) was busy on a call and would call me back. Its been more than an hour now. my mom is old and cant walk around much her DSTV is her best friend. she has been calling me every hour since I came to work to find out when her TV will go on again. PLEASE PLEASE HELP</p>

Called Back to the call centre and spoke to such a lovely lady called Makamohelo who was very understading and empathetic to my query. She said she would listen to the recordings and get back to me. She also made a note for my mom to recieved he statement via post again as this is easier for me to keep track of my moms bills. She promised to to get back to me after she has reviewed the tapes

Good day Shamima

We could not get hold of you today and discuss your query telephonically.

According to our records, Makamohelo listened to the call recording. She manually adjusted Mrs Abraham’s account and sent feedback to your personal email address.

We're here for you, please do contact us should you have any queries.

Kind regards

Good Day

Unfortunately I was in a meeting earlier. Thank you so much for sorting my query and a BIG Thank you to Makamohelo. Just by listening to my query and showing understanding and empathy she has renewed my faith in your call centre agents. As for the first agent I dealt with mr lord Mokemane, he could realy learn some customer service from Makamohelo. This query did not have to be reported to Hellopeter if it wasnt for his attitude. Please reward Makamohelo for the manner in which she deals with her clients.

Feeling the magic again
