Fnb Connect overcharge us
<p>I received a FNB connect contract sim with my smartphone purchase. This is an open line contract. I always checked my balance on my internet banking, and when i saw an oustanding amount, i used to pay this. To my surprise FNB tried to debit an amount of R300 and something on 1Jun17. I did not understand this. I called them, and they are telling me about out of data bundles. I asked them to send me the invoices. This is what i noticed on these invoices, even though i use my own money to top up, they still charge me. So now I'm being double charged!! </p> <p>First invoice (1-30 April 2017)</p> <p>2GB data R95 (Yes I have to be charged)</p> <p>50 sms bundle R20 (Yes I have to be charged)</p> <p>300MB bundle R60 (Purchased from my cheque acc on 25Apr - why must I be charged again)</p> <p>Out of Bundle R394.05 (Yes I must be charged, but have a sim limit of R200, so it still doesnt make sense)</p> <p>TOTAL I NEED TO BE CHARGED: R509.05 BUT</p> <p>TOTAL ON INVOICE R569.05 (The R60 that i paid for a bundle from my cheque account is extra)</p> <p>I TRANSFERRED R500 ON 2MAY17. BALANCE REMAINING R9.05</p> <p> </p> <p>Second Invoice (1-31 May 2017):</p> <p>1GB data bundle R139 (Paid from my ebucks on 10May17 - why must i be charged again?)</p> <p>Out of bundle R44.28 (Yes I must be charged)</p> <p>300MB bundle R60(Paid from my ebucks on 15May17 - why must i be charged again?)</p> <p>100MB bundle R84 (x3 of them paid from my ebucks on 13May, 19May and 22May - why must i be charged again?)</p> <p>Sms R10.50 (Yes i must be charged)</p> <p>500MB bundle R89 (Paid from my cheque account on 24May17 - why must i be charged again?)</p> <p>2GB bundle (Yes i must be charged)</p> <p>TOTAL I NEED TO BE CHARGED: R149.78 BUT</p> <p>TOTAL ON INVOICE R521.78 (The R372 that i paid for bundles from my cheque account and ebucks are extra)</p> <p>I TRANSFERRED R158.84 ON 25MAY17. R149.78+R9.05 = R158.83, WHICH IS WHAT I'VE PAID.</p> <p> </p> <p>NOW FNB TRIED TO DEBIT MORE THAN R300 FROM MY ACCOUNT ON 1JUN17. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY DID THAT, AS NO ONE AT THE CALL CENTRE CAN TELL ME WHY. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE FOR THE R100 UNPAID DEBIT ORDER FEE. AS ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS, THEY ARE OVERCHARGING ME AND I MUST JUST KEEP ON PAYING. </p> <p> </p> <p>IF I KNEW THIS WOULD BE SUCH A MESS, I WOULD NEVER HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CONTRACT.</p> <p> </p> <p>I NEED THIS SORTED OUT WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND I NEED MY REFUND FOR THE UNPAID DEBIT ORDER. I ALSO DO NOT WANT FNB CONNECT TO DEBIT MY ACCOUNT, AS I MAKE SURE I TRANSFER THE MONEY WHEN I SEE AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE.</p> <p> </p> <p>THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AND I WILL GO TO THE HIGHEST AUTHORATIES IF I HAVE TO, INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA. </p> <p> </p>

Fnb tried calling me yesterday, only twice, I was unable to answer due to being in a meeting. They send a sms saying they will call again today. It's almost 17:00 now, and they still didn't call me. They obviously not serious about helping their clients. They are quick to give you an account, credit etc. but there is absolutely no after service. I'm seriously considering changing my bank account and everything I have with them to a bank who excels in client service.
