Late invoicing causing service suspension
Since web Africa moved over to Gridhost I have had nothing but problems. I one had a debit order that bounced and a query was then opened which was resolved about a month later. After agreement I paid Gridhost all outstanding invoices displaying on the system and a additional R119 rand for the next months invoice that was to be created. I emailed to state that I completed the payment as well as the additional R119 for the invoice not yet raised (btw no feedback on that email to acknowledge receipt). By this time my account was 100% clean and had I had a credit of R119 on the account. No open invoices on the client portal
To my shock a few days later I once again started getting emails about invoices not paid and that my account was going to be suspended. I contacted Francois again to ask what is happening and why i am getting these notifications as I paid an additional amount of R119 when I paid all the outstanding invoice Just to be informed that they raised 2 invoices in January because THEY did not raise the December invoice. I told him that that is not proper accounting practices and they cannot expect me to pay. I have asked that manager call me 3 times now with NO LUCK, no one is calling and now they are threatening to suspend me again in 24 hours.
If Gridhost cannot do basic accounting and raising of invoices, why should the consumer have to be responsible for this. NO person can budget this way. I want the late invoice credited asap
Hello Claudia

With regards to late responses, I can assure you that this is our top priority. We have lots of customers with billing queries because of payments that were made late for invoices that has been sent well in advance but nonetheless we take responsibility for it and we will come up with plans to alleviate this which we have already started. This has already shown positive results and eventually we will get to where we want to be. With regards to your request, we can unfortunately not credit your latest invoice. Even if the invoice was issued a later (which will be investigated), the service was still active during that period which makes the charge valid. I will however send the request through to our billing team to escalate accordingly as you asked before so they may address your concerns.
