PATHETIC SERVICE AND WAY TOO EXPENSIVE

This company is pathetic! It's way too expensive. On the 8th September I bought prepaid water for R100 online from my FNB bank account, I didn't get the token number as I usually do to punch it in the keypad. When I called in the week I was told it was probably a systems error and I was given a token, on punching it in, it showed error, it just refused to work. I then called again and got another agent who advised that error I was getting means the token had already been used and it could only have been used on my keypad. So I asked, since I didn't use it what's the next step, he advised there's nothing they can do. I requested to speak to the manager and he said the manager is busy and requested my phone number which I gave him for the manager to call me back. 2 weeks later I am still waiting for the manager to call me. My meter number is: ***8

Dear Busisiwe,

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Please take note that we, as IdealPrepaid, take instruction from the landlord, who then determines the rate you will pay per unit.  

When purchasing below R101.00 your token will not process automatically.  This message reflects on our website, to make our customers aware of this.  

We agree, that it is not acceptable that you have not been called back  and would like to rectify that.  

I will ask the Service Manager, Amedeo, to give you a call to clear all of this up with you.

At IdealPrepaid, we strive to excel in Customer Service, however from time to time situations occur that was not handled properly.  We sincerely apologise for that.

Kind Regards 
IdealPrepaid Management
