Water charges

I was helped by Felesity Roman late at night when our power was almost out and we couldn't recharge due to the water charges. People like her are really appreciated . She was of great help.

Johann from MONTE CARLO WELTEVREDENPARK

Hi. I am very happy with the help I got from Manfred at iSwitch. Manfred sorted my problem out immediately without hesitation. Since installing my prepaid meters iSwitch have always been very professional and helpful. Thankyou.

Good customer service

A consultant named Felisity at Iswitch went out of her way to assist us during their busy time to ensure that our payment was processed in time before they closed.

Service from Ingrid Titus

SERVICE FROM INGRID TITUS! Our first experience with iSwitch, and what a wonderful experience it was! I purchased electricity via EFT and wasn’t sure what to do next, so I called for assistance. I spoke to Ingrid Titus, and she was absolutely fantastic! ❀️ She immediately asked me to send my proof of payment, loaded it quickly, and within just a few minutes, I had electricity! πŸ™Œβš‘ Ingrid was efficient, professional, friendly and went above and beyond to assist me. This is what excellent customer service looks like! Thank you, Ingrid, for making my first experience with iSwitch such a pleasant one. You are truly an asset to the company! πŸ‘β€οΈ Excellent service deserves to be recognised! 🌟

Months of Excessive Water Charges With No Resolution

Extremely Poor Customer Service and No Resolution to My Water Charges Issue I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I have received regarding my ongoing water charges issue. I first explained my problem on WhatsApp on 4 September, yet instead of having one person follow through with my case, every time I respond, I am given a new ticket and seemingly a different person. This makes the process extremely frustrating because I have to keep explaining the same issue over and over again. Why can’t one person take ownership of the complaint and see it through until it is resolved? I have been disputing unusually high water charges for months. I was previously told that the charges were caused by a leaking pipe, which I addressed and had repaired. Despite this, the charges have continued to increase, with the latest charges being as high as R680. What is even more frustrating is that after raising the matter on 4 September, I was told that someone is only available on 23 September to assess the situation. How is that supposed to resolve my water charges for this month? By then, another billing cycle will have passed and I could once again be charged an unreasonable amount without any solution. What exactly needs to happen for this matter to be taken seriously and properly investigated? I cannot continue paying such high water charges every month while being given no proper explanation or resolution. I need someone to take ownership of this complaint, investigate the readings and charges, and provide an actual solution rather than repeatedly telling me that β€œthose are the readings.” This has been going on for months, and to date, there is still no resolution. I am simply asking for the matter to be properly investigated and resolved.

Water Charges

I would like to sincerely thank Felesity Roman for her excellent assistance and professionalism. She helped me resolve an issue with my iSwitch account after I was double-charged for my water bill. She was patient, helpful, and made sure the issue was properly resolved. I really appreciate her excellent customer service and willingness to assist. Thank you, Felesity, for going the extra mile! 🌟
