Worse support and service cut even after payment

My service was cut today! They claimed I owe them money but I did make a payment last week on the 20/05/2025. I sent them a proof of payment, they responded saying that I used a wrong account number but it was their system that inserted my old account number instead of my current account number. All I did was click pay now and selected card payment, it gave me no option to change my account as that is default system function. I have been calling more than 8 times today to resolve this but they always transfer me to finance but they cut the call while I am waiting for finance! Finance just sent me an email ignoring my payment last week. This is inconveniencing me and making me look unprofessional to my remote job. I would advise people to never use MetroFibre, their support is nonexistent and impossible to solve issue quickly! I will be deactivating my service because I am really done! This is my second incident with them in less than a month! Two separate incidents but similar because they all involve finance! I think we can get better service elsewhere!

Almost an hour later still no help, I have sent countless PoP emails to MetroFibre emphasising the urgency of getting this resolved and that I need to work! Still nothing! Just plain ignored!

All your agents keep dropping my calls, the last one who refused to identify themselves with a full name instead called himself Thabo M, just dropped the call after requesting his name and surname! I have been on call since 2pm trying to resolve this! And spent over R150 in airtime that will not be reimbursed! The worse service ever!

So, if I understand well. You guys ******* me to pay a debt that was more than 5 years old, which according to SA law should be prescribed after 3 years. Mind that debt was charged after I have cancelled my service because I was moving abroad! I come back 5 years later and I am ****med to pay a debt that MetroFibre has already sold to a 3rd party but I have to pay it.

It’s fine, I am cancelling MetroFibre. This is the worst network ever! I thought after 5 years you would have improved but I see not!
