********** activity from Mondo Rewardsco and MTN

I have an MTN account, with comprises of two cellphone contracts.

In February I noted that an additional cellphone contract was added to my account with number ***. After a number of phone calls I discovered it was added by Rewardsco.

My first reaction was to report ***** to the MTN ***** department by submitting a police affidavit and copy of my ID. The MTN ***** department rep**** indicating this is not ***** which I could not believe as I have not requested or asked or signed for any other additional cell phone contract, nor have I received any new handset or the sim card with number in question.

My first call to Rewardsco in order to cancel the contract for *** was on the 19th of February 2020 with reference number 44911. Rewardsco confirmed telephonically that the handset was not delivered and it was returned to their warehouse.

Until today 19th of August 2020 this contract has not been cancelled after numerous calls to Rewardsco and MTN customer care. I have been charged for this additional ********** cell phone contract since February 2020 at R1108.45 per month which I refuse to pay.

I have however continued to pay my normal cell phone contracts monthly which amounts to R1808 per month.

Due to not paying for this additional contract MTN has now gone and suspended all my sim cards which I use as stated in the previous paragraph as this has affected my MTN account and the account is in arrears.

I have contacted ICASA as well and waiting on feedback.

I really hope this can be sorted out soonest. Note a handset and new simcard for the contract including the benefits was never delivered to me, I have never activated the simcard; but I'm being charged for it since Feb 2020.

Good Day

I have spoken to MTN credit management team today and they have advised that the contract *** (zero seven eight eight seven nine four seven zero five) has not been cancelled and no credit has been passed to MTN. My account remains in arrears and overdue.

This has now also affected my transunion credit report as advised today by my private banker.

Brief description of your complaint
I have an MTN account, with comprises of two cellphone contracts, *** and ***. During January 2020 I upgraded the *** contract as it was due after two years to a Samsung Note 10+. In February I noted that an additional cellphone contract was added to my account with number (ZERO SEVEN EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN NINE FOUR SEVEN ZERO FIVE) ***. After a number of phone calls I discovered it was added by Rewardsco. My first reaction was to report ***** to the MTN ***** department by submitting a police affidavit and copy of my ID. The MTN ***** department rep**** indicating this is not ***** which I could not believe as I have not requested or asked or signed for any other additional cell phone contract, nor have I received any new handset or the sim card with number in question. My first call to Rewardsco in order to cancel the contract for *** (ZERO SEVEN EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN NINE FOUR SEVEN ZERO FIVE) was on the 19th of February 2020 with reference number 44911. Rewardsco confirmed telephonically that the handset was not delivered and it was returned to their warehouse. Until today 14th of August 2020 this contract has not been cancelled after numerous calls to Rewardsco and MTN customer care. I have been charged for this additional ********** cell phone contract since February 2020 at R1108.45 per month which I refuse to pay. I have however continued to pay my normal cell phone contracts for *** & *** monthly which amounts to R1808 per month. Due to not paying for this additional contract MTN has now gone and suspended all my sim cards which I use as stated in the previous paragraph as this has affected my MTN account and the account is in arrears. This also has a negative effect on my credit record.

Resolution sought
The cancellation and deletion of the cellphone contract *** and the refund/CREDIT of all money allocated to my MTN account arising from this contract.
