Mondo false adverti*****t

I signed up for a router and capless internet data contract telephonically with Mondo MTN at the beginning of December. The sales person **** about the capabilities of the device, saying that it would work during load shedding as it was battery operated. When the device was delivered I discovered that it did not have a battery as advertised. Due to false advertising I decided to return the router and cancel the contract the day after the router was delivered. The process of cancelling this contract with MTN through Mondo has been an absolute nightmare, and debit orders are still going off after more than 10 working days after cancellation. Furthermore, their customer service is completely unreliable giving inconsistent information. The telephonic sales person also got my contact details wrong and despite contacting Mondo to rectify this, these details are still incorrect. Mondo has cost me a great deal of time and money. I will never again buy any product through Mondo MTN. From my experience, they have acted *********ly and seemed to say anything to me to make a sale whilst simultaneously making it very difficult to cancel a falsely advertised product.

Reviewer Update
Mondo has been processing my MTN cancellation for more than 14 working days, When I called to cancel, within the second day of receiving the falsely advertised device, Mondo said it would not take longer than 14 working days to cancel. Yet the MTN contract is not cancelled and I have now recieved threats from MTN stating that i will get a bad credit record if i do not pay for the device and contract. But I gave back the device to MTN on 14 December and informed Mondo that I was cancelling. Mondo has simply failed to process the cancellation despite false advertising on their part. Mondo has caused me nothing but stress, I will not take any contract through Mondo again. Mondo states that the cancellation is in process but it has been processing since mid December which has serious ramifications for me as a Mondo client.
