MONDO STAFF MISLEADS CUSTOMERS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH FALSE INFORMATION IN ORDER TO SECURE A SALE!!!!!

I have been having a contract with MTN since January 2022, paying R345.00 per month, which I had no problem with.

On 20 October 2022 I received a call from Liam Chetty of Mondo who provided me with false information in order to secure a sale. He offered me a MTN Home uncapped contract for R399.00. I told him that I currently have a data contract with MTN, and he said that the contract I currently have would be cancelled and no cancellation fee would be charged because I am cancelling an old package to take a new one. As a result of the information provided by Sachin, I proceeded to sign up for the new contract.

The following month I received a statement from MTN reflecting an amount of about R900. I then called Mondo to enquire about the statement because I was informed that the old package would be cancelled. I spoke to a lady by the name Zainab who assisted me in logging an investigation. On 17 November 2022 I called Mondo to follow up on the investigation. I spoke to a Sachil Dipial who confirmed that it was found that Liam had indeed misled me and provided me with false information in order to secure a sale.

I told Sachil that I wanted to cancel the contract, and he asked me not to cancel and said that because they were at fault, they would offer me both contracts at R512.00 per month. I accepted the offer over the phone and asked him to confirm in writing that I would be paying the said amount going forward. He told me that their migration department would call me then confirm everything in writing.

On 1 December 2022, I called to follow up on the call I was supposed to receive from their migration department. I spoke to a lady by the name Ntombi who confirmed that she spoke to her supervisor and that a consultant would call me. I called again on 28 December 2022 as I had since been waiting for their call and I had received a statement again where I am being charged for both contracts (This time around it was R780.77). I spoke to an Alicia Goalab who informed me that their migration department would not call me because there is no way that I could migrate as it is a home router contract and that there is no way I could pay R512.00 for both contracts as offered previously after the investigation. She said that I should cancel the contract and that the router would be collected, and that there would be no cancellation fee. She further confirmed that I would be reimbursed for the monies I have paid thus far. I am so tired of the different stories I hear every time I call and always paying monies I did not budget for. I therefore decided that I will be proceeding with the cancellation. I attempted calling Mondo to make arrangements for the router to be collected but I have not been able to get through to them.

The staff at Mondo is ***********, and very deceptive. They mislead customers by providing them with false information. This is *****!!! It has been almost 2 months now since I have been trying to sort this out and no one is taking accountability for all the nonsense they have been putting me through. I AM TIRED of this company and its *********** staff. They must come and collect their router and give me back every cent I have paid as a result of their deception to secure a sale!!!!!!

Good day

Why am I receiving a statement from MTN that I have to pay a cancellation fee of R2374,22 when Mondo was supposed to be the one liable for the cancellation fee? Mondo gave an understanding that they would collect their router and upon receipt of the router the contract would be cancelled at no cancellation fee as it was found in the investigation that Mondo’s sales person indeed misled me by providing me with false information in order to secure a sale, so why am I is an invoice with a cancellation fee all of a suddenly directed to me?

Please note that should MTN deduct that amount from account, Mondo will be hearing from attorneys because I am now tired of the back and forth.

Good day,

I confirm that I received your correspondence via sms. I would however, like to know as to whether I will be reimbursed for the costs that I am busy incurring from my bank? With each and every passing day, I am being charged by my bank because when MTN debited the money, there wasn’t enough funds in my account. The funds that were in my account were enough for what I am paying on a monthly basis and not for the cancellation fee which I wasn’t liable for.

Kindly advise as to what will happen with the costs that I am busy incurring?

My money has still not been credited into my bank account. My bank account is still overdrawn due to the debit order that went off of a substantial amount of money that was not available in my account, and with each passing day, my bank is charging me. Whose going to pay for those costs? I have been patient with Mondo for far too long now. I will be taking further action, and bring a damages claim against Mondo for all the costs that I am incurring.

My question is still not answered… I asked if I am going to be reimbursed for the costs that I am incurring everyday? MTN still has not refunded me. My bank account is overdrawn and with each passing day, I am incurring costs as my bank is charging me, so whose going to cover those costs?
I am giving Mondo till Tuesday morning to sort this out with MTN, failing which, I will be bringing a damages claim against Mondo for all the unnecessary costs that I have incurred. I have been patient with Mondo for far too long!!!
Expect a letter of demand from my attorneys if this is not sorted by Tuesday morning!!
