MRP Mobile - company of ******** and *******!

I took a contract with Mr Price Mobile for R135 per month and I received airtime too. I gave the phone for my mother to use, but every time the amount deducted was more then the R135. When I phoned customer service to find out why, there was always a reason, like my mother never hanged up the phone after a phone call, or she used too much data. I paid the account and just prayed for the 2 years to come to an end so I can get rid of them. I phoned them when the contract was almost over and I told them I will not be continuing and they must end the contract after the 24 months was over. That month there was a huge deduction and I took out the sim card. The customer service department told me a stupid story again of my mother running out of airtime and she used data. To my surprise, even more money was deducted from my account even after I took out the sim card! The customer service people could not help me with an explanation and I sent mails with only an acknowledgement of receiving the mail, but never a reply. I warned them I am going to reverse the money back if someone did not contact me and eventually I did reverse the money. It was a desperate attempt to be taken seriously, but nothing happened. I was contacted a year later from a debt collecting agency about an amount of around R600 that MRP Mobile wanted me to pay. I explained to the lady what happened and she phone me back telling me that MRP mobile is willing to give me a discount . I did not have a problem with paying my account, but I felt that MRP Mobile was taking money when they did not provide a service - actually they were *****ing my money! I am still waiting for them to contact me to tell me about the discount amount I am due to pay, but in the meantime another collection agency contacted me now for R800 ! I saw so many bad reviews about MRP Mobile and wish that they can be stopped. MRP Mobile are ******** and only wants money without giving service, why are they allowed to get away with this?

Reviewer Update
Hi, A lady phoned me in connection with my review and I requested the statements for the last two months and I received an e-mail of which I could not open the attachments. I rep**** on the mail that they must resend the attachments in a different format. This happened on the same day as my review and I also received immediately a reply that the attachments will be resend shortly. It is now already 8 days and I am still waiting for the attachments.

I received the statements in a format I can read. However, the statements does not show me the numbers that I supposedly phoned. It only give the amounts. So I still do not know for what exactly I am supposed to pay. This is the ONLY reply I received after I asked questions: "Please note that you do not subscribe to Itemized billing which is R29 monthly and would not be able to provide you with a detailed list of numbers made on your line. Should the in-bundle airtime is depleted than the bill limit on the account becomes activated and any usage incurred is billed over and above the monthly subscription." My poor mother was so scared because of all the costs, she never even used the phone in October and in November 2017 I took out the sim card and cut it up. This was after I got so frustrated when I saw the deduction again that I had to pay so much for something I didn’t even use. I did not make the calls that MRP Mobile wants me to pay. If I do not get an satisfactory reply I will take this matter up with the ombudsman as I do feel that I have now reach a deadlock with MRP Mobile.
