11 months later, still waiting

I have used Mtn contract for over 10 years and I have always enjoyed their service and even defended it against those who said it had the worst customer service. Guess I was just lucky all those years. Anyway, on December 5 2018 I decided to upgrade my phone online, biggest mistake ever. My mistake was, I never realised I had to give a copy of my ID to the delivery company, something I was not very comfortable with, I then sent an email to the online store, no reply was given. At the time I figured I can just go instore and straighten out the whole thing. Little did I know I was just getting onto a never ending roller coaster. I went to Mtn store at Springs mall, the consultant advised me to call the customer care, which I called and was sent from one department to another until I was told to go back to the online store and lay a complaint, which is something I have done already. So I went back to the store and this time the consultant advised me to go the mtn shop in Lakeside, I went there and I must say it was a total waste of my time I cam3 back with nothing, no help, no advise. This time I wrote an email to customer service. Their reply gave me some hope, it sounded as if the matter would be resolved in a matter of days. That was j up till a month later when I was told they are escalating the matter to the channel support contact centre and they will reply soon. And to this day I never received a single word from them. I called customer service again and this time was told I should go to an mtn store in Midrand. 11 months later I'm still paying for a device I don' t have. Now I know from experience that mtn has the worst service ever.

Thank you for your reply.

Please explain to me what it means when you say the account will be credited. Will the amount be refunded back to me in cash or it will go into my contract account to be used towards another device. Please clarify that for me.

Thank you

Thank you for the assistance. I apologise that you have been unable to get hold of me on the phone. I would like for the money to be transferred back into my bank account. Not sure how to go about that.

I'm still waiting for a response on how I should move the money from the mtn account to my bank account. I was advused to call 135 by mtn store and when I called the lady did not even know how to deal witb such a matter, of which she said I should wait 14 days. I don't even understand why I should wait 14 days to get a clear response. So pleaseI need to know what steps to take from here.
