Bad Service

I took my phone to MTN shop Bedford on the 17th of July for repairs and the was no feedback until I went back to the shop 08/09/2015 to find out .<br> I was told to contact Service centre and spoke to Nosipho she advice SMS was sent to me with the quote but to my surprise the contact number they have was incorrect .<br> Her explanation was they pick up that the phone went for unauthorized repairs previously and I need to pay R300 + to release the phone .<br> Nokia 520 ,IME NO:***<br> I'm surprised because this a contract phone under warrantee and it was never taken to anyone for repairs ,it means I was given a phone that was tempered with.<br> My take is I need my phoned back fixed ,period !!!! <br> Failing to do so I will be forced to take the matter to consumer Affairs . <br>
