Cancelled Contract and Debit order still remains

We (myself and my husband)had a joint cell phone account with MTN and we have decided to cancel the contracts as our cell phones were in good conditions and did not need an upgrade.<br> <br> We called them in advance, wanting to know when we needed to cancel. Which we then did on the specific day they provided.<br> <br> Thinking that our contracts were now cancelled and the debit order should then have been stopped.<br> <br> To my misery this was not the case..<br> <br> Then we contacted them once again and the consultant (I found to be very unhelpful and extremely arrogant) apparently they cannot retrieve calls without a reference number, which I feel is extremely unacceptable..<br> <br> They are my service providers and I would think that if they entered my acc number or reference number into their system that they would be able to retrieve all relevant information they need...<br> <br> We then asked for a manager and apparently they were ALL BUSY, AND!!! Would give us a call back, which still has not happened!<br> <br> It is the second month now that the debit order has been deducted and there is nothing I can do about it as the bank cannot stop the debit order as MTN needs to do this!

Hello Mushfeqah,

Thank you for your post.

We are terribly sorry for the inconveniences that you experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it causes.

Please be advised that the query for was logged REQ:*** for late cancellations, credit has been passed and is not reflecting on your account as yet. I have escalated the query to the billing dept to advise on when will the credit reflect
