Expiry of contract

I have had 3 contracts with MTN. When these contracts came to an end I assumed it would be completed. However, these contracts went into a month to month billing cycle, without prior notification.I am aware that I had amounts in arrears payable on these contracts, but being unemployed made it difficult.I was prepared to pay the outstanding amounts, but all of a sudden there were just more costs added to my account.The bill is now standing at R21 000 +- and these are subscription fees taken for month-to-month billing for services not used as my services were suspended and no longer in use.I check my ITC records on a regular basis to ensure all my matters are in order. The MTN account appeared on it as Complete or Paid up. I discovered this morning it is now appearing as outstanding on my ITC record with the above astronomical amount. I want to have this investigated and the correct amounts reflecting which were outstanding due to non-payment and not due to a month-to-month billing item, which was never utilised as the numbers were disconnected. To locate all 3 accounts, refer to ID number below.I would appreciate it if this issue can now be resolved after almost 3 years. Thank you

Hello YolandaJogibhai,

We do apologize for the delayed response and for the inconvenience caused. It was never our intention to have dissatisfied you in any way.

Currently the account has been locked and has a legal status on it due to being handed over to Nortan Lambrianos Attorney's.

We will suggest that you contact our Legal Department directly by dialling *** and request to be transferred through, alternatively you will need to contact the attorney's office directly.

We've perused the account and see that the charges on the account were mostly due to over and above spending on voice calls, data and SMS. The account also went slowly into arrears due to short or no payments received for that particular months.

Regards
Tim
