Frustrated Client - account N***

<p>Can`t quite remember the month but I believe in February 2015 my contract (N ********** ) expired with MTN and I cancelled the contract and my number was succesfully migrated to prepaid. This was a business contract which was paid by my company and I paid whatever difference from my pocket. To cut the long story short as far as I remember I was advised when I cancelled the contract that there were no amounts outstanding. Now 18 months later I am find out there is R356.00 outstanding . i have never received a call, sms, email nor post for 18 months advising of any outstanding amounts but there is all of a sudden an amount outstanding. I subscribe to both transunion and experian and since February 2015 to April 2016 this account had been showing as paid up but suddenly this month the record says I am over 150 days overdue and knocked my credit score from 968 (excellent) to 580 (poor). My wife an I are in the process of having a buliding loan registered and could lose the funding after paying almost R200 000.00 if Standard Bank processes another credit check. I don`t care what the R356.00 is for I will pay it just give me bank details but I need your legal department to remove this info from my credit as it is prejudicial. I can share the June credit report and the August one to prove that this record suddenly appeared. I called your so called legal department without luck since Friday 26/08/2016. I was eventually assisted by someone from accounts who said I would be contacted by legal today but still nothing. Your service is horrible, hence i cancelled my contract and went to Vodacom. Please sort this out. </p>

It has been 4 days since the automic reply from MTN and no person from MTN has contacted me nor have they assisted me. in anyway. This is not suprising and nothing new from MTN.
