Holding back my invoice to generate revenue on AD HOC ITEMISED PRINTING

<p>I have an MTN 200 TOP - UP contract with MTN and I am so sick and tired of MTN charging me extra for services that are supposed to be included in my contract. For the past 4-5 months I have not been getting my monthly invoice via email or otherwise. So I have to call/ email the MTN call center every time. The person/s at the call center are genrally very apologetic and blames their system for being off-line. This is a typical answer from the call center"I apologise Sir but we cannot check for you because our system is off-line" but we will forward the invoice as soon as we are back online. Please also note Sir that you will receive feedback within 3 - 48 hours"</p> <p>Then after a few days I get an email to verify that I am who I say I am before I can get the invoice. So I email my full details including my MTN pin. What a surprise to see that an extra charge R21.50 is added to my account under the heading "AD HOC ITEMISED PRINTING"</p> <p>They are basically charging me for sending me the invoice that they initially failed to send in the first place. I cannot wait for my contract to expire. The staff of MTN is not only ***********, but they are also not educated well enough to think outside of the box, and this includes their suprevisors on duty. The more I try to explain that I did not get the invoice, the more they tell you that the problem will be escalated to their IT department.</p> <p>I want MTN to go into my account and reverse all the "AD HOC ITEMISED PRINTING" charges that was added. I have an email trail of the numerous times that I had to request my monthy invoice. At one point I even created a new email address because they made me believe that there might be a problem with my email address. Even after going to the process of registering my new email address with MTN, I still did not get the monthly invoice. All other correspondence to and from MTN is not a problem.</p> <p> </p>

Good afternoon Thomas

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.

The 21.50 charge is for itemized billing which is separate from the invoice. The invoice is sent monthly for your perusal and to know the monthly installment due. The itemized billing is when the customer needs an elaborate view on what and how they were charged.

A request has been logged for the invoices to be sent from 2016-05-26 to 2016-09-26. The reference number is - Request ***.

We would like to assure you that we are actively working to improve our service levels.

Regards

Lungi
