Mtn and their ********** Contracts saga! !!!!!!

<p> </p> <p>I read an article regarding ********** contracts that are often opened and went further to read more on this and that this seems a norm as Mtn have numerous cases of ********** contract upgrades.Well the same happened to me,I learnt this when a debit for R 1547.00 went through on the 2 Jan 2017.</p> <p><br />I was weary of the debit and immediately went to MTN store Menlyn Maine where I was told that there had been an upgrade for an IPhone 7 plus which was done at the Lakeside Mall MTN store on the 22 November 2016 .I was told to produce an affidavit and a certified copy of my ID which I did and this time at MTN Store Mall of Africa(as the police station is at close proximity to where I live in Midrand ) . I reversed the payment and paid what was owed for the month,which was R 740.00 as adviced by the consultant. </p> <p><br />It didn't come as a surprise really when I recieved the message below :</p> <p><br />Yello, overdue account warning. Please pay R 818.40 to avoid service suspension. Make payment to ABSA Bank, account no. ********** 150. Kind Regards, MTNSA</p> <p><br />I never signed for an upgrade. Holistically this affects my credit record and that is my main concern. This is incompetence to a high degree because the case was reported to the so called MTN ***** department but it has not been communicated to their Finance Department. </p> <p><br />I am not Pleased at ALL!! </p> <p>Teboho Moletsane </p> <p> </p>
