MTN billing nonsense

So annoyed with MTN, they double charged my account without communicating with me and now they are refusing to pay me back.

i have a cellphone contract with MTN, i pay the contract via a debit order everything and religiously on the 15th of each month. last month they debitmy account, R543,73 ( that is my contract fee) and later towards the end of the month I received a message from Mtn saying my account is overdue. I then took it upon myself to call MTN and quiry this, when i asked them , they said i shoud check my statement the money that was debited was reversed back to my account.. why it was reversed back i dont know, so I agreed that i will have to make a cash payment. Which i did pay on the 06th of July and at that time i was told to pay R555,23 ( including charges), this was for the June debit order that was reversed. Now on the 15th MTN double charged me R1098,96 instead of R543,73 for the 15th of July. My contract with MTN does not say i have to pay 1098,96 and again MTN did not inform me about such. i spoke to this lady Anna Xhivambo Ref: ********** 79, who was adamant that MTN cant reimburse my money, when i asked to speak to hee Manager she said all her managers are in a meeting.

I want my money reimbursed back ASAP.

Thanks for your response, I decided to reverse the debit order with my bank. Since you took time to address this matter, and i need to use the money you have debited urgently. Going forward i will pay you via cash deposit not debit order. I will call you to make such arrangements.
