MTN commits *****

Dear Sir/Madam,<br> <br> On 17 February 2016 I submitted a complaint about MTN overbilling me for data that I did not use. They rectified the problem and stated that upon investigation it was found that I still had data left on my contract and that the bill was send in error. I stated in my previous complaint that I destroyed the sim card and I did! And then I received my bill for March 2016 and I was charged with R43-82 for switched packet data calls!!!!! It is virtually impossible as the sim card has been destroyed!!! This amounts to blatant ***** and I am going to seek advice on the possibility of terminating my data contract before it actually expires. I know it is not a large amount of money, but that's not the point... I don't want to pay for this contract anymore as MTN is still billing me and the sim card doesn't exist anymore. What they are doing is *******!!!!!<br> <br> I am also going to report this to the ombudsman as well as any forum I possible can. I want out of this contract as soon as possible.<br> <br> Regards<br> Engela Grobler

Kindly be advised that the billing for the data charges is due to late updates on the network.
