MTN customer service non-existing

On the 1st of Feb MTN debited my bank account with R2 526.00 while my actual top-up contract is only R309 per month!!! This is a "top-up" account hence the bill should NEVER be over the R309????? So i called the customer care line and they apologized for the mistake and promised to reverse it but every time i call they have another excuse why it has not been done. So this leaves me R2000 short for the month which could for some families mean the difference between eating or not while waiting for them to refund the money!!?? To make matters worse, they claim that they do not have the contract details and will only refund R1900 and some change because thats all they see on their system. This is absolutely unacceptable customer service....very poor MTN!

Well just over 6 months down the line and exactly the same thing happened to my account AGAIN.....this after i called customer service (recorded conversation) to warn them that something went wrong with my account when additional data was loaded at the wrong time of the month.....after various call and reference numbers:
- ***
- ***
-***

speaking to Stimbiso Yende, Thembelihle Makeng to name but a few and getting messages from Cherildene Matthews sent to my sisters cell number.....i'm still waiting for my refund 16 days later....
