MTN deducts money already paid to them
I phoned MTN retentions department to cancel a data contract. The cancellation fee I was told was R882.16 (comprising one months Subscription R99 and outstanding balance of R783.16). I made payment on 18th March by EFT in order for cancellation to take place. On 31st March MTN deducted again an amount of R783.16 from my bank account. When I contacted rententions I was told that R783.16 was an outstanding amount. I find this hard to believe as the amount is exactly the same as the amount I was quote for the cancellation, which I paid. So up to now MTN has received a total of R1665.32. I believe MTN has made a mistake. Further more when phoning them on *** I have waited a total of an hour before I have received service. I'm very disappointed and will discourage anyone from using this service provider.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused and for the breakdown in service.
We have now perused your account and see that you should have not been debited the amount of R783.16. The debit order was already submitted to the bank before you made the payment on the of R883.00 reflecting on the system as the 19th of March 2015.
We've now requested our Billing Department to credit the amount of R783.16 to the account, once allocated to the account can we request our Banking Department to refund the amount to your banking account. The reference number for the request logged is REQ:***.
