MTN (How can I make your day...) Helpdesk doesn't! !!

MTN is an absolute joke at their call centre. 31 March I paid my monthly account -EFT R1800. That evening a debit order for R1900 odd went through as well. I contacted the call centre for a refund and was given a "ticket" number for reference. Monday I call again. New ticket number and "closed" on the same day, with no feedback. This carried on for a week with regular follow ups. On the Friday 8th I was told that a refund was issued to my bank. I also needed to buy airtime which didn't work. This was "supposedly" fixed. I received an SMS saying that I cannot make calls and need to DEPOSIT R1800 immediately as my calls have been suspended. I went to my local branch in Ladybrand where I had excellent service but they couldn't rectify either problem. I was also busy with an upgrade and this was refused as I was R1800 in arrears, which is incorrect. No arrears - they owe me R100. So due to THEIR errors I cant make calls, can't upgrade and I he vent been refunded yet. PATHETIC! Their help desk (135) sucks (If you eventually get through) and there is no way that you can speak to a superior person.

Reviewer Update
I have to make one thing very clear. At branch level, in particular Ladybrand Branch, the service was great. The lady who assisted me tried everything to sort these problems out but to no avail. So well done Ladybrand.
Last night I received my refund but I am still awaiting the correction on my "status" to be able to make calls, do my upgrade and purchase airtime. Apparently a "ticket" needs to be closed first - once again non-completion of a ticket/task.
