MTN is the worst with service delivery.

MTN simply does not care about customer care. They don't even know what the meaning of it is.

After I posted about the incorrect Device that was delivered to me on HelloPeter. Only then did I get feedback from a lady by the name of Eunice.

She started off quite hopeful, offering assistance with making arrangements for the phone to be received by the MTN service center in Midrand. Which was done.

Next the contract that was incorrectly loaded on my profile was supposed to be cancelled (I was advised that the contact was 24 months yet it was loaded as 36 months). This was not done, my invoice date was fast approaching when I made contact with her to find out how far there were with the cancellation. I was being told about awaiting feedback from this one and that one.

My account was debited by MTN on 25/08/2018. I currently do not have a new phone as the incorrectly delivered device had since been returned and I've since been waiting for a go ahead to have my contract properly loaded and ofcourse be able to get the device I'd like as per my upgrade. None of this has been done.

Seeing that my account has been debited by MTN, obviously, a refund needs to be processed. I had to be the one to call back once again to bring this to their attention. Eunice gave me an excuse about how she had been away from work as she had a funeral to attend, which honestly has nothing to do with me. Just an excuse that I shouldn't even be hearing. Still, I have had no feedback from the team.

I've been due fir an upgrade over two months ago. My current device is giving me issues. MTN is debiting my bank account for the second month now for an "upgrade" that isn't viable as I am actually paying for a device I DO NOT HAVE!!!!

WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MTN AND THEIR USELESS SERVICE CONSULTANTS???

How difficult can it be to cancel an incorrectly loaded contract??? Let along process a refund????

The worst part is that I have to be the one to call your people to get feedback! They don't even have the professionalism to provide me with feedback! I must keep calling you back because clearly the lot of you don't give a rats ass about customers. Yet you get paid every month. For what??? And exactly why is my bank account being debited??? Because I don't see why.

Can the person who is assigned to my query not make contact with me unless they are ACTUALLY going to solve my issue. In fact, get a senior manager with access to all MTN systems to contact me because at this stage I have demands!

You have wasted enough of my time. And I'm not having it any longer. I am livid!!!!!

My number is ********** . This is the same number linked to my MTN accounts. Get your facts straight before you contact me. Ask Eunice to provide you with additional information which she has sat with and done absolutely NOTHING with for a month!

I am not interested in problems. Give me solutions. Again, I have demands! MTN must feel the pinch the same way that I have. I'm sick of the lot you!

Call me!

Hi. Thank you for your response. I have been out of reach. My handbag was ****** from me yesterday, on my way to work. My phone was inside the bag. This is the reason I have not been available to take calls. The ****** device is my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. This is my old device with which the contract ended. (You're able to check the end-date on your system, i'm not 100% sure about it). It should be July 2018. I am actually quite baffled that you are getting feedback from the Midrand warehouse only now. I personally delivered the incorrectly delivered device. I had this interaction with a Quinton who had me CC'ed in emails that were correspondences of their receipt of the device and awaiting a particular reference number. (I think they said it's an RMA number, i'm not too certain). I have since followed up with Eunice who had amoungst other things excuses about her not being at work and nothing of concrete feedback regarding my issue. The 36 month contract that was loaded was supposed to be CANCELLED. So that I can restart a new application for an upgrade IN STORE. Another issue that I had mentioned to Eunice is the matter of the debit order that would be processed to my account. The agreement here was that a REFUND would need to be processed. WHY is it that ALLL of this, has taken OVER SIX WEEKS to be completed??????? You are not taking me seriously as a hard working customer. It is ridiculous that a CANCELLATION AND REFUND can take close to two months. MTN service is pathetic to say the least! The only thing that is successfully being processed are the Debit Orders in my bank account. At this point, I want nothing to do with MTN. Your consultants ******* me into thinking that my contract is over a period of 24 months. Her biggest selling point was "This is actually way less than what you're currently paying". Seeing that you're explaining the "Action plan" to adjust the 36 month contract to 24 months. That obviously means that I will now have to pay a higher amount. Well MTN. I refuse to do that. Exactly how much is this "promo fee" you're referring to? According to the initial agreement, my memory doesn't serve me correctly, however, the initial debit order amount was around five hundred odd rands. I was advised that initiation fees and what-nots would be added to the first debit order. Which was well understood and agreed upon. You have access to the loaded contract, correct or not, the month to month payments is stated there. This is the amount which i will continue to pay for my upgrade. Five hundred odd rands. Confirm the correct amount. Pull all the calls. What ever needs to be done! On 25-08-2018 my account was debited R682.58. Which is the amount that includes the extra admin costs for the upgrade. Understandably so. To my surprise, the exact amount was debited from my bank account on 25-09-2018!!!!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON??????? The amount for the following month is supposed to be the month-to-month agreed amount without activation and admin fees. Mind you, I still DO NOT HAVE a mobile device for this "Upgrade". MTN is literally taking money from my account just for the fun of it! My hard earned money!!!!!! My frustration has increased drastically at this point because I absolutely do not have a phone at all right at this moment. My insurance claim has been sent through at the MTN store at Mall of Africa. This will obviously take another week or so. I wouldn't put it past MTN to take even longer than that. I cannot accept any further delays from MTN at this point. You do not waste time debiting my account. Please hurry the heck up with fixing your mess! I've done a sim-swap, literally using a "tamagochi" at this point. Give me call tomorrow with solutions. I'm also available via email at ********** Disgruntled Julia

I don't understand why there is an investigation. Where is Eunice? She can vouch for the receipt of the device. I returned the device at the MTN Repair Centre in Midrand, Allandale Road. (201 Richards Dr, Halfway House, Midrand, 1685). The device was handed over to a Quinton. I'm setting my phone up, I'll have access to my emails. Screenshots to follow on the emails i was Cc'ed in. I'm actually quite annoyed right now because firstly, why has it taken over two months for MTN to confirm receipt of this device? Secondly, I do not appreciate the underlying insinuation that I didn't actually return the device and that I'm just spinning yall a story! You all really know how to work on a person's nerves! It baffles my mind that it has taken you, Alice an entire 9 days to respond to my query! After i have told you that i'm available on my number. During this time, I submitted a claim for my ****** phone and received my replacement device. And all you have to say to me after sooooo long is that you're investigating???? I've ran out patience with you all. Yall are taking me for a ride and not here for it!!! Can someone there take me blady seriously????

I have logged an official complaint with the Consumer Goods & Service Ombud. My reference number there is CGSO08161. At this point, I'd most likely prefer to speak to Rob Shuter himself. No one at MTN seems to understand the value of its customers. He's the only one that should understand me as a customer, quite honestly.

I have all the evidence to prove that YOUR staff is *********** and I should NOT be taking he fall for it. Sort out your home-affairs and leave me out of it! I would like my upgrade device ASAP!!!!!!!
