MTN is Turning a Bling Eye on Account *****

On 03/09/2015 I reported to the MTN call centre a ********** upgrade on my cell phone account. I followed up with their store at Standard Bank Simmonds Street on 07/09/2015, received no feedback for a week and again only 07/09/2015 and was told that the matter was not recorded as ***** because I did not submit CERTIFIED COPY of my ID. They did not tell that on the first instance when I submitted the documents.. I then went to the Morningside customer service centre on 25/09/2015 which is closer to the police station where I certified my ID and was told that I had to complete another affidavit as I was dealing with a different branch (of MTN). I insisted that they contact there store at Simmonds Street for a copy of my affidavit. After much deliberation the manager intervened, obtained the affidavit and logged the incident as *****. He gave me a reference number. Two weeks passed without a call and I followed up with the MTN store in Standard Bank as it is closer to my place of work and was told the matter was closed because the **********ly delivery of the handset was intercepted (by me). No further explanition or apology given. These and other details suggest a cover up.

Hello Zebra67,

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused and for the breakdown in service experienced.

We've now perused the account and see that the request that was logged on your behalf was indeed closed by our ***** Department as non-********** due to the device being returned.

We've now requested one of the Supervisors within our Corporate Support team to cancel the upgrade, reverse the termination date on your account and we will then be able to credit your account for the upgrade fee that was charged.

Once again we do apologize for the inconvenience caused and we will touch base with you as soon as we get feedback on the cancellation done.

Regards
Tim
MTN Complaints Management Team: REQ:***
