MTN IS USELESS!!

MTN is nothing but useless. On the 20th of April 2020 I received a statement showing that I have not paid in 3 months. I got the proof of payments from my bank and attached it to the statement and mailed it to ***. I heard nothing. On the 22 of April 2020 my services was suspended due to "not paying". I could not get hold of a service consultant on 135 and I was without service on all 3 my numbers for 1.5 days. The next early afternoon I got hold of a service consultant eventually. She reconnected my service and said to e-mail proof of payments and that she will sms me her direct e-mail address (till this day I haven't received it). I eventually received a reply one and a half week later saying that they moved to a new system and accounts will be corrected. This past Tuesday the 5th of May 2020 I went to MTN to upgrade one of my numbers. After being there for almost 3 hours I was informed that there is an issue and they logged a query. I went home empty handed. Wednesday I was phoned by the consultant at MTN Alberton to say that it shows that my account is in arrears by almost R5000+, the same amount that I was quering. I sent through my proof of payments again to the consultant and she logged a query. Thursday I phoned to find out what is taking so long and she informed me that the query has not been resolved yet. Today is Friday the 08th of May 2020 and I still don't have any joy. I looked on my mtn app to see my bill and the outstanding shows over R5000+, the 60 days in R2200 and the 30 days in R6000+?? First of all if my maths is correct this does not add up. Secondly what the hec is the R6000+ in 30 days if I have a usage limit?? Also I still have not had any joy on the upgrade!! I understand it is lockdown but people are "working" from home. If they are "working" why is nothing being done???

So again! Still struggling with this. Got a reply on my initial mail today saying that all of a sudden I owe from 2018 which is bulls*it. I have been paying one month in arrears all the time. I have been paying from statement so do you tell me that MTN's statements have been wrong! Really!!! Now MTN request proof of payments from 2018, are they joking! I have mailed it to MTN last week from March 2020 till date which the operator told me was the only outstanding payments on the system. Ref: 1-***. Saying I now owe more than R8k. I cannot believe service has gone to **** in this Country. I have been with MTN for many many years. E-mail reference ***. MTN does not even reply to my reviews! Just shows you. Nothing works anymore. Catch a wake up!

Today is the 6th of September 2020 and guess what?? I am still struggling with this same issue. Numerous e-mails, numerous phone calls, escalations ...... and still no joy! I cannot upgrade my phone and it is affecting my credit score! Why is there no one even responding to these messages? I heard from the call centre operator that I am one of many that is experiencing this very same problem. How can I get this resolved? How many more proof of payments do I need to send before somebody catch a wake up call??? I understand that lockdown was an issue, but again switching systems and they were'nt ready? Now affecting us all. WHO CAN HELP WITH THIS ISSUEEEEEEE???
