MTN LACK OF RESPONSE

I renewed my contract in June last year. I signed a new contract with a monthly payment of R99 and a once off extra charge for renewal for the first payment. I have been charges 33% more every month since June and cannot get MTN to correct the amount. I have been into head office 5 times and into the branches twice besides the countless calls I have made. I have taken a copy of the contract to MTN but every time I phone or go in, I get told they need a copy (which they actually have on the system under my cell number). I always get told they will 'ESCALATE THE PROBLEM' and all that happens is they FILE 13 it and never look at it again. I presume the definition of ESCALATION to MTN mean never look at it again as the client will eventually get tired of complaining. I have started taking down the staff members name and have a list of about 6 names. I cannot be the only person with this issue and would like to know from a Contract Lawyer that if MTN have reneged on the contract do I have the right to stop payment and go to another cell company? and how do I go about it then. If I take anymore time off work my Boss will fire me. Please can some one help.

Hello j??????,

Thank you for your post.

We are terribly sorry for the inconveniences that you experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it causes.

On the system it shows that you signed up for MTNChoice 50m @ R70.18 excluding vat. Which comes with a Promo service fee of R42.98 excluding Vat.
When you add the two plus Vat you get R129.01.

Rest assured, it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you.

Regards
Thabelo
