<p>* Early this year when ********** 00 become due for upgrade, I called to get info on cancelling the line as I’m now struggling to maintain my lines with MTN for the service received. I was advised to call in and place a request 30 days prior to termination.</p> <p>*Around July , to make sure of this, I spoke to a call centre agent gain and the lady I spoke to advised that I in fact need to call and cancel ON the date of termination and not 30 days before. I mentioned to her that, it can’t be right and she confidently insisted that the rules had changed.</p> <p>*On the 17th of August, since I set a reminder, I called again just to make sure and guess what, I had to cancel 30 days prior.</p> <p>* I put in a request, and a very helpful lady also CC'd me from email addressed ********** She advised I would receive a call from retentions within 48 hours. This call never came so I followed up on the 22nd.</p> <p>*Retentions then rep**** and advised that they will convert my line to prepared to which I rep****, that I wanted it cancelled all together - not migrated to prepaid. REF: Cancellation [# ********** 6]</p> <p>* Come 20th September, I was charged the full invoice amount for the month despite this being prorated until the 18th of September. I let it go.</p> <p>* Today when I called in, I was advised I can’t 'migrate' to prepaid until my balance was settled to R0.00. (I pay in arrears plus a few arrangements so this seemed almost impossible as I only know the amount due the next month in the current month so I will never be able keep up and clear this to ZERO).</p> <p>*I then picked up she kept saying ‘Migrate’ and again I advised that I wanted to CANCEL the Line not Migrate to prepaid. The lady then told me she would escalate as the request was captured incorrectly but just now, I got an email from Retentions to advise that my line has been MIGRATED TO MTN PREPAD despite an internal email below that requesting them to CANCEL THE LINE!!!! REF:migrate to prepaid [# ********** 6]</p> <p> </p> <p>How bad can this get really? I don’t understand. I am at wits end and I don’t know what more to do,</p> <p> </p> <p>I have mailed, I have called, been given wrong info more than once including this morning about payments and Pre-paid Migration and now I will probably be paying for more things that should be off my account?</p> <p> </p> <p>I demand a credit for the extra days charged in September and I will not be paying a single cent more to this line. I have not used this line in years and all I want is to close it please!!</p> <p> </p>
Thank you for your post
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with our service.
Please be advised that the future SIM deactivation was set on 2016-08-22 for the number 078****500 to be deactivated on 2016-09-18, the system cancelled the future deactivation on 2016-09-02 because of a payment arrangement that was made on that date. The invoice dated 2016-09-20 is valid as that was the last invoice in the 24 months contract term, no credit is due.
Rest assured it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you.

Siphumezo you response hardly answers my problem nor sheds light to a way forward.
"the system cancelled the future deactivation on 2016-09-02 because of a payment arrangement that was made on that date" Why does it have to be you to first advise me of this? Are the many of your colleagues I spoke to not able to advise or did not know this at the time?
I would have never made arrangment if iknew it would adverslty affect this cancellation :-(
Now, way foward...will I be charged for chaging line to Prepad which I did not ask for?
is this line still active?
You must understand that I dont want to pay a single cent more than I should on these lines and they must be cancelled as they become due.
Thanks
