MTN Service Sucks- Trying to Rip me off

My MTN contract came to end on05/05/15, I recieved a bill from MTN that i'm going to be charged R170 compared to me normally payin R69.00 per month. I called call centre on19/05/15 to query this bill and the Staff member Tandiso advised that my contract ended so now my discounts fall away and i'm liable for R170 i then immediately requested that they move me to Prepaid and reverse the charges, he confirmed that he will request i get changed to Prepaid and would take 48hrs and retentions would call me but i'm liable for the cost. I then requested for his team leader Yongama to contact me as i was not once notified that once my contract end the discounts will fall away an i will be liable for R170 to make things worst i was not contacted once by retention to offer me a renewal even though i contacted MTN few weeks ago to query how i can port over to Vodacom as i'm not getting proper service from MTN. Yongama advised that she will reverse my airtime that was loaded &i wont be liable for future bills but my account will b change to prepaid on 21/05/15.Checked with MTN store on23/05/15advised i'm still in contract.Now my complaint is delayed due to the MTN striking call centre is closed

Hello pillayaa,

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

The invoice for the amount of R170.00 was inclusive of the standard subscription fee of your package and services on the contract.

We do understand that your contract expired on the 05th of May 2015 and will credit the difference of R101.00 and thereafter request that our Banking Department refund it into your banking account.

Regards
Tim
