MTN SUSPEND LINE (PAID) DUE TO OTHER LINE ERROR

I took out a cellphone contract for my son in July 2015. It was a My Choice 25 Top up. On the day I took the contract out I told Tshepo that I want a Top Up contract because I need the phone to stop at the amount of R25 and then we would Top up again. I specifically told him that I do not like surprises. In November I received a bill of R6865.40 for this line. I reported it and they said that I should have put up a limit. I took it up with Tshepo and he said it was a mistake because it was a Top up contract and not an open line. Myself an Tshepo have been trying since then to resolve the issue with MTN. I went to Tshepo in December and ask him what I really need to pay (without the mistake), he informed me and I paid it on EFT. On Tuesday they suspended ALL MY LINES because I did not pay the full outstanding amount.<br> <br> I feel that this is not right. By all means suspend the line that has the issue but WHY SUSPEND ALL MY OTHER LINES WHICH ARE FULLY PAID?<br> <br> Please assist me to get the other line suspension cancelled while they resolve the query reported on 26 November (ref ***) and 3 December (Ref ***). Tshepo Moeng number is *** or *** (private)

Hello matienie,

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

We've now perused your account and can confirm that the package that was selected and active is the MTN Choice 25 Flexi, however there was no SUL set as it was not requested by the consultant who assisted with the application process.

The usage being disputed has been investigated and validated by our Data Validations Team and our Billing Department. Both teams confirmed the usage to be valid.

We've now contacted the store confirming this information and advised them of the issue needing to be resolved at store level as the usage limit was never requested from the store.

We will touch base with you as soon as we get feedback from the store.

Regards
Tim
