Not able to handle my account query to my satisfac

On 16 Feb. 2016 at 15H51 i received an sms from Mtn notifying me that my account has been suspended because i have exceeded my credit limit. Shocked about this news, i arrive at Mtn Vaal Mall just after 16H00 the same day to find out what is wrong with my account. After waiting in the que for 45 minutes (!), i get to talk to a service adviser where i explain my problem. i insisted that she phones Mtn to find out what the problem is, after which i am told that on the 28th of January an amount of R3300 was transferred from my number to a pay-as-you-go number, but apparently they cannot say what the number is. i strongly deny that any such transaction was made by me, to which i am simply advised that i will have to pay the amount, then wait for my itemized billing to arrive in three weeks' time, and then i can lodge another complain?!! i have been a loyal customer of Mtn for over 10 years now, and when my payments are due, the debit orders go off without excuses, but when i have a sudden HUGE R3300 problem of which i have no knowledge, this is the best response i get from a network that claims to be the best at everything. i think this is absolutely shocking customer service!!
