Overbilling MTN contracts

My dad is a pensioner, and in Aug 2016 he cancelled two MTN contracts, however MTN kept on billing him up until today. He has gone into MTN’s shops and cancelled these contracts a second time, which again failed. Multiple phone calls were made and currently we have two open queries, one with Customer care and one with the Retentions teams which has been created early April which has gone unresolved and unanswered.

We are feeling so helpless as the MTN shops direct us to call centers we need to phone however these centers seem to be not competent in answering our queries and solving this problem. So more than 18months later my dad is still paying for two cancelled contracts. So frustrated as it seems MTN is dragging out this process and we are probably not going to get any of our money back which has been incorrectly taken for more than 18months, its really accumulating to a big amount.

Hi, this was after several months where these contracts were still charged. However, we have now cancelled another 2 contracts with the numbers ********** & ********** on 6 August 2018 and again we have been billed end of August. This cancellation was within the cancellation period before the 24 month renewal which we confirmed with the MTN call centre. Please urgently assist us to get these contracts permanently as we are again being overbilled!!!

Please note we phoned on the 4th of August which was a Saturday and the cancellation team advised us to phone back on the Monday, 6 August, which we did as they did not work over weekend with cancellations.
