Overcharging and apparent refusal to cancel despite numerous requests.

I subscribed to Yellodata about a year and a half ago, for 1gig of data at R69. Later I discovered this was in fact only 500mb, and the price increased to R79. Furthermore, they began to charge me R464 for 'going over limit'; I never received any warnings that I was approaching my limit.

Suffice to say I cancelled immediately. However this seems to be easier said than done.

After getting slammed a second time with a R464 bill for a pathetic 500mb, I emailed them at ********** with a request to immediately cancel my subscription. This was on 1 November 2017. I got a reply later that day that my cancellation was being processed and I would receive a confirmation sms shortly.

This sms never came.

I rep**** to this same support person on 12 November, stating I was still awaiting my cancellation confirmation. I get some sop story two days later (14 November) that there was a glitch in the system, but was assured that my cancellation was processed and I would receive the confirmation sms.

Still no sms...

I mail again on the 24th, and went further by calling their call center. I get another sop story and many apologies, and again get assured that the consultant processed my cancellation.

This morning I found that my account again AGAIN been debited R464. And I didn't even use their frankly useless service.

My advice to anyone who gets a call and offered their 'service': STAY AWAY

Thank you for your post.

We are sorry to have disappointed you with our service and would like to assure you that we do strive to provide the best service at all times.

Thank you for taking my call , as per our telephonic conversation Yellodata is an independent provider. We have spoken to Claudette at Yellodata and she has confirmed that they will be in touch to resolve.
