Overcharging & under-delivering, cannot cancel.

The retentions department is ***********.<br> After two weeks of attempts at communication (with a reference number and a complaint reference attached to every email) I get a response asking me for my phone number.<br> <br> MTN make it as difficult as possible for clients to contest the cancellation of their accounts.<br> You cannot dispute in person, only via email which receives a response after 7+ working days that is completely insufficient.<br> <br> Additionally, any billing dispute (they have been overcharging me by %10 each month) takes a minimum of two weeks to received correspondence and then if you receive your funds, they are in MTN credit. You then need to open up another case to have those funds be placed into your bank account which will take another two weeks.<br> <br> I recommend NEVER signing anything that ties you in to this company. They are expensive, with poor service delivery and non-existent after-sale care.<br> <br> Sign a month by month or go with Cell C

Hello ittyza,

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused and for the delayed response to your post.

We've perused your account and see that you've been advised on numerous occassions about your termination date and the early termination fee.

The contract expires on the 20th of January 2016 and if you cancel now you will be charged an early termination fee. The fee will need to be calculated again as it's been almost 30 days since the last quote was done.

We have now also perused the account and see that you have an additional SMS bundle and your invoice closes on R379.00 per month if you have not exceeded your monthly airtime, data bundle and SMS bundle provisioning for the month.

Once again we do apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Regards
Tim
MTN Complaints Management Team: REQ:***

Best regards,
