pathetic service

In September I missed my payment on my normal debit date. I then received sms's from MTN and you suspended my phone. I received an sms with bank details to get my account back up to date, I then paid on the 14th to the account number given to me via sms. I phoned the call centre the next day and was told it could take 72 hours for the money to reflect. On Sunday the 17th I received an sms to advise me you were in the process of reactivating my phone, by Monday everything was sorted, This obviously means the money reflected, I then received an sms later in the month telling me my account would be debited R504 (double debit) I immediately called the call centre and they told me the money wasn't reflecting for September, if the money wasn't reflecting why would you re activate my phone??! I was told to email collections, which I did, no response, so when MTN debited the R504 at the end of September I reversed it as I was not in arrears, I did not miss a payment in September it was just late, I then emailed collections again and got replies from different people every time, asking me the same thing every time which was proof of payment. I literally attached the proof of payment along with screenshots of all the sms's I received every single time but I seemed to get an automated response and no one was assisting me. I even attached a recording that I had with one of your call centre agents. I now received ANOTHER sms telling me I would be double debited at the end of this month. I do not owe any money, I have the proof of payment for both September and October which as I said I have sent numerous times. I have asked twice via email to Sifiso to have a manager contact me as I just want the matter sorted, If I wasn't paying you, I would understand, but I am, this query has been going on for close to a month and I am tired of the pathetic service I'm receiving, I just want confirmation that everything is sorted, this really should have been done long ago.

Hi Kabelo Thanks for the response, can you please confirm that my account is now up to date and I wont be double debited? Sorry I missed your call, I work in a call centre so it is difficult to answer calls. Kind regards,
