Pathetic service and error correction!

I "upgraded" my long-standing MTN contract in January 2018. The contract was sold to me as a R699 per month contract with a 2 month payment holiday, therefore R699 x 22 months effectively. The first 2 months I expected a zero invoice as I did not exceed my allocated free minutes/SMS's/Data. The bill I received for the first 2 months had a discounted amount of R249 and a charge for itemised billing fee of R21.50 which I was not paying prior to the "upgrade". I went to the Newton Park, Port Elizabeth branch of MTN on 22 June 2018 to complain and demand the credit of the remaining R450 for 2 months, plus the cancellation of the itemised billing and refund of the months charged to date. I got a reference number SMS'ed to me. A month later a received another SMS to say my query had been resolved. But no correction was on my next bill. I then went back to the MTN branch and explained the whole story again. I have now received my next account and all that has happened is my itemised billing has been cancelled going forward. I still want a credit for the R900 overcharge for the first 2 months of the contract and the R172 of unwanted, unsolicited and complained about itemised billing charge. How do I go about this, because it seems that going to your branch and already wasting 2 hours of my time achieved nothing!

Another 23 days have passed, another "Empty N" statement received and no correction, no communication, just nothing! Your "active" efforts at improving your service are failing dismally! I wish I could charge MTN my hourly rate for all the time I have wasted in trying to get them to correct their billing error! Please just credit my account with overcharges!
