Pathetic service from MTN billing/accounts department!

The below emails between myself and MTN should say enough!!

"Incorrect

Please check this again. I’m not happy. MTN debited my bank account on the 4th of April 2021 with an amount of R750. I didn’t even authorise this debit order. My account is cash.

Then on the 7th of April 2021, my bank account was debited with another amount of R750 which I did not authorise. That’s why my account is in credit R752.91.

My bank account has no funds. Those two debit orders will return unpaid. What I would like to know is what happened to the payment that I made on the 1st of April? I did an internet payment of R750.

That means this account should be R1502.91 in credit. This is ridiculous service!

Regards

--Original Message-- From: Date: 3 Apr 2021 11:54 AM To: ***; *** Subject: Proof of Payment [#***] Good Day I am becoming a little frustrated now. The attached payment of R750 is still not reflecting in my account. Its been more than 48 hours. The trailing emails below indicate that payment is reflecting but it’s not. Why is it taking so long? All payments were Absa to Absa. See attached screenshots of the balance in the MTN App and sms messages that I have received. 1) Payment of R150 done on 31st March 2021 via EFT 2) Payment of R100 done on 31st March 2021 via ATM cash deposit 3) Payment of R750 done on 1st of April 2021 via EFT MTN security points -:

Just to summarise. DO NOT enter into a contract with MTN SA! I have had this cellphone number for 16 years and I deeply regret changing to contract. I have 5 months left of this misery before I cancel. I just don't have the funds to cancel right now.

Good Day
What is happening with this payment that I made on Wednesday 07th of April 2021? It has already been 2 business days. It was an Absa to Absa payment.
I had to pay this because MTN debited my bank twice, which I did not authorise. Now those payments were rejected because I had no funds in my bank account.
Now I sit with these fees that MTN charges for returned debit orders.
