Re: Billing error query USD REQ:*** [#***1

This goes back to my original problem. When I checked the limit, it was set to R10. How did the bill go to over R7000? This was after the consultant told me that the downloads would stop once data is finished. When I told MTN this, they told me that its because it was an open line. So whats the point of a credit limit if the line is open? The consultant must be held accountable for this. Pls confirm that this is no longer an open line.<br> <br> Previous response:<br> <br> Hello theforce,<br> <br> Thank you for your post.<br> <br> We are terribly sorry for the inconveniences that you experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it causes. <br> <br> In order to set up a limit on your number, please dial *141*5#.<br> <br> A URL report will be e-mailed to you, which will give a breakdown of the data usage.<br> <br> Please note that all applications follow a credit vetting process, during this process your credit history and rating is evaluated in accordance to the National Credit Act, which provides us with a score based on your affordability.

Hello theforce,

Thank you for your post.

We apologize for the delayed response and for any inconvenience incurred.

Note the credit limit and usage limit is 2 different tools.

The usage limit will prevent for the account to be billed extra on the account.
