Refund not paid

I cancelled the cell phone contract for cell number *** during the first week of May 2015. (The number was converted to a prepaid number, and the 2 year contract had run its course) At the time I was advised that I would be refunded on a pro-rata basis for the May 2015 billing amount of R179.99.<br> <br> I received the May 2015 bill it was for R177.41, and the money was deducted from my account. This is only a R2.58 reduction, a 1.4% pro rata reduction!!<br> <br> Can this be correct.<br> <br> I was given a Query Reference number: *** in case there was an error. - - There is an error.<br> <br> I phoned the MTN call centre, today the 1 June 2015, and did not receive any help, the consultant said the reduction was probably correct, and the cancellations department had been closed due to the strike. <br> <br> MTN can you not get it right, as previously I had complained about being overcharged on the same cell account, now I am charged for virtually a full month, when the contract had been cancelled for the majority of the month.<br> <br> I also had been trying to cancel this contract since the end of March '15. I was shunted between the Shop in the Galleria and the call centre<br> <br> Glad to be out of MTN<br> <br> Mike Matthews

Hello matthmik,

Thank you for posting.

I do know how frustrating this can be, do note that our management teams are aware of this and due to the current protest action being experienced there are delays in our customer touch points.

There is a credit R177.41 reflecting on your account, I will our Banking department to credit your bank details as soon as the protest action is over.

I hope the above is in order and would once again like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Regards
Jean
