SERVICE LINE SUSPENDED DUE TO INCORRECT BILLING

On the 1/2/15 I upgraded my top up contract with the Waterfront branch, Cape Town. I was advised that i would be paying a fixed amount of R604pm which included insurance. I had a credit on my account of R720 which i had paid in advance. To my surprise i have been billed out of bundle charges for the 2nd phone for Feb and March even though i had a fixed, top up contract.I was told that the system incorrectly billed me. On 2 Occasions i visited the branch to advise them of the query. On 9/4/15 Siphokazi advised me that she will sort this out and even advised me she would forward this to her manager. I received on the same day a req ref of *** that it would be reversed asap. Instead i received a demanding sms on 22/4 that the amount of R956.45 need to be paid or my line would be suspended and this would affect my credit rating, Before that i had contacted the Call centre on numerous occasions having to wait more than 20mins to speak to a consultant. Eventually i gave up. My line is suspended and being in sales myself i cannot access my clients. No response from the Waterfront branch or even Mtn's Billing dept which delivers a horrible service. Utterly disgusted and unhappy client

Hello FerozahP,

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused and for the delayed response to your post.

We have now perused your account and see that your usage limit barring failed and you were billed for the additional usage that was generated.

A billing query was logged on the 9th of April 2015 and the request was closed off on the 23rd of April 2015 with a total credit of R640.22 being approved and allocated to your account.

Once again we do apologize for the breakdown in service.

Regards
Tim
