Theft from MTN

<p>Not only did MTN deduct the debit order early in December when my debit order date is clearly the 25th of the month, but I have been battling ever since for them to fix my account. I am paying high bank fees each month as they do a double debit, I reverse it, then have to pay them the correct amount.</p> <p>Numerous phone calls, reference numbers, and emails later, I have lost my patience.</p> <p>I have sent detailed emails, attached all kinds of documents, answered their questions and still my account is a mess.</p> <p>The last time I was told it would take up to 48 hours to sort out and I should call again then as the agents cannot dial out. Guess what? The update in their call log says "Incorrect department" and that is where it has stayed. So I have to wait another 24 hours because they have oh so kindly now sent it to the correct department.</p> <p> </p> <p>I work on a service desk for an international company - I log calls, and am responsible for SLA (Service Level Agreements) so they must not take me for an idiot. I know what happens on these call desks and can bet my bottom dollar (Oh wait, MTN has that dollar as well!) that the call was simply closed with that comment.</p> <p>After 16 years with Autopage where I have had an MTN as well as a Vodacom account, I was moved on to MTN and since then it has gone to hell in a handbasket, although funny enough, have not had the same occurrence with Vodacom.</p> <p>Disgusted does not begin to cover what i feel and guess what....being part of an international company believe me, word of mouth is real easy.</p>

Reviewer Update

I should have a credit of over R400. Why do you think I have been arguing so vehemently? I have sent you notifications of all the payments deducted from BEFORE Autopage moved me on to the MTN system. My account is up to date but you keep deducting an additional month.
