Unauthorised debit orders

<p>MTN called me offering me a cellphone contract. Application was done, advised me of the extras like Phonebox, Techtrace, etc. told them I didn't want them. The agent advised me that I will be receiving sms's of these add ons, however no debit order would go off my account unless I activate these add ons. I did not activate them. I then received an sms from MTN advising me that my contract has been declined. Looking at my account today, 4 debit orders of those add ons went off my account. How is that possible when I didn't even receive a cellphone, did not activate these services?? I called MTN to query these debit orders, consultant cancelled them and told me she cannot reverse the debit orders and would transfer me to a department where they will reverse them. When I got transferred, an automatic voice message stating their office hours are weekdays only. I've been using MTN for over 10years as a prepaid user, service is pathetic and its time to port my number</p>

Thank you for your post

We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it causes.

Please be advised that we have not sent out a debit order to your bank account as you do not have an active MTN contract.

Rest assured it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you.

Kind Regards
Siphumezo
