Utterly disgusted at the poor service!

im so disgusted at the service im getting from this ******* network, i regret ever taking a contract with MTN, ive recently been debited crazy amounts of money which i had no clue of and there was no communication whatsoever, i made a mistake by calling into the call centre 808, i spoke to a girl named Nadedne Brown who was so rude from the beginning of the call when i was enquiring (i have the call recording, on my phone as well as email) I asked Nadene to stop being rude and she told me that if i feel that she is being rude, i should hang up and call again (the nerve) ive never had to deal with such terrible customer service in my entire life, she was screaming and shouitingh on the phone, i was not even sure if she was screaming at me or what, is this the calibre of people you hire at your contact centre? i was placed on mute for soooo long, crazy amounts of dead air, ger attitude stinks just like the network she works for!!!. thereafter i got an email from a Portia Mukaswe who works in the billing department who sent " Good Day Miss Salemane In response to your query REQ:***Kindly note as at 2015-04-01 OOB rating on packages changed to R0.87 excl. vatKindly note that the said invoices have been validated customer has been charged correctlyInvoice dated 2016-03-20 Day data used 1063.54MB – 500MB(Monthly allocation) =563.54MB X 0.87(Out of Bundle rate)=R490.27 excl.vat ( Amount customer was supposed to be charged)" i emailed back asking if i was suppose to be charge R490.27 as per her email why was i debited R1856, this all happened on the 21st of April 2016 but to date i havent got any response from her, i was shocked at that amount as i used that sim card for about a month and i got an sms stating id be chrged R700 and since then i took out the sim and stop using the phone, tIn Jan I was debited 169.00 as it was the amount I’ve always been debited because I was not using the sim, in feb I was debited 351.86 as I used the sim a bit, suddenly in March it was 944.39 which I reversed because I did not understand as the sms said R700 but after calculated I figured that it was the 700 plus 169 which I’m always debited, how did this now escalate to R1856 as after The sms I got for R700, I stopped using the sim. iasked the initial onsultant (Nadene) as she kept insisting i used the phone, i asked her when and she had no answer and eventually told me that the invoice she saw had no dates, i went to the northgate MTN branch and they could not see anything on the system, im just dissapointed in MTN, go ***** money elsewhere not in my account.....i and listen to the call i had with nadene and thats if thats her real name. i called on the 21st April with the number *** i called 808, i have the recording on my cell if you need it emailed. so sickening

Thank you for your post.

 Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience experienced

On the invoice investigated ref # REQ:*** the amount of R490.27 is for data charges excl vat. We have sent a request to the billing department to forward you the full url report for the invoice so that you may view what you were billed for ref # REQ:***, the turnaround time for the report to be received is 3 working days.

Please be advised that the reason we run a debit order of R1856.44, is because the debit order for invoice  dated 2016-02-20 returned unpaid therefore the amount was added to the current invoice finalised on the 2016-03-20.

 We would like to assure you that we are actively working to improve our service levels.
