Very Disappointing Experience!!!!!

<p>If you are considering getting a contract with these people PLEASE DON'T!!!</p> <p>I don't even know where to start with my experience with MTN. So I had two contracts with them, one which expired in November 2015 and the other expired in March 2017, however, my account got handed over to MBD Attorneys in 2015 which I have been paying through MBD, the handed over amount was R 7,914.20 I made my last payment in May 2017), a nice lady from MBD requested MTN to update my ITC, since obviously my account is paid up. MTN legal department (which by the way does not have a direct line) gave her the following response </p> <p>"Yello</p> <p>Please note client has settled arrears handed over but still in contract with MTN.</p> <p>Therefore we cannot update status as account has yet again fallen in arrears."</p> <p> </p> <p>So they attached a statement to this ****** email which states that I still owe them R 9,651.20 like ***?? so I login into my account and to my surprise they are billing me for the following </p> <p> </p> <p>13/05/2017 MTNCHOICE100M SUBS FEE R127.19<br />13/05/2017 300MB SERVICE FEE R74.56<br />13/05/2017 MONTHLY INSURANCE 0.00<br />- INSURANCE 5000 - R 5000.00 R63.16<br />13/05/2017 Recurring SMS Bundle 200 R26.32</p> <p> </p> <p>This bill sums up to R 332.00. How on God's earth am I still being charged for services on a damn sim card which I have not used since 2015 cos they blocked both sim cards when the account was handed over to the attorneys?? did I even mention that this is just for the one contract that had expired in March 2017??</p> <p> </p> <p>well like that wasn't enough the second contract was also billed imagine this contract expired in 2015 but over the damn years these people charged me </p> <p>13/05/2017 BLACKBERRY INTERNET SERVICE HIGH 51.75<br />13/05/2017 CALL LINE IDENTITY MONTHLY FEE 7.89<br />13/05/2017 MTN 100 TopUp SUBS FEE 96.49<br />13/05/2017 CLI MONTHLY DISCOUNT -7.89</p> <p>Which amounts to R 169.00. </p> <p>I have been calling their call center and they keep saying they would escalate to legal so legal can contact me, which according to their system they have escalated 3 times, but legal has not contacted me it's been 2 ****** weeks now!!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY TALK TO ME AND EXPLAIN *** IS GOING ON HERE!!!! AND UPDATE MY FLIPPING ITC ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

Dear Alice van der Merwe

It has been over 3 weeks since I posted to MTN and I have not received a single call from your legal supervisor. My account still reflects false balances and there is still no explanation as to what is going on. This is really getting out of hand.
