warranty claim disaster

I Booked my new phone in for warranty claim. Filed in mtn technical fault report form supp**** by jet 26/02/2015. I wait 4 weeks advised. Go in to Jet after 4 weeks. No phone. 6 wks. No phone. Jet try calling mtn. Nothing from mtn. Strike ya!!! I phone mtn19/05 and get told by mtn they would phone me back within 48 hours. nothing .try phoning again. nothing.... .finally get first SMS from mtn saying it costs R 330 to fix. I try phoning. no answer. finally get through on the 27th of JULY. get told by very unfriendly staff that I had rejected the repair quote for R1200 (news to me) . Brand new the phone is R 500. I must pay R330 repair rejection fee. Sir it's on the form you signed. I go find the form. Nothing on form about R 330. phone back. Sir that was the wrong form...... pay R 330. managers refuse to speak to me. staff interrupt when talking. please just send back my phone. It's still under warranty!
