Urgent: Recurring Billing Discrepancy on My Accoun

Dear MWEB Support Team,

I am writing to bring urgent attention to a recurring billing discrepancy on my account, which appears to have happened again this month.

As experienced previously, the full monthly subscription amount does not seem to have been correctly deducted, despite sufficient funds being available and no missed payment on my side. Based on past experience, this type of error has resulted in my account being incorrectly placed into arrears and my service being suspended.

At this stage, my service is still active, but I want to address this proactively before any incorrect suspension occurs.

I would appreciate your urgent assistance with the following:

• A review of this month’s billing to confirm whether the correct amount has been deducted • Immediate correction of any discrepancies on my account • Confirmation that my account will not be placed into arrears or suspended due to this issue

Given that this has now happened more than once, I am concerned about a recurring fault in the billing process. I would also appreciate clarity on what measures will be put in place to prevent this from happening again.

If this matter is not resolved and results in a service disruption, I will have no choice but to escalate the complaint to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA).

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution before this impacts my service.

I will be expecting a call ***

Kind regards, Kyle Leeman

Dear MWEB Support Team,

I am writing to formally raise an urgent complaint regarding the disconnection of my internet service, which is both unjustified and a direct result of a billing error on your side.

In the latest billing cycle, an incorrect (lower) amount was deducted from my account. This was not due to any action or negligence on my part. At no point was I informed that the amount deducted was insufficient, nor was I given an opportunity to rectify the shortfall before my service was disconnected.

To be clear:
- Payment was successfully deducted from my account.
- The incorrect amount deducted was due to your billing process.
- Despite this, my service has now been disconnected without proper notice or resolution steps.

This is unacceptable. As a customer, I should not be penalized for an internal billing error.

I require the following actions to be taken immediately:
1. Full restoration of my internet service without delay.
2. A detailed explanation of how this billing error occurred.
3. Confirmation that no penalties, arrears flags, or service impacts will be app**** to my account due to this issue.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate it further through the appropriate consumer protection channels.

I expect urgent feedback and resolution.

Kind regards,
Kyle Leeman
