NETSTAR ABSOLUTE TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!

Good day

Receiving absolutely horrifying service from Netstar!

I had a 3 year contract with them, that we've purchased with our vehicle. This contract expired 17 September 2022, same date as when installation was done 3 years ago.

I was contacted and asked if I wish to continue with the contract, and I agreed, much to my disgust. Netstar continued to invoice me for the whole of August & September 2022.

Dispite numerous emails to their accounts issue not sorted out, eventually I received an email stating that if I "upgrade", credit note will be issued. Upon receiving this I stated that I do not wish to continue with their service any longer, as I see this as totally unfair to sort of "*********" me to continue with their service then I will receive my credit due.

I continued to cancel the debit order on my bank account, but Netstar continued to deduct monthly amounts (now escalating each month) even after a lady contacted me telephonically, stating that she works with Netstar contracts, and I've explained the whole long story to her, she responded she will contact their departments immediately and sort this out.

Needless to say, never received another phone call or email from anyone.

I have today AGAIN had to go into the bank to cancel the debit order on my account. Useless waste of my working time and fuel. I am a single mom raising 2 daughters by myself and the way that I have been handled so far is just unbelievable. I now had to go to this extent to get them to get their act together and CANCEL THE DEBIT ORDER ON MY ACCOUNT!

Your service is no service and your email system not working - sending email upon email and maybe receiving a response from someone days later, every time a different person - and no one can sort out this issue for me.

Good day

One of your consultants did phone me while I was in teams meeting, and I told her to phone me between 13h00 and 14h00 as I am not allowed private phone calls in work time.

Needless to say no return phone call.

All I am asking is that you CANCEL the debit order on my account as I've CANCELLED the upgrade that I wanted to do - I am really not interested in doing any business with Netstar any longer.

YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN CANCELLING THE ABOVE WILL BE APPRECIATED!

Thank you

Please check your email system!

26 August the 1st email was sent, requesting you to credit the incorrect invoices issued (as per installation date / contract expiry date - 17 September 2022. You invoiced me for the whole of August as well as September 2022).

Since August NUMEROUS emails sent requesting cancellation, especially after one of your consultants sent me email telling me that if I continue to upgrade, the credit will be done.

PLEASE CANCEL YOU DEBIT ORDER ON MY ACCOUNT, AS REQUESTED NUMEROUS TIMES NOW!!!!
