Nobody knows what they are doing at Netstar

I arranged OVER A MONTH ago to have the unit in my son's vehicle upgraded, as advised by Netstar. I checked they had my son's correct details on their system. Today, OVER A MONTH LATER I received a clall from Netstar Umtata to arrange the fitment. I told them that AS ARRANGED they should be contacting my son. My son then recevied a call only to be told that they are too far away from him, and this should have been arranged with local reps. I called Netstar to sort this out, only to be passed from person to person, and told that the Planning depat are "in a meeting", and that the fitment was sent to the EL branch, which is 150KM AWAY FROM MY SON'S ADDRESS WHICH IS ON FILE AT NETSTAR. Nobody can tell me what the hell is going on. My insurance coverage is contingent on the vehicle having a working tracker unit, which I have always taken great care to ensure was in place. I wouldn't trust Netstar to find a beer in a brewery, never mind track a vehicle which had been ******. I have been promised a phone call....those promises which never materialise. This is the worst Customer Service I have experienced for years. If I needed to be this stressed out I could have gone to sit in a traffic jam, it would feel better than dealing with this absolute nonsense.

Reviewer Update
Your agent promised me that earlier that she would call back at 12:30. She did not. She promised me that someone from the Scheduling (or Planning department) would call me back today. No-one did. I want to know exactly what went wrong between my call to make the arrangements for fitment on the 16th of Feb (or a day earlier?), and now; I want to know why the fitment was allocated to Umtata? I want to know how you can justify leaving my son's car without a replacement unit WHICH I WAS INSTRUCTED BY A NETCARE AGENT HAD TO BE REPLACED - my insurance coverage depends on having a working tracker in the car, and it seems that while you are quite happy to deduct my premiums every month, you take no responsibility for fitting the unit. I want a letter of apology WHICH MUST INCLUDE AN EXPLANATION addressing my questions above. I want a call as well, the call I waited all day for. YTou are not going to get away with a reply to a bad review, that is just side stepping me and I am so angry that if I do not receive a phone call TODAY, I will have no choice but to find a lawyer to get me out of my contract with you.
