OnAir's shoddy customer service and refusal to supply a means to lodge a complaint

<p>I purchased an Explora through OnAir on a 24 month contract. The final debit order did not occur in June as it should, so I sent an email querying same. The reponse was that I must make a manual payment which makes no sense as the debit order I authorised should have run. I dealt with an agent Kajal Pillay who was unable to give me a reason as to why the debit order wasn't raised, and also could not assure me that the debit order wouldn't be processed at a later stage. My query was escalated to a Fathima Mohideen on Thursday 29th June and as I was copied on the email I know it was sent. Despite me following up on Friday, yesterday and again today, I have yet to have the courtesy of a response. I attempted to obtain a complaints address from the online chat option on the website, but Silindile, after ignoring my message (it was read) for 15 mins said that there was only the one address I had already used. How is it possible that they prevent clients from logging a complaint due to lack of customer service? DSTV shoiuld rethink using OnAir as a partner service provider if OnAir cannot even response to email queries. If I cannot get a reply to an email, how would I ever get confirmation of a manual payment and that they wouldn't process any further debit orders! I wonder if this post will even be read, never mind repsonded to? </p>

So here we are, another day later, and I am not surprised that the "will be contacted and assisted shortly" did not happen as promised. It has now been a full week since I initiated this query and I still await the courtesy of the promised response from Fathima Mohideen. Customer service is clearly not important to OnAir and by connection DSTV .....

Another day later, and still no response to my daily emails. Nobody seems to care about rectifying problems or responding to complaints and when I see how many posts there are about debit order issues I understand that the common denominator problem is OnAir!
