Cancelled April 2025. Billed R7,215. 19+ unauthorised card attempts. NCC & PASA complaints filed.

I cancelled my Rain subscription on 18 April 2025 in writing. What followed over the next 13 months: Rain issued 13 consecutive invoices totalling R7,215.00 on a cancelled account. Rain made a minimum of 19 separate card charge attempts against my bank account in June and July 2025 alone — sometimes daily — all declined, all marked Unpaid. Every failed attempt triggered a WhatsApp payment demand to my phone per Rain's own policy. I changed my bank account because of this. I absorbed bank fees because of this. I spent months being treated as a debtor for a service I cancelled because the connection was poor. When I finally escalated formally, Rain's Legal department sent me a letter on 21 May 2026 confirming the account was cancelled. The very next morning the rainGO app showed: Status — Up to Date. Next payment — 15 June 2026. Card still active. On the same day their Legal letter was written, Rain issued a Credit Note of R7,215.00 to zero the balance — without telling me, without apologising, and without offering compensation for 13 months of harm. Everything in this review is proven by Rain's own documents — their own invoices, their own bot, their own Legal letter. I have filed complaints with the NCC (Ticket E37FC166A1D6D) and PASA. I am preparing Magistrate's Court papers. If you cancelled Rain and are still receiving payment demands — you are not alone. Ask askRain to show your declined payment history. Request all invoices from your cancellation date. Rain — account ***1. My demand of R***xx. xx remains open until 30 May 2026.

Thank you Rain. I note your Legal team is aware of this matter. For the public record — I cancelled my subscription on 18 April 2025. Rain billed me for 13 consecutive months totalling R7,215.00 on a cancelled account. Rain's own system confirmed 19+ unauthorised card charge attempts in June and July 2025 alone. Rain's Legal letter of 21 May 2026 confirmed cancellation — yet the account showed active billing the very next morning. The NCC has this matter on record under Ticket E37FC166A1D6D. PASA has been notified. My demand of R***xx. xx remains open until Friday 30 May 2026. I look forward to Rain's Legal team's written response.

Dear Mr Delport, Without prejudiceThank you for your correspondence and for providing the supporting information.rain has reviewed the matter and confirms that there were temporary technical issues affecting the processing of your cancellation request. Your account has now been corrected and closed, the relevant credits have been app****, and the balance on the account is now nil.We have also considered your request for compensation. As previously explained, rain’s terms and conditions, which you agreed to upon purchasing the service, limit rain’s liability for any further damages, losses, inconvenience, distress, loss of time, or other indirect or consequential claims.However, as an act of good faith and without admission of liability, rain is willing to reimburse you for the direct bank fees linked to the relevant retry attempts. Based on the supporting information provided and the bank charges reflected, this amount is equal to R11.20 in respect of the 40c bank charges linked to the relevant card attempts.This amount is offered in full and final settlement of the verified direct bank charges arising from this matter. rain is not able to offer any additional compensation beyond this amount.Please confirm the banking details into which the reimbur*****t should be paid.Kind regards,rain Legal

This is what Rain thinks about one of its clients, what an insult.

Deadline expired. Rain Legal failed to respond to the formal demand regarding the admitted R7,215.00 overcharges and resulting psychiatric injury. Civil summons has been initiated at the Welkom Magistrate's Court today, 3 June 2026. The Combined Summons has been officially stamp, waiting for case number tomorrow. The R11.20 settlement offer remains an insult.
