Disappointed in business practices

Rain accepted my monthly subscription payment but continues to keep my service disconnected unless I first settle an old promise-to-pay balance.

My issue is simple: if my service is suspended due to arrears, why is Rain still taking my monthly subscription payment for a service I cannot use?

I am currently paying for the month, yet I remain disconnected. This feels unfair, misleading, and financially exploitative. Customers should not be billed for active service while being denied access.

I understand there is an arrears balance, but accepting current subscription fees without restoring service or properly adjusting billing is unacceptable.

I am requesting:

- Immediate clarity on Rain’s billing practices - Refund for services paid for but not received - A fair repayment arrangement for arrears instead of complete disconnection after payment - Better customer support and transparency

This situation places unnecessary financial pressure on customers and raises serious concerns about consumer fairness.

I hope Rain resolves this urgently before I escalate further through ICASA and consumer protection authorities.

My service is not active. If 7 payments returned unpaid and there is 24 months that does not make sense and why the changing stories and lies. My service is not active and you have billed me for a service that is not active. I will escalate the matter to ICASA for a resolution

The payment made was for current service and not the promise to pay. Why bill me for a service that I will not be able to use that is unfair business practice. I will escalate the matter to ICASA and hear what they have to say. The promise to pay is a separate matter. I paid for this months service and you are ****ming me out of my money

I am extremely dissatisfied with Rain’s unfair billing practices. I have paid for my current monthly subscription, yet my service remains disconnected because of an old Promise to Pay balance.

Rain accepted payment for this month’s service but is refusing to provide the service I paid for unless I first settle previous arrears. This is unacceptable. If my service cannot be restored, why was payment for the current month accepted?

Rain cannot continue charging customers for active service while withholding access. I request immediate restoration of my paid service or a fair resolution as soon as possible.
