Double debit order, no resolution

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the service I have received from Rain.

On 26 March 2026, I made an online payment of R619 because our services had been suspended. The previous payment date had been moved to the 25th due to the December billing cycle, and I was informed that it could only be changed again after 90 days.

After making the payment on the 26th, I changed the payment date back to the 1st of the month, which is the date it has always been. I was again debited this morning for R619.

Since then, Rain’s billing and customer service teams have given me multiple different reasons as to why a refund or credit will not be processed. Every time I speak to someone, I receive a different explanation, which is both frustrating and completely unacceptable.

This is highly ********* and once again confirms why I want to cancel my subscription with Rain. Unfortunately, they make it extremely difficult to port a cellphone number to another service provider, and this is the only reason I am still forced to use their services.

This is also not the first time I have experienced poor service from this company.

I have never been so disgusted by the level of customer service provided by any company as I am with Rain.

I sincerely hope this matter is resolved urgently.

Thank you for your response.Unfortunately, your explanation still does not address the issue I am raising.As per my records, I made payment on the following dates:
  • 26 February 2026
  • 26 March 2026
  • 1 April 2026 (debit processed today)
Based on this, it appears that a double debit has now been app**** to my account.I understand that the account is billed on a post-paid basis. However, the payment made on 26 March was specifically made to restore suspended services and should have been allocated accordingly. I then changed my payment date back to the 1st of the month, as previously communicated.The concern is that I have now effectively paid again on 1 April, despite already having made payment on 26 March, which means there is an overlap / duplicate collection for the same billing cycle.
At this stage, it appears that a double debit applies, and I require urgent resolution of this matter.

Please urgently provide:
  1. A full statement and billing breakdown reflecting the February and March invoices
  2. Clear confirmation of which billing period each payment was allocated to
  3. Written confirmation as to why a debit was processed again today
  4. Confirmation of whether a refund or account credit will be app**** for the duplicate amount
