False advertising and misleading Rain Data

So we've all seen the Rain Data ad that tells you "Affordable data, no contractional obligation" ect since I was in need of better internet I decided to buy the sim from take a lot and followed the instructions. I checked whether the internet is available in my are and it was I created the profile and paid first month R479. After registration internet was not available and we couldn't use the sim card I reached out to them no reply and decided just to cancel the service. To my horror I discovered last night they've been taking money monthly since January without my approval or authorization I contacted them immediately to which they rep**** (Unfortunately the package you are currently using has a recurring charge thats not billed based on usage but according to activate service. To avoid being billed you can cancel the service) I tried cancelling the service and its asking me for a cancelation payment of R479 that will be deducted 1 June no part of me agreed to this they never sent an invoice or indicated these were the terms. Absolutely horrible I am now on telkom and will change my bank information because the ad is misleading and communication poor.

I never used the sim card cause it didn't work even after it showed it worked in my area and you guys took R479 every month never send an invoice and I didn't even use it ontop of taking my money and refusing to issue a refund 10am this morning when I tried to cancel you're agent emailed me I had to pay June then it will be canceled R2395 out my pocket because you don't say anywhere that money will be taken monthly. I knew it sound to good to be true but I had faith that you wouldn't do something like this. I want jt cancelled and I will not pay for June

Kind regards

Hi

Contracts on monthly subscription!....? It should be communicated with customers because the ad says "no contacts" subscription based or not its false and misleading to tell people that what makes it worse is that you don't even srnd invoices if you did I would have picked up on the sneak unauthorized debit a while ago and stopped it

I receive an email stating I will be getting a refund and a full refund I'm hoping because this is wrong on so many level please confirm
