Fees for router after 3 months of cancellation

Good day, I cancelled/terminated my contract from 22 Jun 2026, please see email below. Ref ***4.The network of my router (rain101) was according to Rain updated because I had no signal.So I reset it but it was still not working.I even phoned them and the lady said they can replace it or I can cancel my contract because I'll be relocating at the end Jun 2026.So I asked her to cancel it and she said nothing about collecting the router.Then I saw the payment of R679 on 3 July 2026 went from my account and I phoned again on 8 July 2026 to cancel it.Rain consultant said it was cancelled, but then again the fees on 4 Aug and 3 Sep went from my account. Total R1358.Now when I ask why, they said they need to collect the router, but they haven't and I thought they are not going to since I relocated.The router was not working and I don't have it anymore.R2037 was debited from my account without my permission and now I have to pay R4100 for the device. Does not make sense.

Very bad service delivery.
Cancelled the Rain network service more than twice and still they deduct money from my account for service they do not render. Their routers do not last and then the customer must pay for the routers.

Hey Rain, thank you for your call and feedback yesterday, much appreciated.
I however did find my router in a box due to the relocation and i did contact rain to collect it.
They said my subscription cancellation is only from 1 Oct 2026, which i don't understand since I cancelled it end of June 2026 already. Please ensure you pay me the R2037 which was incorrectly debited from my account for 3 months. I also assume I don't need to complete the AOD, because you will be collecting the router. Meaning, no additional cost from my side. Thanks

Good day Rain,

Why can't you collect the device after arrangements were made last week.
Again delaying the process, so frustrating.
This is not about if the device is working or not, the collection was arranged because the contract was terminated and the device is your property.
Once collected you can test it. The reason for my termination in June was 1. device was not working and 2. I relocated to another estate where rain is not allowed.
You don't need to collect it, just pay me my refund of R2037 due to payments taken from my account *******ly.
The reason you need to collect the device is because 1. it is your property and 2. is for me not to pay R4100 for the device.
Go and listen to all my recordings regarding this matter.
