Lying to sell you something new

I sent a Facebook message to Rain on the 3rd of Feb. I received a call from a consultant on the Sunday the 9th of Feb.

She advised me I can cancel my existing router I have with Rain since 2021 and place a new order for the 101 router.

I asked her to have someone call me Monday the 10th.

A gentleman by the name of Donovan called me and reiterated I can cancel my existing router with immediate effect and would be charged pro rata for the month of Feb.

I asked him several times on the call to assure me and he did.

He then sold me the new 101 router and advised when I received it to call into the cancellations department to cancel with immediate effect.

I did so the same day being the 10th of Feb and I also asked the lady if I can do an immediate cancellation and be charged pro-rate. She said yes, the cancellation will take 24-48 hours.

I have since called in to follow up on today Wednesday the 12th to ensure the cancellation has gone through as I have received no emails. The consultant I spoke to said the cancellation will only take place month end due to the billing cycle which is what I was afraid of.

I will now be billed for half a month on my old router which is no longer needed?

This is false advertising and incorrect information. Who is held liable for this?

Hi Rain,

A lady by the name of Raeesa called me on the 13th of Feb 3;44 and promised she has done the immediate cancellation as she's read all the notes on my profile. I was elated. She advised I will see a credit on my account for half the month as promised by Donovan on selling me a new router. I have been billed my full amount for my old router with all but a 69 rand credit as the router was collected late. I should have paid 584 or so for the month and yet was debited 900. This is absolutely disgusting.

I demand this be rectified.

Raeesa called me and rectified the issue. I am grateful there are still competent staff at Rain. There is a huge issue with communication between sales, cancellations and billing. Please look into this for future clients 🙏
