Misleading information by Rain agents

On the 21/11/24 I called Rain for an upgrade because my router was broken. I was on the unlimited 4G plan and I was eligible to upgrade to their 5G plan. The lady who was assisting me with the upgrade was Babalwa. She assured me that the last payment I would make for the 4G plan would be on the 25th of November because i told her that I don’t want to end up being double billed. She assured me that that would not be happening. I just need to call in for a cancellation when I receive my new device. I received my new device but I could not get through to them so I cancelled the 4g plan on the app. A lady I spoke to on the 26th of November said I should called in after the 1st so that I could be credited. On the 1st of December I received my invoice and it said i had to pay R1160. I called into Rain multiple times and they kept sending me from pillar to post, nobody was getting back to me. On the 11th I spoke to someone who told me that my account had been credited with R1160 and I asked for proof. They said they would be able to provide me with proof but would provide me with reference. To my surprise I receive an SMS saying that I owe the same amount. I contact their twitter team and they don’t know what I’n talking about. They are saying that they don’t know what the agent meant. They don’t care that it is THEIR agents who misled me and provided me with the incorrect information. I was not going to upgrade if I knew that this would be the case. The lady who assisted me with the upgrade told me a different story than what they are telling me now and they don’t seem to care.

So when I was doing the upgrade why did the lady that I spoke to say there would be no such thing and that the last payment for the 4G would be on the 25th Nov and that it would be cancelled immediately?? It was YOUR agent who provided me with the incorrect information, i would’ve not upgraded because I told her that this is what I don’t want. Also, I have called 3 times today and these Chinese sounding agents keeping telling me that my account is up to date and that I don’t owe anything, another one by the name of LOREEZ provided me with a non-existent reference number today at 1 said I am not owing anything. Do they not work for Rain? I keep telling them what you are telling me. YOUR AGENT by the name of Babalwa said that I would not be paying double this month which is the only reason why I agreed to the upgrade and she REASSURED ME. Why cancel my 4G plan on the 30th when I stopped using it on the 20th already?? Why MISLEAD me into upgrading?? You don’t care that YOUR AGENT MISLED ME? DO YOU NOT RECORD CALLS??? This is so unprofessional and frustrating

Also, how am I a POST-PAID customer when I received my first ever Rain sim card on 31/03/21 and the first payment of R479 was on 02/04/21?? Just two days after receiving the sim card???
