RAIN BIGGEST ******* AROUND!

When you first decide to join rain due to the amazing BS that they advertise, they will call u and tell u that it’s month to month and u won’t be held down to a contract and u get a sense of relief because in this day and age u want a peace of mind that u not attached to anything that will get u blacklisted, anyway I went ahead got the router and all was well and then almost 6 months into it I lost my job and here I was not taking much note of this Wi-Fi and sitting with stress and as time went by I realised that my bill for RAIN was actually accumulating, I then made a payment arrangement with them to pay every month on the 5th R800 and which they very nicely made sure they took and then suddenly comes 1st feb 2025 and they decided to take an amount of R2547.50 without been given the go ahead to do so and then I immediately called and a call centre representative who sounded like he was from India by the name of JOLLY tells me that they don’t have any information about my agreement of paying the R800 on the 5th of every month and that if so then I should be calling every month to make that arrangement, then he tells me that he will put a request to the billings department to investigate the matter and will send me a reference number which I can access on my RAIN APP, and until now nothing. I had to call my bank and ask them to reverse the amount and which they told me unfortunately that they can’t do that because RAIN actually doesn’t debit money but they use ur card number to make it look like a purchase, so I would have to deal with them, now it’s Sunday the 2nd of Feb and right now RAIN decides to take the amount which was arranged of R800 out of my account, so this really bedazzled me, how the call centre representative tells me NO arrangement was made but yet R800 was just taken now. So in total within 2days RAIN has taken R3347,50. Rain will not fix this matter, they will not call, they will claim this is what they can do and will do without ur permission. And fyi they lowest package range is so slow that u have to upgrade, they so damn sneaky!!!

Please I don’t need an AUTOMATED REPLY just so that viewers can see that you guys are doing your job, because strangely enough when I called just before I wrote on HELLO PETER the AUTOMATED recording states the call centre is currently closed and will only be available again Monday morning! RAIN is DISHONEST AND ******* and do as they please with customers bank accounts, if it’s month to month then let your customers have a choice to eft or come pay physically but not be forced into putting their bank details on and u do as u please!! And as for your router u have a digital screen which u can actually request for a call back and sometimes it takes up to 2 or 3 days before u even get a call back and that is also during times that u either are sleeping or have ur phone on silent. I have had to spend so much money on airtime being on hold numerous times to only get frustrated and have to request a call back and then only to miss the call and do the whole process again! This is very upsetting!!!!!

Does the ACTIVE SUBSCRIPTION give u the right to take money out of customers bank accounts and whichever amount that pleases you???? Please don’t be salty when arrangements for payments were made and yet u went ahead and took whatever u felt like taking without permission!

Update on Rain, no one has contacted me since my post and also how do u expect me to email a payment arrangement when everything is done telephonically, u guys have recordings of every call and please don’t deny that because in September 2023 when I got this subscription and had to pick my router up at the Green point branch the gentleman who helped me literally told me that they have telephonic recordings to state what the sales consultant said, because there was an issue regarding a verified copy of my id and I told the guy it was not mentioned to me on the call and he said okay he will be able to access the recording to know what information was given! U guys are full of tricks and when your customers come onto such platforms to complain about your pathetic service then u want the customers to look like ****s! Wake up and have a look at how many people are complaining, the handful that are giving u a 5star are new customers and eventually they will also experience the poor service u are providing and the thievery that is going on! I wrote this review on the 2nd of February it’s already the 6th and not one person has contacted me from Rain! That says a lot about how much u care about the business u are running!

Oh my gosh how in the hell can u come up with an answer like that, the payment arrangement was not made in the damn store!!!! It was from your billing department that contacted me!!! So are very sarcastically saying that I need to go to ur call centre and hunt down whoever called me from the billings department and then ask them for the recording??? Are u out of your ****** mind??? Please someone who is literally respond and if u have the ***** then call me and discuss it so that this matter can be sorted, everytime I call I get told a reference number will be sent and billings department will contact me but they have not and it’s been 4days now! Stop your BS
