Rain is a ****

It has now been more than two weeks since I requested a refund from Rain, and to date I have not received any form of correspondence—neither via email nor telephone. On 15 January 2025, Rain processed a double debit on my account. I immediately requested a refund, as I had not used the service for over three months and my Wi‑Fi connection had been suspended. I was assured that the matter would be resolved within 24–48 hours; however, this did not happen. When I followed up after the promised turnaround time, I was met with unprofessional and dismissive behaviour from several agents. I was informed that I would not receive my refund, and my request to cancel the subscription was refused. Instead of cancelling the service and refunding the duplicate debit, Rain has attempted multiple debits from my bank account on a daily basis—despite the connection remaining suspended. One of the agents even stated that I should have contacted Rain the moment I was admitted to hospital. On 28 January 2025, I posted a review on HelloPeter due to the unacceptable service received from the call centre. I had informed Rain of my hospitalisation, during which I was unable to use the service. After my discharge, I reiterated this, and Rain confirmed that there was no usage during that period. Despite this, they debited R1 178, kept the service suspended, refused to cancel the subscription, and declined to process my refund. The only response I received was a generic message on HelloPeter stating, “We're going to get on this ASAP.” To date, no further communication has been received, and no one from Rain has contacted me. Rain does not respond to customers publicly because they prefer to provide misleading information privately. Do not be deceived—complaints are not resolved. If you subscribe to Rain, be aware that you may be subjected to the same treatment. You are going to be ****med by Rain.

You have included the three months during which I was hospitalised, yet I am being billed for periods in which the service was not used. Please clarify why I should be liable for charges during months of non‑usage. Additionally, you have added charges for January 2026 and February 2026, despite the fact that the service was suspended. It is unclear why I am being billed for these months when the connection was inactive.Furthermore, I was double‑debited, and my refund request continues to be declined without justification. I should not be expected to pay for five months of service that I did not receive. During my hospitalisation, I was not in a position to contact you immediately. Despite the poor service I received and my subsequent request to cancel the subscription, you proceeded to bill me for an additional two months while the service remained suspended.More than one agent informed me that the three months of hospitalisation would be waived and that I would not be billed for that period. Instead of applying this, I have now been charged for two additional months, on top of the double debit that has still not been refunded.

Additionally, here are some of the reference numbers: ***8, ***2, ***8, ***2. None of the tickets were attended to. I cannot locate some of the tickets that were logged via askrain.

I was admitted to hospital—why should I be expected to pay during that period? There was no way for me to know in advance that I would be hospitalised. Despite this, you suspended the service, double‑debited my account, and your consultants confirmed that the three months of hospitalisation would be waived. Instead of resolving the matter, I was told that I should have notified you before being admitted to hospital, which is unreasonable.Furthermore, I have now been billed for an additional two months even though the Wi‑Fi service has been suspended, and you have refused both to cancel the subscription and to resolve the outstanding issue. Please explain how charges for January and February are justified while the service was already suspended and after I had requested cancellation. Why am I being held financially responsible for a service I am not receiving? Why am I being held ransom for services I am not even getting? That is pure *****!
