Rain is ***** it makes unthourized transaction

Rain is *****. I was using Rain internet since 2022, last year I could not afford to keep using it as I had no money, so in September I contacted support that I want to disconnect their services, I have always skipped a month and paid my monthly on the month that I afford which gave me the good impression of prepaid. In February as my things were starting to get better I logged in to pay, to my surprise I had a total amount of R3500 each month I had no connection they kept billing me, I contacted support that they review since they disconnect once you dont make payment and I told them if they can't remove the billing they must collect their router, I just received a message that I will be contacted, 2 weeks later 4 unauthorized transactions of R1046, R529, 529, 529 went off at 4 am from my account. I went to their offices I was only told they can only refund me one R529 with credit, since there was a here and there connection the times I was disconnected.The 2600 they took is my rent money, how can a legit business to a unauthorized transactions? What the point of prepaid then where is the flexibility? That's the reason I chose Rain with no reliable connection so that I can use when I afford. I am so disay. I would warn everyone to never trust rain they are not prepaid and the take payments without being authorized. I feel ****** and this month I will be short rent, internet is a luxury as customers we should be afforded the ability to opt out. Please anyone help I need the money.

Thank you,

Thats the issue! you don't tell that to customers when they buy your Sim, I bought online and it got delivered and therefore I should be able to cancel the services online as well, why was I supposed to go and cancel at the Rain offices when I bought the Rain router online. That's a trick you use to take from unsuspecting customers, When you advertise you say prepaid, you dont tell us it's recurring, the reason many customers want prepaid is to control when we can't afford and not tied by contracts. I logged a message with support in September noone made contact, I did so again 2 weeks ago noone rep****, but here you quickly answer just to clear your name how shameful!

I was not informed you have the right to access my account at 4AM when I am sleeping, all the transactions I was paying and authorizing them what's changed are you a collection agents? So you have a right to take my money yet you disconnected the service knowing it's recurring and you will still bill me why did you disconnected? People will see it as is. Why you didn't lodge a complain with the court that I am owing you than sneaking on my last pennies when I am sleeping. I want to check with consumer protection, you suspend the services you shouldn't have the right to my money. That's your own rule the courts must decide if it's fair. I struggled to but data then I must just pay R2600 just like that for what?

Services were suspended so I was being billed for what? Instead of focusing on fixing connectivity issues. If you dnt provide any service you don't get any money. I don't need any gesture I pay for my bills!, I am not at your mercy, serve your words please. You talk for your pay day because your company is *****ing from unsuspecting uers. I want us to finish this in court. I want the judge or commissioner to tell me yes Rain has the right to monies when services were suspended.
