Rain not updating my payment, Rain call center is completely useless

I’d like to log a complaint about my rain account I paid my account on the 25th of February using a manual payment I logged into the app it showed me what my outstanding balance was I clicked on Capitec pay and then I made my payment on the 26th of February my account suspended due to non-payment so when I contacted the robot ask rain it told me to send my proof of payment to document *** which I did And then on the 27th my account was still suspended but the Internet services were on the 28th I called rain again to try and find out what was happening with my account but they said they can only send an email to the billing team and I cannot speak directly to the billing team trying to get them to update my proof of payment ,so I changed and then I changed my payment date to the 1st day of the month so that I can buy myself time for them to respond to me but then to my surprise they tried to debit w my account on the first and then the transaction didn’t go through due to insufficient funds so when I checked on my account it shows that I am now owing 2 months which I’m guessing it’s February and March but I don’t understand how I owe them march because that debit order for March is only supposed to go on the 1st of April so I called the CallCenter and they can’t help me my query has been with them from the 26th so it’s like four days the billing team hasn’t gotten back to me and every time I call the call CENTER they told me that they can’t assist me I have to wait for the billing team to contact me so since my account was reflecting that I owe two months I had to make a payment arrangement so that I can have Internet again so I paid 150 today so that my Internet services can be restored what I want to understand is how long does it take rain to call back customers so that they can sort out the account after sending the proof of payment and how do I owe them for March when you only on two or three days of March I’m supposed to pay for the services at the end of March not at the start of the month how do I owe them for a service I’m still using I don’t understand so it’s very frustrating that I have to go from pillar to post calling the call centre every day only for them to tell me that they cannot assist me and I need to go through to the billing team but they cannot connect me to the billing team they can’t put me directly through to the billing team they can’t even give me an email address for the billing team so I don’t understand why they have a contact centre because they are useless essentially there’s nothing they can help me with all they can tell me that the billing team must contact me but they never contact me it’s been days and days and days that I’m trying to sort this out so can somebody please contact me so that I can get my account updated and as soon as my account is updated I can cancel the services and seek Internet provider with way better Customer service than rain thank you

Hi , please help me understand when i will be contacted by a billing representative so that we can make this make sense … like i said i should only owe Feb because my payment isn’t reflecting … then if im billed on the 1 of the month my march payment should be due on the 1st of April , ive sent my POP countless times now …

The promise to pay arrangement i made was because it shows i owe two months and i had no internet access soi had to do something because i cant be without internet all day

I paid Jan and Feb … i dont owe you ppl i need this sorted i can’t be stuck with a bill i already paid please

Hi Rain ,

My account has been updated thank you , however the promise to pay is still active and shows i owe two months which we’ve established is not correct I would like for the promise to pay to be cancelled and the R150 that i have already paid to be credited to my account please and thank you

Good day

Im still getting countless irritating calls about the above query , i have since cancelled my contract but im told i owe 1577 …the collections people keep saying they someone from billing will phone to resolve but they don’t ..they keep trying to debit me and now i have bank charges …i dont even know if i guys are capable of resolving customer queries at this point …i need to get assistance so i can close this account and never deal with this company again please i only should owe u the month of june i can settle that because of the unresolved 988 promise to pay that needs to be credited
