Refund request complaint for Rain Internet service provider.

I have a complaint against rain Internet service provide. I made an order for their rain simcard thinking that I will get best Internet service speed but as times goes on I realized that their Internet connection is very slow and takes long to download apps and other stuff. I decided to cancel my simcard as I am aware that its not a contract simcard its a prepaid service. I was so surprised this year when they deducted R1600,37. They claim my account has got errors which is I do not understand this is prepaid simcard not contract. I have been trying to get hold of their contact center but I haven't received any assistance. I have been requesting for them to process a refund for me but nothing at all. Can you kindly please advise what kind of service is this that we getting from Rain Internet service provider...Please see below their emails:

Hi Rain

Rain cancellation was request long time ago as the service was not used and I have lost my rain simcard years ago.

The request was communicated with your contact center and I even received a call from one of your agent to confirm the reason for cancellation. Please see below communication we had before your service provider billed me up to R1600,37. I need my refunds before I take this matter further to legal actions. As far as I know I cannot be billed for the service that I did not used and the service its not a contract when I made an order for rain simcard.

Take a look below conversation I had for service cancellation with one of your agent years ago yet I was still billed for these year up to R1600,37.

Okay so if the service was never cancelled why my bill kept increasing yet I did attempt cancellation of the service and my request was received.

An attempt again was made as my rain simcard got lost and the agent was informed telephonically communication at rain contact center.

I did attempt to contact the Rain center on ***, I was on hold for hours and no one ever attempted to even call me back. Ever since then since I informed them to suspend the service, I never followed up to check if the cancellation was made successful until my bill was up till this much errors and this was not communicated to me that my bill was increasing this much due to that cancellation was not successful. Yes I did attempt to call to process cancellation but no help was provided instead my bill just increased for the service I have never used for past 2 years.

Can you please advise what is the way forward in this situation when I was charged for something I have lost and the service was never used. Am I going to receive my refunds for those months as I lost my money????

Please come up with resolution please?
