Still Overcharged After Downgrading – No WiFi!

Title: Overcharged After Downgrade + WiFi Disconnected with No Help

Review: I downgraded my Rain plan from R920 to R625 last month, and support confirmed this. Yet I’ve been wrongly charged R920 again, my WiFi is cut off, and my router says “check account.”

I’ve logged ticket #***2 and even received a response saying my account is in good standing, but the service is still disconnected and there’s been no proper update. I rely on WiFi for school, and it’s unacceptable that I’ve gone this long without help.

Please urgently fix the billing, reactivate my service, and respond via email or SMS since I’m at school during the day.

Hi Rain,
I’ve sent my details privately. Please make sure that you cancel only the old 4G SIM (the one that switches off at night).

We are no longer using it and it should have been cancelled already.

Please do not cancel our current SIM/router — we still use that one.

Waiting for confirmation.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Rain,

It’s now the second day since you told me the matter was escalated and that someone would contact me — but I still haven’t received any call, SMS, or email regarding the refund to my mom’s bank account.

This delay is very disappointing, especially considering the overcharge was not our fault. We've followed all steps on our side, and all we're asking for is clear communication and the refund of around R885 to the bank account — not as credit.

Please treat this as a priority and respond with:

Confirmation that the refund will be paid into the bank account

The timeline for when this will happen

Who exactly will be contacting us and how


Waiting another day without a response is not acceptable. Please escalate this to someone who can resolve it today.

Hi Rain,

I’m following up regarding my refund and downgrade issue. It’s been several days since I was told feedback from your relevant department was pending, but I haven’t received any update.

Please urgently confirm:

When the R295 refund will reflect in the bank account

If the R625 is being used to cover July’s subscription

Whether billing from August will be deducted from the linked bank account again


This issue has been going on for too long, and I really need clarity. Please assist urgently.

Hi Rain,

Thank you for your response. However, this issue has been going on for over a week with no proper resolution.

Please prioritise this matter and provide a clear update — including:

When exactly the R295 refund will reflect

Confirmation that the R625 has been app**** to July’s subscription

That billing from August will be deducted from the bank account normally


We need closure on this matter. Kindly treat this as urgent.

Hi Rain,

This is now Day 11 with no clear resolution. You keep repeating the same message — "we’ll provide feedback" — but there’s no actual progress.

This refund and billing issue has caused serious inconvenience. We’ve been more than patient.Please escalate this urgently and provide a detailed, final response.
