Their billing error that they expect me to pay for

At 8 pm on 30 May, my internet stopped working. Error message was ‘no internet’. I had cancelled another rain contract ( thru webafrica) that I had as of 1 June- so assumed that rain had mistakenly cancelled both my sims. For the next few days I had no internet. Instead of trying to reinstate my service, I regarded it as quite fortuitous as the service was awful. I could not stream a uTube video without buffering. I cut my losses and signed up with someone else. Almost 50 days pass by and suddenly I get a message from rain saying that I owe for June and July. Understand 2 things 1. My sim has not worked since 30 May and 2. They have a stop order on my credit card account. They have not processed the deduction on the 1st of the month as is their billing requirement. So- I have had no service from them for 2 months, THEY failed to do the deduction and now they want me to pay for a service I did not receive. Impossible to get hold of them, ( no email or phone numbers listed) no response to my message on their website, unable to find ANY way to CANCEL with them on their online portal- so I eventually FB message them. They confirm that my sim is blocked FOR NON PAYMENT- that they failed to take ( their error not mine) and say I need to give another month’s notice if I wish to cancel!!!! Cancel what? I have had no internet from you in 2 months because you failed to process my payments. Stay away fro RAIN. The internet is so unbelievably slow, you get billed for their mistakes & it is impossible to cancel. I was about to sign up for 5G with them. Be warned- DONT’T DO IT!

I have had another rain sim since jan 2018 through mweb. Please don’t tell me that I only had one. Yet another sign of incompetence and arrogance in your reply to me. I cancelled it because the speeds barely reached 5 and my daughter could not even do online school with it. You tell me that you will only cancel this card from end July yet have given me NO internet service since May and yet still expect me to pay. I am happy that I will not have to deal with rain again. I hope that others learn from my mistake. Steer clear people.
