Remote metering services need to be held accountable!

I am absolutely sick and tired of RMS. I have had to pay unexpected amounts of up to almost R4000 in mysterious “back billing”. Whenever I try and contact someone regarding these astronomical amounts put onto my wallet balance they can never give me an answer. They are all either absolutely useless or they’re playing dumb to cover up the fact that they are falsely back billing. I am charged R150 A DAY for water and electricity and am constantly having to top up. When the amount I top up is never reflected on the wallet balance because they take 6% of any amount deposited. I have phoned multiple times a day to try and speak to a manager and she is never available. The worst company I have ever delbt with. ABSOLUTELY USELESS!!!!

Good day Savannah,

We are sorry for the frustration and concern this matter has caused.
Based on our records, we cannot identify a charge of R150 per day on your account. Your wallet is registered for SMS balance notifications; when the wallet has a negative balance, the system sends daily reminders to top up. These messages are balance reminders and do not represent a new charge being added each day.
Your account also receives a 10% consumption rebate. Actual daily consumption may vary, and electricity usage often increases during colder months due to the greater use of heating, hot water and other electrical appliances.
We understand that the back-billing adjustments and allocation of your top-up payments require further explanation. Our team will contact you directly to provide a detailed breakdown of the meter readings, applicable tariffs, consumption rebate, billing periods and wallet transactions.

Kind regards
The ismrt! Team
