Rocketeer robbing consumers

Dear and Rocket Net,

I trust this message finds you in good health. I am writing to address a pressing matter concerning an online transaction, with the hope that your esteemed institutions can provide a timely resolution. In light of the sensitive nature of this issue, certain transaction details will be omitted for privacy.

On July 7, 2023, I submitted an online application for Rocket Net's WiFi service with the intention of becoming a valued client. Unfortunately, my experience since then has been marred by a series of disappointments and frustrations. Despite initiating the process with the correct amount of R825 from my account, I now find myself entangled in a perplexing situation. Rocket Net insists that an additional payment is required, citing a lack of confirmation for my initial transaction. This inexplicable demand has left me feeling both uneasy and disheartened, as I firmly believe I have met my financial obligation. And that I would rather just cancel and ask for my money back.

I've engaged with your customer service teams on a few occasions, specifically on July 24 and July 27, and after that under reference number ***2. On both interactions, I was advised of processing delays and assured that my case would receive the necessary attention for swift resolution. I also had a lengthy conversation with your accounts department, However, the passage of time has only compounded my concerns. It has been over 60 days since the initial transaction, during which time my money has been held without any communication from your finance department.

It's important to stress that my primary aim has always been to have this issue rectified. I expressed my preference for a refund over a phone call, emphasizing the urgency of the matter. Regrettably, despite my clear communication, it appears that my concerns have not been taken seriously. This lack of responsiveness has left me feeling unheard and undervalued as a consumer.

My dissatisfaction extends to the broader experience with Rocket Net's customer service, tarnishing my perception of their professionalism. The challenge in confirming a payment made in good faith on July 7, 2023, for an amount of R825 that was not owed in the first place is deeply disheartening. As a conscientious consumer, I am not only surprised but profoundly disappointed by this situation.

In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, the persistence of this issue is perplexing. It has created unnecessary delays and inconveniences for all parties involved. Regrettably, this incident has eroded my trust in Rocket Net, a sentiment I never anticipated. I feel compelled to share my disappointment with my peers and acquaintances, urging them to reconsider their engagement with your services.

As a last resort, I am contemplating raising my concerns on social media platforms, hoping to receive a response that reflects the urgency of the situation. I remain committed to finding a resolution to this matter and restoring my faith in Rocket Net.

Good day Dorianne

Upon investigating we see that our accounts department has requested a proof of payment as this is what our protocols require, you have only managed to submit a statement which will unfortunately not suffice and this has been explained to you. kindly provide the necessary proof of payment. We do apologize for the frustration experienced someone will be in touch to discuss the way forward. 

kind Regards 
The RocketNet Team 

Best regards,
