Pointless warranty

My S7 phone's charging port has stopped working. Your warranty covers my phone for 24 months and accessories for 12 months. My phone is 11 months old. I've just heard back from your retail outlet and you want R6,300 to fix my phone! No mention of fixing/replacing the battery that overheats repeatedly either. Yet you do want to replace the motherboard (which is where I'm assuming the huge cost is coming from) due to the fact that the charging port is connected to the motherboard......there's nothing wrong with the motherboard! You guys are very quick to take our money but your warranty is clearly not worth the paper it's printed on! Either honour your warranty and fix my phone or send it back to me and I'll go straight to the ombudsmen.

Totally pointless to try and deal with Samsung. I'm now told that because I dropped my phone (due to it overheating), my warranty is now void. You guys are a joke. Not wasting another minute talking to you. Will be going straight to the ombudsmen. Loyal customer lost! This will be shared amongst as many people as possible.
