Billing Complaint – Incorrect Charges and Missing Discounts - Never ending issues

On 30 March, I ordered services and paid the R249 order processing fee the same day. I received the first router, which failed to set up and was confirmed faulty. On 15 April, I received a replacement router and returned the previous one, but the second router also failed to set up until I escalated the matter with a formal complaint and requested cancellation.

On 20 April, your retention consultant *Irshad M.* stated: "I can give you a discount for waiting and you can ask for downtime credits once it's working" (Ref ***9). On 21 April, after the service was fixed, your second retention consultant *Keenan L.* confirmed: "Thoko I'm really sorry to hear that but I can confirm that the discount was requested and will be added by our admin team within the next 24/48 hours" (Ref ***5).

Despite these assurances, today, 24 April, my bill reflects neither the promised 50% discount nor the agreed correction. Instead, it includes a hardware charge of R329 dated 15 April, listed as Hardware Delivery Fee Reference I***. This charge is unjustified, as the first router was faulty and replaced at your instruction. Furthermore, the retention team’s discount offer has not been honoured.

I am requesting immediate correction of my billing: - Removal of the R329 hardware charge (Hardware Delivery Fee Reference I***). - Application of the promised 50% discount to my bill.

Account Number: W***

This situation undermines the trust established during retention discussions. I expect prompt resolution and confirmation that my account has been corrected accordingly.

Sincerely, Thoko Kgobe

 Hi Thoko, Thank you for laying this out so clearly. We can absolutely understand why this situation feels frustrating, especially after the effort you’ve put in and the commitments that were made to you. You’ve had to deal with faulty hardware, delays in getting connected, and then follow up on agreed billing adjustments; that’s a lot to carry, and we hear you. The expectations set during your interactions with our Retentions team should be honoured, and we appreciate you highlighting where this has not yet been reflected in your account. We’ve taken action on this and have arranged for our Retentions team to review your full profile, including the hardware charge and the previously approved discount. They will verify the details, ensure the necessary corrections are app****, and get in touch with you directly via email or call to confirm the outcome and the steps taken to resolve this. We’re committed to making this right for you and restoring your confidence in us. Thank you for your patience while we work through this with the urgency it deserves. 

Warm regards,
