Formal Complaint - Unclear WiFi Payments and Package Charges

Hi Hello Peter, I would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding my account and the way my query is currently being handled.

When I signed up, I specifically signed up for the R275 package. I was then told that the payment I initially made was for activation and not installation, and that the funds would be moved to the correct department.

I was subsequently scheduled for installation and was instructed to pay R429, which I paid. The WiFi was then installed.

Yesterday, I also made a payment of R253, but I am still unclear about how all my previous payments have been allocated and what I am actually being charged for.

I am currently speaking to an agent, Pule, but I do not feel that my query is being properly addressed. I have explained the situation, but the response I am receiving is simply that the package starts from R429, along with a screenshot. This does not answer my questions regarding the payments I have already made.

I am not disputing what the package currently costs. My concern is understanding where my original R275 payment went, why I was originally signed up for/quoted the R275 package, why I was later asked to pay R429 for installation, and how the R253 payment I made yesterday has been allocated to my account.

Please can someone from the relevant department investigate my account and provide me with a full breakdown of all payments made, what each payment was allocated towards, the package I am currently on, and what my correct monthly payment should be going forward.

I have already made the payments requested from me, and I simply want a clear explanation of where the money has gone and why the amounts keep changing.

I would appreciate this being properly investigated and resolved rather than receiving a general response stating that packages start from R429.

Hi Dakalo,  we understand your concern regarding the different amounts you were asked to pay and the need for a clear breakdown of how your payments have been allocated to your account.
We can see that you’ve already spoken with one of our consultants regarding this query, and the matter has since been escalated to our Billing Team for further assistance. The team will review the payments made, how they were allocated, and the package and billing details on your account to provide clarity on the amounts charged.
We appreciate you taking the time to clearly explain your concerns and giving us the opportunity to have the matter reviewed.
Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Reviewer Update
Hi, thank you for the response.
I appreciate that the matter has been escalated to the Billing Team, but honestly, I am not sure whether I can rely on this escalation, based on my previous experience with your support.
I have already submitted three reviews/queries regarding Webafrica, and the communication throughout this process has been frustrating. I have not received clear and consistent communication, and even when I try to explain the issue, I feel that the responses do not address all the questions I have raised.
My main concern now is: How will I be contacted once the Billing Team has completed their investigation?
Will someone call me, email me, or contact me via WhatsApp? I ask because, based on my experience so far, I have not received a call, email, or WhatsApp communication providing proper feedback on my queries.
I do not want this to simply be marked as "escalated" and then receive no further communication. I need someone to actually come back to me with a clear explanation and a breakdown of my payments.
To be completely honest, this entire experience has been extremely frustrating, and I am beginning to regret becoming a Webafrica customer. I expected much better communication and customer service, especially when I am trying to resolve a billing issue.
Please confirm how and when I can expect feedback from the Billing Team, and ensure that the person handling the matter addresses all the concerns I have raised rather than only explaining the current package price.
Thank you.
