Termination fee

Good afternoon

I would like to lodge a complaint against Webafrica for not crediting my account for the termination fee. I have sent them multiple screenshots of the chatbot conversation i had with Heinrch.M on chatbot where he credited my termination fee . And still they demand me to pay for this ! I have requested the chatbot conversations and they fail to share this with me . So i went back on my chats to get the proof where i was credited the termination fee .

Please assist as they are not helping me , the router has been collected and returned today so awaiting the outcome of this matter. Just so you know they have never told me about these cost and just keep on debiting my bank account with out my knowledge! This issue with them has been a huge struggle and they just take money as they please. I have the screenshots as proof where i was credited! Still Webafrica demands me to pay this and they are treating me to hand me over !! Like what the actual heck

I hope this finds you well

Router collection has been booked

The courier service will make contact

Once the router has returned, then billing for it R999.00 will be removed from the invoice

Kindly pay the balance to avoid the account being handed over and more fees being charged

Ok this was an email i sent to complaints department ther are actually multiple but please pull all records i dont know why every time i must explain the situation over and over


You guys seem to amaze me everyday!!! Again you debit my account after everything was resolved paid and cancelled! Lets just go back from the beginning…….1. I requested a home move 2 months in advance . This was never done when I moved in. It took you over a month to try and get me connected.2. Got connected for a few days and got disconnected . According to Vuma, you cancel my line as a cost of living . Remember you canceled my line so why must i be liable for paying cancellation fees !!!! 3. On your chat bot all chats are there where i was credited but still you send me a huge bill of services that i did not receive ( i paid this and was told everything is paid and resolved and my line is cancelled)4.I cancelled my debit as you have no right to charge me for cancellation as you cancelled my line with out my knowledge and my request!! And you did not arrange collection of your free router that i still have and dont use ! 5. Again you turned my line off at Vuma so i never had internet . And now you charge me and debit my account with out my knowledge and any communication after 2 months you guys are ****ming people put of there hard earned money!
So eventually i spoke to the person below who advised me the that i dont have to pay the cancellation fee !

*Heinrich M.*: Thank you for your patience. I will process the cancellation for effect 01 Jan 2026.

*Heinrich M.*: I have completed the cancellation for effect on 01 Jan 2026. We will also credit your termination fee.

So sending this to complaints and numerous people they just keep on telling me i must pay the fee ! I was a customer for over 5 years and never had any issues with your company and feel sorry that your team managed to handle my case in such a bad manner! Everything is on record chats ect and no one seems to do there reckon about my case or even want to resolve this ! I feel that with my chat i had i was credited this cancellation fee and have the proof so why is it so difficult to sort this out !
Your company staff does not want to take responsibility or the time to sort my account and i am fed up . This is on going and feel that how many people gets this treatment and money taken from them and the keep on threatening me for the outstanding amount that i dont even owe !

Hi Stefan,  we completely understand how frustrating this must be, being debited again and having to deal with reversal charges is understandably upsetting, especially when you’ve already returned your device. We’ve received feedback from our Finance team that, in order for the credit to be processed, proof of collection for the returned device will need to be provided. Once this is received, the credit can be app**** to your account. We appreciate your patience and understanding while this is resolved, and we’re here to assist if you need guidance on submitting the proof of collection. Warm regards,
