DStv subscribers get shock Disney+ bill

[ToxicBunny]

Eish multichoice just never be able to fix their fscked up billing issues.

 

[BBSA]

People do business with the devil and are shocked that they get screwed....

 

[BouncyNinja]

same, i complained about a week ago when i saw my bill was higher, was told it was all resolved, but the higher amount was still debited

They claim a sms was sent out (no sms) that it was free for 3 months, and then we had to opt OUT

scummy move...

( i have a dstv account for my parents, its easier for old folk)

well this is a sign to unsubscribe from this utter garage company - and to tell them to finally f#(k off - why anyone really sticks with them is a mystery to me - you can have up to 9 streaming services on a TV box for the price you pay for these twats to f#(k you around ..... though the conundrum is the sports packages but even now most sports are now becoming freely available on streaming services and fairly reliable ie better than not having at all - but also way better than having these guys trying to take your pants off to screw you around

you wont get cycling or golf or any sports like that on streaming but most of those are like watching paint dry so i would never do back to DSTV just for those - while soccer and cricket are fairly easily available - and the bigger rugby occasions too

Also got robbed.

Also got robbed.

I checked my statement, it just has a none descriptive subscription fee as well, it doesn't actually say what the sub is for..........also check emails now to see, if there was any confirmation that I have added the sub, nada, fokolly, they essentially added this crap without permission and without informing me........hope these MOFOS get sued, and technically you can take them to small claims court for unauthorized debits......They will need to present verbal or written proof I agreed to this sub......

Victim of the same Disney plus fraud. Bastards.

 

[A Third Force]

Complained on FB and they will credit me back next month. Nice cash flow for Multichoice for December bonuses. I will now take steps to cancel the debit order and pay them myself.

 

[Sundancer]

Was also affected and they've put through the reversal for next month but also wondering about this nice interest-free loan they've taken from their customers.

Dstv is Expensive

I use the Seas. Do not have any subscriptions, payments or South African business scams to worry about.

But then you can't Netflix and chill with your SO or side dish.

Nah, believe me, modern day chicks are not worth a Netflix sub, not even mentioning paying it through DSTV. Older generation? Yes. New generation lazies? Not a chance in hell.

 

[Vorastra]

Yup, saw the charge. Demanded by money back. The lady at the Glass House said they've had a lot of angry customers do the same thing.

DSTV getting rather desperate

Opt out marketing is technically illegal AFAIK.

Opt out marketing is technically illegal AFAIK.

I believe so as well, might be wrong, DSTV Cash Flow must need serious lifting, if DSTV is getting itself interest free loans like this ...

 

[Nephew_]

Also got this
Was about to report it here on the forums and then saw the article.
Why the hell can they not do a mass update to fix it? Because they are sneaky and hope a lot of subs will not notice it.

 

[Solitude]

Contacted my dad now to find out if they've been charged too.

I think a lot of people don't check their debit orders so DSTV hopes they will get some extra money with many people not noticing.

Hopefully this will lead to even more cancellations.
