MTN have got to be the worst bunch I have ever dealt with! I'm about to take them to ICASA over recurring subscriptions MONTHS after the cancellation of my contract...
Read this, I posted it on hellopeter...
>>My Complaint:
I had an MTN data contract. I cancelled it at their canal walk branch well before the end of the contract. I got written, signed confirmation of this.
MTN carried on billing me for this contract. I phoned their slow call centre to complain and I was put on to a "retention" person who said that she would sort it out, stop the billing and refund my ****** money.
So far I haven't seen my money (it has been over three weeks), nor have I had a reply to any of my three emails asking when I will get a refund.
The call reference is Ref 108801700
The contact person's email is moloko_p at mtn coza
>>Their acknowledgement of receipt:

>>Their inaction:
Utterly Disgusted: Stop giving me cut and paste standard responses and fix your rubbish!
Not only have you not bothered doing anything about it but you ***** another R149 from my account yesterday.
Your service is appalling, bordering on criminal. If my money is not returned in full within 5 working days from now I shall lay a complaint with ICASA and proceed with small claims court action to recover my money as well as the expenses associated with with the recovery.
Get to it.

>>Further to this I logged a call with their fraud department, after all ripping someone's cash off is fraud:
What is happening with this case:
MTN has refunded about R60 of the R447 owing... fraudsters!
I have attached proof of contract cancellation.
This email serves as the final reminder in terms of the ICASA complaints procedure before referring this matter to ICASA for action.
I have pasted in my records from www.hellopeter.com together with your acknowledgement of receipt of the complaint below.
