BILLING/RIP OFF

Dear DSTV,

Last month I deactivated my extra view and paid R365 for the compact package, the my services we disconnected. I called and it was reactivated. Then it was disconnected again and told I am owing for pro rata on both decoders, again my service was reconnected.

Please look into this considering that I had to call on both occasions using my airtime and decided to cut my losses as no one was willing to assist me.

How do I get charged pro-rata on something I paid for in full????????? How much is the pro -rata on the family package. As it sits now 3 reconnection fees of R50 raised on my account. How possible is this?????

Please fix this urgently as this is just a rip off. Please advise on the below should you NOT be able to assist with this.

1. Where or how I can get rid of my decoder and Dish.
2. How do I stop receiving Sms's and E-mails?

You really need to look at your service before you lose your clients to Streaming and Downloads.

Please forward to the relevant department should this not be for your attention. Hoping to get a response by Wednesday before I voice out my complaint on Hello Peter.

Cancellation of Glow tv

As paying customers we are requesting that you bring back Glow tv. You will eventually suffer a loss if you decide to ignore... i am on a premium package for over 5 years and i refuse to let dstv force me to watch what they want me to watch. All viewer of Glow tv should cancel dstv and watch it on ovhd considering ovhd is free... viewers,speak to your family and friends about disconnecting your dstv, they cannot do as they please and expect us to accept. We pay them. They dont pay us.

Retards

whoever is choosing what programsmovies and channels should be displayed is a total retard.
That is why I have downgraded from premium to family. I don't think I missed anything. Its not value for money.

dissappointed in service

I would like to complain about the GLOW channel being taken off from DSTV, I enjoyed the Indian soapies on the channel and just when it got interesting the channel was closed by DSTV.

DSTV should have atleast taken into account the number of viewers the channel has before closing it.

A lot of members will move over to other competitors who still have the GLOW channel

WE PAYING FOR REPEATS

@DStv TIME TO STEP UP. There’s nothing good on TV. All we get to watch is repeats, repeats and repeats. High School Musical 2 and 3, Back to the Future 1, 2 and 3...LIKE REALLY. NO MORE GLOWTV!!! You refer us to Zee World and ebella, which shows crap. Bring back GLOWTV which is more entertaining. Your series channels are a joke and dont get me started on ur Movie Channels. Of late i have been watching more on Etv channels. You’ve increased your subscription fees so what exactly are we paying for ???

Content

Music channels 327, 326, 325, 322,321,320 only play Africa music which is annoying because there are 4 music channels dedictated for local music already TRACE URBAN SHOULD BE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC ONLY OR PLAY LESS LOCAL MUSIC.

Incompitent stuff

I called in on the 7th I spoke to a thabiso, I informed him that I now get paid on the 25th instead of the 7th he confirmed twice that I didnt have to any amount on the 7th then in the 25th I will pay the prorata and the montly subscription, on the 15th I reaceived an sms that my connection is being disconnected, when I called in I spoke to a supervisor by the name of nthabiseng she asured me that because this was a fault on multichoice side they will reconnect my service but the system might disconnect me again, if it does she advised me to just call and asked to be recognected again as she will leave comprehensive notes in my account, now 3 days later I have been cut off and I called in I got through to a Lebogang, she was so rude and incompetent, told me with an attitute that there no notes in my account.

Multichoice staff is so incompetent, the service is disgusting to say the least.

Unresolved account

In September 2017 I Paid up my account, i then continued to pay my monthly subscription. Up todate, my account has not be resolved from Multichoices side. I'm being told i still owe over 2000 rand. i cant understand how they got to that amount it i squared the account on the amount they gave me in September. i have spoken to a number of consultants and have sang the same song every two days(system turns off my dstv) for the last 7 months.

I am so fed up with this rubbish. I have sent a number of people every single proof of payment i have made.
HOW DO I SORT THIS OUT??????

I'm also so tired of the repeats on dstv, is it really worth having dstv?

apply for acc

ek doen dit in afr want ek is nou keel vol gesukkel en betaal en dit in eng en dan kry j geen antw nie so dalk in my eie taal sal dit lewe kry...

ons het januarie die 19de aandsoek gedoen vir 79 en die price lock vir 959. ons het met gesukkel die een box van 79 gekry maar nie die ander een nie. toe begin ons bel en die een na die ander kan nie help nie hulle dra geen kennis nie. so na baie oproepe word daar gevra vir n nuwe rekening oop maak wat gedoen is en daar is nog steeds niks aan dit gedoen nie.

Payment

I payed my account on the 23rd of February 2018, the amount I payed was R960.00.
Just to get an sms stating that I must pay n futher R525.00 to stay connected for the month of March 2018.

This is really Ridiculous, why must I pay extra to view for the month of March.
When I called the call center the lady was so rude and was full of excuses still my DSTV was suspended today 08/03/2018.

If more of us can just stand Together and not pay for a whole month I am sure we will get better service.

Please note that I did call and notify DSTV (Multichoice) that I would not be able to pay my subscrition for the month of February2018 and will only make a payment on the 23rd of February 2018 and then only my service can be reconnected.
Now again I must pay I wonder who needs a bonus.

Very bad service from such a big world wide company.
I am sure there will come nothing of my complaint

Account Harassment

Please will you people stop phoning me regarding my account!! I cancelled my subscription with you in September 2017.

And yet your incompetent staff keep on phoning, giving missed calls, hanging up when i answer or hanging up after i tell the caller i have cancelled.

This is super unprofessional!!!

Your staff also needs attention, maybe give them proper training or try to hire competent staff!! Staff members that can actually work with the public, staff members that can actually do their job because they get paid to it and staff that can update records and systems correctly.

I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the person of highest capacity should this harassment continue.

multichoice

Multichoice contacted me several times for a free explora decoder. They promised me there will be no increase in my monthly payment. Now suddenly there is an increase of R200-00. There is no way to reach multichoice by phone. I want an explanation from them.
