Hi MTN,
(ref RCO167223/ #5702166/ 082 8989 377
I was scammed into an MTN contract for a laptop by a firm called Mondo. Once they had listened to the recording in December 2021, Mondo agreed to cancel the contract. On January 31st they fetched the laptop, (I took a snap of the DSV driver) but MTN is still wanting to charge me for it.
I have sent emails to MTN Customer Care three times, to Mondo three times, but there has been no satisfactory resolution.
And this month, March, I was no longer able to pay my cellphone contract account of R399 on line because the bank said that MTN had changed their banking details.
I eventually, at an MTN shop, managed to phone the MTN Contract Department and spoke to Zameme who agreed to cancel the contract.
But I have lost confidence in MTN and am now
trying to check that the Laptop contract for R399 a month has indeed been cancelled, because all I want is my cell phone contract which is also for R399.
It is almost impossible to deal with MTN because they don’t let you speak to anybody.
When I was unable to pay my regular monthly R399 on line this month, I tried to pay it at the MN shop, but they couldn’t make the card work, and wouldn’t accept cash!!
They gave me a new MTN banking number for ABSA 406 330 4150 and sent me to my bank where I was able to reinstate the Scheduled payment to MTN of R399 for cell phone 0828989377.
My email is patrici**””””””@gmail.com and I would be so grateful if you could affirm the cancellation of the Laptop contract. I only want the 0828989377 contract for the cell phone.
Please help me. Ir is now 4 months!!
