I went in to pay my account via EFT as I have always done and noted that the subscription had suddenly increased by R 130 per month.
When I called in yesterday 6 November 2024 at 5pm, the consultant told me my current contract had expired. (They acknowledged no notification had been sent to me). A new contract would be loaded today 7th November 2024 and I could then make payment.
I called at 15h11 today - 7th November and the consultant left me hanging on the line for 20 minutes. I phoned again and was told I had to sign a debit order first.
I have always paid on time via EFT and I do not wish to sign a debit order. Had a debit order been in place, Multichoice would've deducted the incorrect amount automatically. From reviews I see this is a regular occurrence.
I have lodged complaints via their helpdesk too and get no response.
Multichoice DSTV will probably lose a paying customer that they had since inception due to bad service.
Urgent response due from Multichoice as my payment is due today

Desired outcome: New contract gets loaded as agreed to yesterday and I continue paying via EFT
