My monthly payment due is 28th, but come the said ay, my line keep on being suspended due to "no payment" then I do a manual payment sent the proof and then they activate my account, this is ongoing since november 2024, when I visit the branch in vredenburg i've been sending from pillar to post and the lady at customer services telephonically informed me once that the funds is accidentally paid into another person's account, and they rectified it, but still the same issue occurs, and then the tell me I have to pay extra penalty fees, I am frustrated as this is not getting out of hand and I am fearing that another double payment will be requested from me at the end of the month. I would appreciate if this can be sorted urgently

DSTV’s customer service could either use help or they are out to get you. If paying money doesn’t keep your service active and puts you in penalty fees, that means you are being scammed. Always ask for documentation stating the problem is solved, so you can avoid unnecessary charges. Challenge the bank if they try to charge you more and escalate the matter to the consumer protection service. If they are unable to manage such a basic billing matter, perhaps it is time to cut the service altogether.
