Suspend my DStv account
Please suspend bmy services call me on 083 951 1622
Good day, as a DSTV customer am unable to pay my account this month due to personal reasons, if u disconnect my service how much do I pay the following month for reconnecting.
Due to unforseen reasons I have no option to pay for my Dstv services this month of November 2020. I thus want to cancel…. only for the time being until i can reconnect again. Might be In December or January again. I have always been a faith and loyal client since 2014/2015 until this point in time. I have tried your customer care line, but it is not clear what i could hear from your operator. This is thus why i can only reply now on 1/11/2020. I have payed cash every single month on time since i have had Dstv services. Please check your records. Now i am requesting the above. I linked my Landlord and his connection fee is also covered in my monthly bill of R960. 00 at this going rate. His services will thus also be suspended until i reconnect. Please acknowledge my request and inform me per email, as to how you can and would assist me, untill i am back on my feet again. I am an ex-saps member and now a private investigator for the last plus minus 6 years, when i had my Dstv installed. Please also advise me as what channels i can still view for free, from what i could gather on the internet, – if that is still for my benefit, being a loyal client since 2014. The main reason at this point in time for the temporary “break” of being cut off, is also because of Covid-19, where my agents and myself could not perform our duties and thus clients were also put on hold. Thanking yoy in advance. I hope and plan to connect asap, again. Regards, Mr. Peter John McLeod. Cell no :- 079 989 0113.
