7 Different feedback from 3 different departments - UTTER USELESS!!!!!!

Logging this complaint on behalf of my Wife. Received an SMS stating I'm due for an upgrade. Went to the iStore to upgrade, when the sales assistant loaded the upgrade no quote was generated. They contacted the Vodacom call center and was advised to log a service request to get finance loaded on the account. Request was loaded, we where advised that it takes 24 to 48 hours for the request to be completed. Went to the Vodacom store, they confirmed that the request was loaded and definitely withing 24 hours this issue will be sorted. Request was loaded on Wednesday, it is now Friday. Phoned vodacom for an update, 1st callcenter agent phoned back and advise within 4 hours the services request will be completed. Phoned 5 hours later, call center put me through to accounting, accounting put me through to the retention department. The retention department can only see the status of the request, cannot provide any useful information. Only to be told the SLA is 7-14 working days. Can someone please do their job!!! You are quick to phone when you need something from the subscriber, but when the subscriber needs something from the service provider, you get 7 different stories and it takes forever! How can there not be any finance available on my profile if I'm currently paying for a device for 2 years and have the cleanest profile as per Vodacom/iStore and the call center. How can I finance a phone 2 years ago, not miss one payment but there is no finance available??? Please can someone do their job, that is what us subscribers are paying for. This is ridiculous!!! I want to actually give you more money but you seem to not want it, good business model!!!

This query HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS YOU CLAIM ABOVE!!!! Yes I was contacted by a lady from the Vodacom HelloPeter department and was advised that my issue has been resolved. THIS IS UTTER NONSENSE, we went to do the upgrade but still no quotes are being pulled through. We contacted *** and Dineo advised that the service request is still open and have no idea where the HelloPeter lady got her info from, I doubt that she even knows what she was talking about. Dineo advised that someone, we are not allowed to speak to this someone, is busy with the request (seems like they need a week to do one thing) and it will take 1-4 hours to provide an answer. It is now 6pm and no word from Vodacom!! We also have not received a message to state that the service request has been resolved. HOW CAN YOU PROVIDE SUCH USELESS AND RIDICULOUSLY UN-ACCURATE INFORMATION? I require the call recording (call started at 08:49, lasted for 58 seconds) where the lady advised that the request has been sorted, and we can go ahead and do the preferred upgrade of our choosing. This information will be provided to the consumer act as I was **** to and miss-informed by various departments on various occasions, especially the Vodacom HelloPeter lady that blatantly **** to me just to resolve a complaint. Give me a call so that I can provide the mail address to send the recording to.
