APPALLING SERVICE FROM VIDACOM

APPALLING SERVICE

I received a sales call from Vodacom, and was sold a package that consisted of a 5GB/month data contract, plus a Mecer Notebook. I was concerned that the Notebook may be too low spec for my needs, but the salesman assured me that (1) he would message me the details, and (2) I could cancel within 14 days for a full refund.

I went ahead, and have been trying for almost 2 years to get my money back.

When I received the package, I decided that the Mecer notebook was *******, so called to cancel the package. Vodacom arranged to have the package collected.

Unfortunately, Covid struck, so Vodacom was not able to collect the package until almost 6 month later, which they finally did through RAM couriers.

I have literally called them about 15 times, spend hours waiting, had so many promises that they would get the contract cancelled, and refunded, but each time ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. I get told the same thing repeatedly. This has been going on for over a year.

Yet I'm still paying over R400 per month for a laptop and package that I don't have.

I find the response very disappointing, especially as I've logged this issue more than 10 (TEN) times through various channels.

Suffice to say, I've NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE SINCE YOUR MESSAGE.

UTTER *******. I have still not had a refund, and am still being billed for this package.

Do I have to start calling in again...and again....and again, and waste even more of my time.

WHY OH WHY IS THIS SO HARD for you guys to get right.

THIS IS STILL UNRESOLVED.

On my May statement I am still paying for the package, for number ***.
R355.65 per month.

Please arrange for this to be cancelled, and credited.
