Bad Customer Service

It is my view that Vodacom has the worst customer service from all the mobile companies (and ISPs). I recently relocated from a premisis and asked for a Fibre relocation. Vodacom at first cancelled my order due to a "system glitch" (according to them) thus delaying my order by 2 weeks. Then said they'll replace the order but I have to wait 4 weeks for a relocation. THEN instead of doing a relocation, they sign me up for a new account and double-bill me. I lodge a dispute and it's now 3 weeks without feedback or resolution, no updates. When I phone customer care to follow-up, all they tell me is that they'll send an e-mail to the person assigned but won't CC me, nor give me a contact number to contact the person (or even department) dealing with my complaint in order to find out more detail than "pending". How am I supposed to have assurance that Vodacom gives a damn if I'm not even allowed to speak to the right people?

Meanwhile, you owe me a credit and no ETA on when this is going to be resolved. I'd advise steering clear of Vodacom if you have a choice.

The fact that you avoid giving me written feedback on my problem(s) indicated to me that you are trying to purposefully avoid a legal trail that I can take to ICASA. I must insist on e-mail communication, including a transcript of all telephonic calls made in regard to the SR (as well as the audio recordings).

The credit is the incorrect amount. The matter is closed without enquiry about satisfaction with the resolution. I have logged another ticket requiring escalation. Responses in e-mail please.
