Cancellation penalty

I should have known from the beginning when I took app**** for this contract and was told I have a previous contract on my name that made me not qualify but then was escalated to various departments with me following up simply because they wernt sticking to their SLA.

Now I wanna to cancel the contract prematurely because I am still not happy with the service,I can't initiate and accept a debit order mandate for them not to debit meaning I have to transfer,what was the purpose of the debit order???

It's been 3 weeks since I first called to get a premature cancellation penalty and till today nothing,the lady that day said there is no amount and she would escalate to backend for them to fix and send me a email with the amount,Monday I receive an email and excited that I would finally be out of misery I get the same thing,settlement amount is R0 then I called and was told its a mistake and that my contract does not show a start and end date gosh,,what do I do with backend information that's not useful to me when I only want a settlement amount.....story short,even today after speaking to 3 different people it's still R0 and I have not received help

And I was excited and happy regarding the help I got until October 2023 when I received draft summons and when I called into collections I was told they will look into it and that the system might not have updated the cancellation and obviously they did not call back.

During the black friday stupid me decided to give vodacom a chance and apply for the home router package but the sales rep told me my account was with pre-legal and I tried calling the subscriber collections but it kept saying it can't locate my account obviously because the account has been cancelled but well that's what I thought.

Things get worse,last week mbd *********** collections call me and tell me my account has been handed over,mind you I have plans of applying for a loan early next year because I have a project and because I work for a financial institution I am fully aware if what happens when 1 does not commit to a obligation so I wouldn't let R400 ruin my plans but it did,thanks to vodacom.

I paid and mbd because they were doing their job obviously and concluded that I will take it up with vodacom.

From that day on vodacom was a network that never existed and I Will make sure everyone knows about my experience, this company is feeding off our sorrows
