Charging double VAT and refuse to correct it for 2 years

Overcharging my account for 2 years and charging double VAT. I have 2 accounts on my name, one for R449pm (incl VAT) and another for R279 (Incl) VAT. Every month I get an account where the mix add the 2 accounts together and break the figures down into a whole lot of random amounts that doesnt make sense and then they add VAT again on the total. R449 +R279 = R728. Easy maths. But they charge roughly R900 every month. I have phoned multiple times but they struggle to understand English and refuse to listen to me. Even the supervisor I've spoken to shouted me down on the phone and said I don't know what I'm talking about. I know this complaint won't even mean anything as they won't take it seriously.

Nothing was resolved! The agent phoned me and antagonized me by being rude and telling me to stop interrupting him when I asked that he please stop breaking down the items on the bill into descriptions I don't understand (as my original complaint). I asked for the bottom line figure and he was dismissive and rude to me again. At this point I lost my temper and cancelled my call with him. I refuse to speak to someone not trained in client liaison or complaints. One would think that after 2 years of complaints and escalations regarding this issue and this report on hellopeter they would at least contact me with someone trained in client relation s****s. When my contracts end with Vodacom I will make use of another service provider and convince everyone I know to do the same. This is not the Vodacom of ten years ago.
