Complaint Regarding Vodacom Contract Extension and Incorrect Billing
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding my Vodacom contract and the unfair billing I have recently experienced.
I signed a 36-month contract with Vodacom, which was supposed to end at the end of March 2026. Throughout the entire contract period, I never missed or skipped any payments and consistently paid the agreed monthly amount of R333.
On 4 May 2026, I contacted Vodacom to enquire why I was still receiving airtime and data after my contract period had ended. I was informed by the consultant that my contract was still active because I had not cancelled it. I was further advised that a Vodacom consultant was supposed to contact me before the end of the contract to confirm whether I wanted to continue or terminate the agreement. However, I never received any communication, call, email, or notification from Vodacom regarding this matter.
To make matters worse, Vodacom debited higher amounts from my account after the contract period:
April 2026: R367.93 May 2026: R374.13
I reversed the May debit order because I do not agree with these charges. Yesterday, I also received an SMS stating that I owe Vodacom R700, which I strongly dispute.
I find this situation unacceptable and unfair. I fulfilled my contractual obligations for the full 36 months, and I should not be penalised because Vodacom failed to communicate with me regarding the continuation of the contract.
I kindly request the following:
Immediate cancellation of the contract/services. Reversal of any charges app**** after March 2026. Removal of the alleged outstanding balance of R700. Written confirmation that this matter has been resolved and that my credit profile will not be negatively affected.
I am extremely disappointed with the poor communication and handling of this matter and trust that Vodacom will resolve this issue urgently.
Kind regards,
Thank you for making us aware of your complaint.
