Contract cancelled yet branch says I have a 2 year contract I am obligated to.

<p>Century City Vodacom: I was? on a month 2 month, continued from Topup M costing me R338/monthly. This did not give me enough data, so I went in to upgrade-5th of the month.I was told I will pay R479,and get 1gb data,plus other stuff(not currently the focus of this post).Later in the month, before contract becomes active,beginning next month.28th I went in to cancel the contract and my month to month. I specifically told the agent I was going to another ISP.I completed documentation.I was told it takes 30 days.I accepted that.The 4th of the new month I get an SMS welcoming me to my new upgraded account. CANCELLATIONS phone agent told me to go to the branch, which I did.The manager was astounded that I dared to change my mind. It was very important for hime to tell me they processed the contract on the 5th, so this somehow means it is binding or what. In my opinion, that is not the case, if I canceelled before the activation date started. Thus I am claiming my right to be freed from a contract that I should be bound by,since I cancelled. To be fair, the manager has said he will send in the docs to head office for "processing", and a decision will be made, which I will be notified about. This decision can only go one way, according to how I believe contracts work, so I expect to be able to write here soon, that my problem is sorted.</p> <p><br />While this is hopefully in process as I write this, I still have posted the story, to ensure that it does in fact, happen, and completes to my satisfaction.</p>
