CONTRACT FULFILLED BUT DEBITS CONTINUE

Entered into a 2-year cellphone contract, expiring 31 October 2022. Conscious that cancelling cellphone contracts are generally a problem WITH MOST SERVICE PROVIDERS, I spent one hour at Vodacom Clearwater Mall on the phone to *** ensuring that my bank account would not be debited post 31 October 2022, opting to go the prepaid route as explained to the consultant. My bank account was debited with a further subscription for November!!! ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก I had my private banker reverse the charge. I recently received notice that December's subscription has been debited (approximately R100.00 MORE than the contract amount) which amount I will instruct my private banker to reverse! In trying to solve this ridiculous situation, I phoned Vodacom contracts number ***; the automated voice rep**** that this number was NOT FOR PREPAID CUSTOMERS! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… Vodacom are therefore admitting that the cellphone number in question is on a prepaid contact!!! If so, why then t8 continued debiting of my bank account?

The recent report detailing that 80% of Grade 1 children in SA cannot read with meaning refers. I think that some if these children work at Vodacom! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT VODACOM ARE NOW THREATENING TO HAND ME OVER IF I DO NOT PAY R829.27 (THIS FOR A CONTRACT THAT EXPIRED IN OCTOBER 2022 AND FOR WHICH VODACOM PREVIOUSLY APOLOGISED FOR ******* DEBTING OF MY BANK ACCOUNT)!!! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

MBD Attorneys are the designated "debt collectors" - I wonder if they have read the expired contract and are informed of Vodacom's previous apologies! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคฃ
