Debit orders for no service

I have not been a Vodacom customer for years. On 2023/11/17 my account was debited with reference number VODACOM *** I*** On 2024/01/02 my account was debited with reference number VODACOM *** I*** I checked with Nedbank and they confirmed that Vodacom gave these debit order instructions. Since I am not a Vodacom customer there is apparently no way for me to get hold of anybody to help me, since every communication channel requires a Vodacom number up front and calling the call center will cost me an arm and a leg in call fees that Vodacom will obviously never reimburse. Please get someone in your accounts / finance department to call me and resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Reviewer Update
Good day,

  • Thank you for your responses so far, but I think some Vodacom departments have not been informed.
  • Debt collectors phoned me yesterday, but I was not willing to provide my ID and therefore they would not inform me which company asked them to contact me.
  • Today I received an SMS: "pay a minimum of R121.66 by 31 Jan 2024 on your Vodacom account to avoid a negative credit listing. VVM Debt Collectors."
  • Please attend to this as soon as possible, since you notified me two weeks ago that the account has been cancelled.
  • I have also never received a single account or follow up call regarding outstanding payments from Vodacom, so I don't know how you can be so quick to hand me over to debt collectors!

Regards,
