Disappointed in Vodacom

Firstly my debit order does not go off, and I call the Customer Care line (135) to be put through to an Accounts department, who does not answer calls. I get disconnected and Vodacom calls back and no-one can tell me why the debit order didn't go through. I go to a Vodacom shop after the call is done, only to be told that maybe I shouldn't make the payment and rather call Accounts. Okay, so by this time I'm really not happy as Vodacom gives people over fairly quickly (and I don't need that now). Today I tried calling both 135 and *** about 10 times each, and it doesn't even ring!!! I'm really not happy as I just want to pay something that should've been deducted from my account in the first place...

Tried to avoid being given over to debt collectors and bad ITC report, and therefore made own eft payment yesterday after calling the customer care line (had NO contact from Vodacom after receiving their reply).

Since I made a payment and again tried calling the Accounts department, no-one has attempted to email or call me. My balance has been amended and now an added amount! I am fuming but will not be one of those people who shout at others over the phone!!! Next step...Complaints department I guess...

Still no call, no, instead, I KEEP CALLING THEM. This already ticks me off. Since this post I've called Accounts department - keeps disconnecting and saying "call ended" before it's even rung; I've made an EFT payment only to be penalised TWICE now for account being an arrears; I've gotten through to Accounts only to basically be told that I need to prove I had money in the account and made the payment, oh, and they cannot do anything about the penalty!!! I refuse to pay something that I am not responsible for, tried to fix (even though not my mess) and feel like I need to start invoicing for my wasted time! Very unhappy and disappointed.
