Exploiting the elderly and unauthorised upgrades

I’m utterly disgusted by this network provider’s services. I don’t know what’s worse, hiring *********** staff who don’t know how to do their job or letting employees manipulate the elderly into taking unwanted products. For months my mom has been paying for data services she has been trying to cancel since feb 2024. She got a call around January were an agent tried selling a new product to her to which she blatantly refused explaining that she is retired now however agent decided to go against my mom’s wishes and upgraded her package, fine she let it be. Now bills are ranging from R150 to +-R700 randomly on a monthly basis with no explanation given to her. Everytime Vodacom fails to debit from her account on the agreed date, even though there is money available, they charge her penalty fees for their own negligence. The store employees are just useless they couldn’t even explain their own account statement to us. There is absolutely nothing more we want from Vodacom except to cancel this stupid contract. Account is I***.

Reviewer Update
Good day

Thank you for the assistance so far. I have received the emails but there’s still a discrepancy in the accounts statement. My mom pays R156,02 and then she was charged R100.88 for penalty however there is a R191,01 that appears to be an unauthorised upgrade that I clearly stated my mom never wanted so can it please be removed and the correct contract amount be added so that we can pay and have the contract finally terminated. Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.
