FALSE SUMMONS ISSUED TO MY COMPANY
GOOD DAY WITHOUT PREJUDICE
1. I had 2 Vodacom accounts – see all correspondence attached with letters of cancellations of all nrs as they have reached termination dates and confirmed by Vodacom 2. My nr *** was on Amitascape **** with the account nr B***** and the date of expiry was 16 April 2022 3. The agreement was to terminate when the nr expire and move the line to a pre-paid. 4. Also a debit order was loaded on the same bank account as PMA Marketing for account B***** so that we can close the Amitascape bank account in 2021 so there was no arrears on this account.
As per attachment in June 2022 I have app**** for a new contract with Alexis Pillay and there was a problem, delay in activating the sim card. I had the phone for two weeks but the line was still on pre-paid. Eventually sorted out.
Today I received a letter from Vodacom collections department for a summon claiming I owe more than R18 891.99 on the account nr. B**** - They claim I did a transfer of ownership and not a cancellation thus the reason for the bill of R18 891.99 - How can you terminate a contract which reached its expiry date in April 2022, move over to pre-paid and then when you take out a complete new contract as per this email below be held liable for a transfer of ownership or cancellation if the contract reached it’s expiry date and also if it was on pre-paid.
I operate several businesses and if this issue is going to effect my credit rating in any way and cause harm to my business I will keep Vodacom liable for loss of income and also possible loss of business opportunities that we are busy buying over.
Get this rectified asap please. I have called and being transferred from 6x different nrs today and not even the business department or the collections department which nr appears on the letter is able to assist.
I demand you resolve this issue immediately before it causes harm to my credit rating and my business entities.

And don't even reply we don't like the tone of your voice or swearing as YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THIS FRUSTRATION!
Is this how you get customers hooked and let them struggle and hang out to dry with no feedback or assistance?
Incompetency from Vodacom and all related to this issue.
