Horrible Contract Cancellation process after upgrade has passed by over 3 years.

Horrible Contract Cancellation.

Hi all, I just want to share very poor experience at the hands of Vodacom. Firstly I took out a contract. I keep sending an email to cancel my contract as it has already passed upgrade time by over 2 years.

However, Vodacom does not respond and they keep handing over my name to law firms - I then settle the account and inform the attorneys plus Vodacom team to cancel.

3 months down the line I get a different law firm saying that I must pay the account as it has been handed over to them. I raise a complain that I have already requested to cancel the account and they then say I must settle to close the account, Which I did and expect cancellation.

Now its again another law firm coming with another email requesting me to pay because I have been handed over by Vodacom. Then I ask them if account is not closed they say account is still open at Vodacom.

So this tells me that all the emails and different attorneys are not actioning my cancellation requests for my account. Is this Vodacom way of milking me out the money because I am not even using the services as they have closed the modem and no more services.

I just want my name to be cleared because these is having a very negative to my profile.

Account Number - I***-9

I have all the proof of emails where I can share if needed, Vodacom is playing very dirty on me and I cannot allow these to continue. I am not gonna allow to be milked by Vodacom.

Struggling to close my account for the past 24 monthsI initially complained about Vodacom and now they have done it again, exactly what I complained about. Their cancellation department is very useless and does not answer their calls.

For the past 24 months I have been struggling to close my account.

When I pay and ask them to close my account they keep quiet and 3 months later I get notification that my name is listed. The lawyers who contacts me about my account after I made payment they vanish.

Then I will hear 3 months later from a different law firm saying Vodacom has handed me over I need to pay to close my account. After payment they vanish.

Last after my first complain on Hellopeter Vodacom contacted me and they asked me to pay outstanding amount , I paid it and they gave me a reference number that my account is closed.
Now its 3 months later I get notification that I have been handed over again by Vodacom. This is truly tiring and reputational damage

Account number: I**********-9
Cancellation Ref Number: 5-**********0873
Number in question: **********7

Anyone please watchout for Vodacom, this company is a very big ****mer.
