How Am I ‘In Arrears’? Your System Clearly Needs Therapy.

I’m giving you one star only because there isn’t an option for zero. I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I submitted a claim for my phone, and it was declined on the basis that my account is allegedly in arrears. I have never missed a payment, so it is incredibly frustrating that I’m being made to visit the branch repeatedly. I’ve already been there twice, and it looks like I’ll have to keep going until this matter is resolved. To make things worse, the lady at the branch informed me that my account has supposedly been handed over to the legal department due to non‑payment. KANJANI?! This makes no sense because I have never defaulted, and your records should reflect that. I was also asked to provide a bank statement, even though your collections department should be able to verify this information on their side. Because of this poor service, I’ve had to go days without a phone. Travelling to your branch costs me money, yet I have never received a single call from your collections team about any missed payments. I have verified with my bank, and your debit orders have been going through.

Reviewer Update
Vodacom, your service is absolutely disappointing. I had to call in to sort out an issue with so‑called “arrears,” something your consultant should have resolved correctly from the start. I went to the branch today believing everything was fixed, only to find out my claim was still showing as declined. The consultant contacted the insurance department and was told it would take 30 minutes to resolve. It has now been three hours, and I still have no feedback or progress. I then called the insurance company, and I was told they are still working on I should call back after 3PM! Your service is truly terrible. Ending my contract with you was honestly the best decision I ever made in my entire life. What a horrible experience
