I have to pay two full contract rental fees for one handset???

<p>I have had a handset contract for the last 18 years. I have upgraded before the 24-month period was over 9 times. I upgraded my handset contract in January as Vodacom notified me that I am due for an upgrade. In February I received my invoice and the bill was as per the usual with nothing out of the ordinary. In March I got my invoice and I was billed for two contracts! The full amount for both! When enquiring I was told that I had to complete payment for the previous contract until the period was over including the cost of my new contract. This is the first time this has ever happened to me and this was not disclosed to me at the time of the renewal of my contract as I would have never agreed to this. This is ********* and not in line with the consumer act. I expect this to be sorted out. </p>
