Inept service

I am HIGHLY angered by the rude service I received from a VVM Collections consultant

It started with her continuously interrupting me, while I was trying to get my query/question across, when I BLEW up and she 'allowed' me to finish what I was asking she then responded with 'Oh Are you finished'. I then greeted and ended the call It is unacceptable that this is the treatment that your customers receive

I cancelled my contract in September and paid the amount I was told to pay. Then on the 9th October I received an account for R8.64. My husband answered a call yesterday on his personal number (and thought that they were calling about his account, the amount owed was R273 which they then proceeded to set up a debit order for OFF MY BANK ACCOUNT - I did not authorise this as I know that his vodacom account is in the region of R900 and is debited every month from his bank account and I 100% thought this could be a **** and therefore did not authorise) This morning on receipt of a sms (to his number), I looked into the account number and saw that it was for the aforementioned cancelled contract.

Can someone explain to me HOW in less than a month a R8.64 account is now R273 and WHY was it handed over to a debt collector

ALSO, I have tried contacting via call centre but because the number is no longer on your system, its impossible

Thanks to Fergie from the Vodacom Hello Peter Dept the account issue is understood and resolved. Thank you!

As for the lady that I found rude, I've been in service for 30 years. I understand that working in service can be frustrating. I also know/think that you work off of scripts. I hate to be put into situations where I lose my temper, no one deserves it, which I also tried to convey to you. However, you need to deal with clients better.
