Vodacom sent Yesterday at 8:51 AM

"Is your credit score clear? Also do you earn at least R3500 per month after deductions?"

You sent Yesterday at 8:56 AM

"Yes and yes. I have had two Vodacom contracts for the last 20 years, both of which have been paid up to date without fail."

Vodacom sent Yesterday at 9:15 AM

"Kindly note that you have been advised accordingly, you do not qualify for the deal you app**** for and our feedback remains the same."

-----------------------------------

I have never been treated this way. And by a company I have supported for 20 years. To be shut down mid-conversation after answering all your questions with no helpful response.

I am not aware of any credit issues and was simply seeking details on the failed credit check so that I might rectify the situation. I am happy to forward any necessary documentation to Vodacom or relevant third party for that purpose.

Instead am made to feel like worthless ****.
