Monthly ********** deductions from my account

Since September 2013, Vodacom SP has been deducting money from my account with a total to date of R2948.22. I had an account with them but this was an additional amount deducted on a separate line. I made them aware of this and they confirmed this was ********** activity. I have had to spend countless hours on the phone, been handed around from one person to the next with no conclusion.<br> <br> I went as far as to cancel my account with them, yet these deductions keep happening. This confirms it was in no way actually linked or a valid charge.<br> <br> Month after month I have tried to get them to stop the debit order which they have confirmed should not be happening. I have had to have affidavits signed by the police, bank statements signed by the police and each time I engaged with them, had to provide the whole story again despite them being able to see what they are talking from me<br> <br> I am not able to get hold of a name or telephone number of who should assist me. I just get told this is with the forensic department and someone will get back to me.<br> <br> I need a refund and for them to cancel the debit order. Two simple things, considering they have admitted fault and that it should not be happening

Hi, It has been two months since I was told I would have a resolution. I have been called by two different representatives from different departments both stating that they would assist as a matter of urgency to arrange a refund and stop the debit order coming off my account, as they agree this is a fault and should not be happening. I have still had a further two amounts taken off my account since. Both people I spoke to asked me to explain the full story again, which I do not understand as I have lost count of the amount of people I have spoken with who have assured me that it would be rectified. I need this money to be refunded to me, and the debit order to be stopped or else I will have to consider legal action.

It has been over three years now that money gets taken from my account monthly. Vodacom has confirmed numerous times that this is ********** activity and that these debits will be stopped and I will be refunded. This is yet to happen.

I arranged for my bank to prevent the debit orders but this was not sucessful. On the 1st September 2016 a further R115.49 was taken. (REF: VODACOM ********** 173 I372006)

I need an answer from someone who can stop this from happening, and refund my the money stollen from my account.

I do not know what more I can do to stop this theft!!!

Please could someone at Vodacom actually DO something about this.
