Never recived such bad service before.

Vodacom looks to me as if its leading the forefront of bad customer service. In October and November I attempted changing banking details with Vodacom yet both months they debit my old account so I change to doing EFT's as I know that they are done. I later get issued with a R190 penalty due to debit orders, so I phone again and a case is opened, each time I phone I'm told its being dealt with by the back office so no feed back can be given, during this time I'm constantly phoned by an automated message demanding payment and my account been suspended all while I'm awaiting feed back on this issue, today finally a call center agent says there is still no progress so she will put me through to accounts where I'm faced to deal with the most arrogant person I have encounter over a phone call and further more having the phone put down on me. there is not an issue me paying the penalty more so a matter of principle. I have against my best judgment done the payment this morning just to get the account reactivated as i do have a few months left on this contact and do need this number until i get to port out to a more customer friendly network. \still receiving these automated demands.""";;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;174630;357;16;2;0;1;0;0;2;16/01/29 6:47;1030;NULL;16/01/27 15:13;16/01/28 13:37;BAD SERVICE;I***;;***;I visited vodacom three river the complaint is not against the Vodashop it's the customer care/accounts. The consultant Morgan spent 1-1/2 hours trying to sort out the mess. I app**** for router/wi-fi and was declined reason my account being 60days in arrears. My account has never been in arrears the 21 years i have had my number. I was told to phone myself and spent 2-1/4 hours waiting in the queue got through to the accounts eventually they could not help in accounts because my account was not overdue, after that i was transfered to 3 different extension including after sales service nobody is prepare to help me get to the right person declining me... ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;809262;748506;1;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/02/02 9:43;1029;NULL;15/01/28 18:15;15/01/28 16:34;MOST RUDE AND INADEQUATE STAFF EVER!! ;9,21E+12;Cliente Centre Consultant;***;I have never received this bad service from Capitec in 2 years time. I have I personal loan with the bank and started working for a new Company in December. I phoned them to inform them that my Debit order date will be changing because of the day my new salary will be paid over.I was informed that I must change it at a branch, I took off work and went to a branch, after all the trouble they are still sending me sms's informing me that my payment is late and the debit order did not go through. I phoned head office after several messages was send to me, and the most arrogant consultant ever spoke to me implying that I am lying and that I did not follow procedures AFTER I DID EXACTLY WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME AND EXPECTED of me. I am so discussed with the treatment I got, I will never make use of this bank again, and then they keep asking a person to move banks to them, but they treat a customer like this? So glad my loan is paid off in September this year because they really need to teach their call centre staff some manners. I have always just received good client service at the branches so how come the people at head office is so inadequate??????;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;277024;30;9;5;0;1;0;0;5;15/01/30 7:48;1029;NULL;15/01/29 10:14;15/01/29 14:39;Great Service from Auto & General;***;Mubeen Fortune;***;I had some lightning damage after a storm and I immediately phoned my insurer.

I Got there 19:40 because I work late, I went to go buy some beers and wine from their Tops section inside the store, when I got there at 19:40 I was refused entry, after a big fight with whom I believe to be the manager, I got access to the store, getting inside they refused to assist me at the tops section and I was told no there's wine at the back of the store I can only have some of them, angrily I went to go get ONLY wine when I actually went for wine AND beer. That aside when I went to checkout, I went to the cigarette kiosk as I decided I can get some cigarettes as I am here already, I stood there for about 5 minutes with the cashier starting to cash up while I am standing there and she has the audacity to tell me 'sorry but we are closed now'. I Almost threw my toys and they decided to assist me with a 'I don't give a ****' attitude. When all was eventually rang up she didn't have any change to give me seeing that she took all the money from the drawer to the back. When I eventually got the change owed to me, it was 20c short!;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;811092;768744;9;5;0;1;0;0;5;15/02/04 7:51;1029;NULL;14/12/04 3:18;15/02/02 14:42;Defending of my consumer right;7,60E+12;Fatima Valley-Omar ;***;I would like to thank Fatima for the exceptional service delivery and assistance in taking my matter further.

I bought a local simcard with 1gb and airtime of 275R from the shop at arrival hall at JNB. I was told that all was uploaded and I am set to go. 4 days later and without any warming, my airtime expired. I approached a random vodacomshop and found out my 1GB was not loaded and I surfed with the 275R. I asked over the phone to get my 275R back as balance for allowing me to call within SA and get what was originally the product I had bought, but the rude, horrible and very non services friendly manager blamed me for not reporting his mistake earlier and refuses to correct his mistake and give me the airtime back unless I buy new airtime balance from him.<br> This is disgraced!! How can I be put to blame on Vodacom mistakes?! How do you speak to customers?! How do you treat tourists?!! Why does the manager refuses to day he is sorry?!<br> I demand to be treated fairly and provide me the 275R back.<br> <br> P.s.<br> <br> I am still waiting for his manager to call me back!;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;807690;357;16;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/02/08 11:31;1029;NULL;15/02/06 20:10;15/02/06 18:22;poor response ;9,21E+12;;***;I wrote a complaint on vodacon and got a over poor response. The person only tried to phone me once to investigate my complain but did not get through or even leave a way for me to contact him/her. I gave an comment on my previous complaint but still no response the job number on the handset was ***6. The device was sent back to vodacom repairs east gate not repaired or replaced. It is still under warranty so I expect a new handset or I can keep on writing complaints its been days since my previous complaint and I have not received any feedback.

LAst week on Monday I faxed my completed chronic application form to *** and when I checked to confirm receipt, I was told there was nothing received. I again on the 11th of February sent it via email this time around to two email addresses: 1. chronicauths at gems.gov.za and 2. enquiries at gems.gov.za, after a few days I phoned to confirm receipt and I was told that GEMS have not received my application for chronic. I don't know why it is always a hassle to do anything with GEMS. they have fax numbers and email addresses but never receive anything with these available channels. I received two smses today, confirming receipt of my application forms but both quoted membership numbers that are not mine, the first one is:*** for dependant 01 and the second one is *** for dependant 00. I phoned again, twice today and spoke to Dimakatso, call ref no: UV219964/006 to find out why SMSes for other members are sent to my phone. I don't know why this is a hassle. can somebody please help me sort out this chronic medicine mess?

He had a blackberry and the n took a Samsung S4. He got the phone on the 18th or 19th of December 2014 and in mid January we received a bill for R2500 for data used. <br> The consultant that helped my husband never explained to him that the charges to his contract will change nor did my husband sign for anything.<br> We have been struggling to get a answer from the team at Garden Centre only to find out that the consultant has been fired. We would like to know what is going to happen regarding this amount as we are not going to pay. We have logged several calls and we have not received the service. We were also threatened that the phone will be blocked by the 27th of February if we don't pay this amount. My husband have been with vodacom for almost 2 years and never have he skipped a payment or had any problems but I must say that we are very disappointed in how this matter is being handled.<br> Hope to get a response to this matter soon.<br> <br> Regards <br> Magnolia Adams ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;81722;357;16;2;0;1;0;0;2;15/02/24 8:16;1029;5;15/02/23 16:48;15/02/23 15:07;Lying, *****ing and de*****ing with impunity;8,01E+12;Eltino Martin;***;Vodacom discards my unused minutes, instead of carrying it over to the next month.<br> Eltino is entirely unhelpful - <br> <br> In January, I was owed 8.2 hours of talk-time in unused minutes, but billed for out of bundle usage.

Again the same thing, *** transferred me to 082 11 and they then transferred me back to ***.

When I got to the ATM, I proceeded to insert my card to withdraw the required funds. No cash was ejected by the ATM and when I pressed cancel the card was swallowed by the machine. I asked my friend who had accompanied me to look for the number to call so that I could contact the bank and advise them of what had happened. As we did not have airtime at that moment, we drove a few metres to the garage to purchase airtime. Whilst we were at the garage, I got an sms notifying me that R4800 had been withdrawn and my transaction had only been for R200. We returned to the ATM, parked infront of it and proceeded to call Standard Bank. They advised they had stopped my card and advised that I should open a case for *****. I ran out of airtime and they called me back. They advised that they had opened a ***** case which would take about 6 days to investigate. Today 25th February, they contacted me and advised my claim for refund has been declined as I took too long to notify them. I find this unfair and unreasonable as I am blind and at the time I acted quickly.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ***;697219;810091;13;5;0;0;0;0;5;15/02/26 8:54;1029;NULL;15/02/25 17:34;15/02/25 15:45;FINALLY MY VEHICLE IS DELIVERED AFTER 3 MONTHS;848972;Lana;***;Today, I received my vehicle back from Reniew-It in Randburg after they were working on it, on and off, for 3 months.
