Poor customer service

<p>Between the 9th August and the 13th August Vodacom system deducted 500MB of data from my previous data cycle (expires 31/08/2016). Highlighted in bold italics below balance enquiries, while the current data cycle only dropped 193MB and still had 422MB available (expires 30/09/2016). </p> <p> </p> <p>9th August 2016</p> <p>You are on a Smart L package. You have 181m33s Talk Time until 30/09/2016; ; 491 SMS's until 30/09/2016; 447 SMS's until 31/08/2016; <em>615.93 MB until 30/09/2016; <strong>1000.00 MB until 31/08/2016</strong></em>; 499.80 MB Night Owl until 31/08/2016</p> <p>13th August 2016</p> <p>You are on a Smart L package. You have 161m34s Talk Time until 30/09/2016; ; 490 SMS's until 30/09/2016; 447 SMS's until 31/08/2016; <em>422.04 MB until 30/09/2016; <strong>500.00 MB until 31/08/2016</strong></em>; 487.69 MB Night Owl until 31/08/2016t 2016</p> <p> </p> <p>After several calls to the call centre with no resolution I logged an issue on the Vodacom app (ref 003S~SCR4, also no real response), I then went into a service centre and again with no joy logged another issue (ref 1- ********** 4599) This reference was closed today with the below comment.</p> <p> </p> <p>22 August 2016</p> <p>Dear customer, as per your ref 1- ********** 4599, an investigation has been completed and your billing was found to be completely correct and accurate. To see which apps used your data, go to Settings - Data Usage (change usage cycle to display a specific day). Alternatively you can install ?My Data Manager? to help you identify programs using your data. Have a pleasant day further!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This explanation is a total copout of doing proper analysis and feedback on what is the real cause of the problem. I do not accept this explanation and would appreciate if someone could explain to me how an app can use previous cycle data when there was still existing data available. </strong></p> <p> </p>

What is the definition of "in due course"? is it one day, two days, two weeks? #justasking
