Settlement discount offered after making payment

Feb 2025 I received an sms stating a settlement discount to settle my account, which I paid as per the sms and telephonic conversation I had with the debt collectors. Never received my letter confirming settlement. Aug 2025 I receive the same settlement sms for a different amount and if add up the two amounts it is for the full amount of the account. Now I have to email proof of payment once again.

Vodacom needs to contact MBD and Consumer friends to sort out the account, I sent through the settlement letter from MBD to Consumer friend, now I being asked for a statement from MBD and after settling the account as agreed was informed there is still a balance due on the account. Keeping in my mind I am paying for a service I did not use but was still invoiced. Unlike other service providers to invoice a month to month contract month to month and block all service if no payment is received, and only charge for services used, as where Vodacom insist I had to pay for a service I was not using and struggled a full year to get cancelled. Now I have to struggle with debt collectors after settling my account .This is ridiculous.
