Staff incompetence and illiteracy

Due to staff incompetence and illiteracy I am now stuck paying double for my Contract!

I was told that the RED 1 Gig 100min Top Up package was being being discontinued and that I was being offered a RED 2 Gig 100min Top Up Package for a small amount more. I was very happy with this.

Apparently the idiot who called me did not see that I was paying a discounted rate on the 1 Gig package. The amount I am paying now on the 2 Gig package is WAY MORE than what was quoted on the call. She told me my payment will be X + increase , but I am now paying X + increase + discount I received previously.

I tried calling the Contracts Department 4 times, waiting more than 15 minutes. 3 times I was being helped, they get confused and them all of a sudden the call "drops" or they transfer me and the "drops".

I have been a client of Vodacom with 2 or more contracts at a time for more than 12 years, I think it's finally time to move to MTN.

More than 2 months later and my credit is still not processed. 10 calls to Vodacom and they finally "helped" me. Promised a credit for all the months I was upgraded and billed incorrectly (due to a error made by Vodacom) and to change my migration back to my original Contract. Still not processed after 2 weeks, after an agent told me the fix will take 2 days and a credit will appear in my account, and I will be invoiced correctly which will cause my account to be in credit and not have to pay for almost 2 months. it is almost time to pay AGAIN and last month my credit record got effected due to me not paying the "correct" amount. Fix this now. do not call me, do not contact me in any way. just listen to the recording and follow up with you agents. I do not have time for your *** service any more and will be cancelling as soon as possible. 12 years of being with Vodacom.... **** you.
