Very dissapointed customer subjected to blatant Vodacom thievery

I ordered a router on a Black Friday special and returned the device within the two week cooling off period, which is specified as obligation free on the contract, as I was not happy with the internet speed.

I have made several calls and logged more than one SR to have this contract cancelled. During my last call on 12/1/24 at 9h42 with P. Thamsanqa, he confirmed the courier advice showing that the device had been uplifted and was received on 29/12/23. I have now been debited for two months for a contract which I have legally opted out of. Each call to Vodacom to enquire why I am still being billed has been marked for escalation but after two months of excuses and passing me along from consultant to consultant, money is being taken off my account. I have done everything by the book and request that someone senior at Vodacom intervenes and sorts this out forthwith. It's been dragging on since Black Friday. SR***, SR***

I am now being hounded by Vodacom collections department for "outstanding debt". Today, 15 Feb 2023 Vodacom says they need to confirm the whereabouts of the returned device, yet the courier has provided the weighbill number and confirmed delivery two months ago. Every time I have to reverse a debit order there us a bank charge of R50, please get the accounts department to stop deducting money from my account until, you have sorted this mess
