Vodacom and it's Vodafone Live unauthorised debits.

I am not sure if Vodacom is arrogant, useless, or shady... I started noticing a huge phone bill that basically doubled in one month. On closer inspection, I saw an item labelled "Vodafone Live". I was charged over a thousand rand for that line item only. I phoned customer care, the consultant said it's what you get when you download games on the internet. I DON'T PLAY GAMES!!!! THIS IS A WORK PHONE. I don't have time for games. She promised it will be sorted out. After that I started receiving sms's from companies that I've never heard of advising me of cancellation of subscriptions. She also said when debiting my account at month end it'll be minus the ********** amount of Vodafone Live. On my follow up today, nothing was done. Today I was told that my matter has not even been assigned to anyone. What annoyed me even more is that the Vodafone Live nonsense is still carrying on this month, and it is already at R1200.00...what nonsense!!! I'm told that after the cancellation I subscribed to new ones....UTTER *******!!!!

I've been too loyal to Vodacom, unfortunately that makes them view me like a stupid dog, hence the treatment they give me. For the first time since 1997, I shall part ways. This means cancellation of all contracts. Change is as good as a holiday.

Hi Renzo Unfortunately what you're saying here is not true. My bank account has just been debited with the huge amount that includes that ********** VLive amount of R1 218.78 including vat. Are you making a fool of me? Furthermore, there are two more amounts, R71.87 ex vat in my December statement, and R304.17 ex vat in my January 2018 statement. Which one exactly did you refund????????? As if that's not enough, my usage to date as per your Vodacom app shows an amount over R1142.88. What nonsense is this. How can you apologise for the inconvenience while you're still causing more of it. I AM INSTRUCTING MY BANK TO REVERSE THE DEBITS. I WILL MANUALLY PAY WHAT I GENUINELY OWE YOU FOR ALL THE MONTHS OF ********** AMOUNTS. I'm doing that first thing in the morning. Regards Nkossie

Should you wish to block and or terminate my contract; you're more than welcome. Your team has already given me the quote, and I'll pay all the cancellation amounts, excluding any ********** amounts billed on my account. So, just say the word and I will happily oblige.
