Vodacom Bad Debt **** with Hammond Pole

After 16 years with Vodacom I cancelled my contract. What a nightmare, instead of cancelling it they renewed it, the hours I spent sorting that out. At the same time I cancelled my 3G card, it was an airtime only option no device. I was told I needed to pay a penalty to cancel, regardless of the **** they had just put me through. I paid 5 months subscription as the penalty.

Since then I am bombarded with emails, whatsapps and sms's from Hammond Pole telling me I owe Vodacom R3-4k , the consequence of not paying will be a bad mark on my credit record. I keep telling them to go back to Vodacom and check the facts, luckily my phone and email have block sender.

After 16 years as a Vodacom customer to be treated like this just reminds me that I made the right decision to make providers.
