Vodacom - Biggest ****mers around!!

I wish there was a minus 5 star rating, long story short my account has now been put on hold with Vodacom due to my account being in "arrears", they say I have not made a payment in May for my account which is absolute *******!!!!!

I make payments religiously every month for my account and I have recently been making the payments via the app using my bank card because apparently it's a lot easier and hassle free. Now, because I have made the payment on the app using my bank card I cannot send a proof of payment because it is considered and online payment. I have now twice sent a copy of my bank statement showing that the amount was paid on 05/05/2024 to no avail.

This company is useless, after being with them for many years i have now decided to end all contracts once and for all with them.

5 days later, phone still locked, no further feedback from Vodacom. I will await the prescribed 14 days and then this issue will be escalated further to ombudsman / ICASA

I am really trying to be patient, but either people aren't doing their jobs or Vodacom just simply couldn't be bothered about their customers, line is still locked and no further feedback since yesterday

So, my line has now eventually been unlocked, I was told that the payment I had made in May was not allocated because the reference was incorrect. My question is, if I pay on the Vodapay app using my bank card, is this App not linked to my Vodacom account? I was not asked to enter a reference.

I see that I am still receiving emails and messages this morning stating that my account is in arrears, I will not close this ticket until somebody advises that the payment has been allocated and my account is up to date.

I have now been advised that Vodacom cannot pick up my payment (After saying that they had but the reference number was wrong) and having unlocked my line. I dont know how to explain this any clearer.....

I PAID MY ACCOUNT ON THE VODAPAY APP USING MY CARD, NO REFERENCE IS REQUESTED WHEN PAYING THIS WAY AS THE APP IS LINKED TO MY ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!

My account still shows that i am in arrears!
