Vodacom BIlling

I am struggling to understand my bill with Vodacom. It changes every month and I have been sent from pillar to post trying to get answers. None of their consultants have been able to answer me let alone provide the same explanation. I am told about repo rates, tariff increases and vat (vat that was included in the quoted amount and thereafter the contract) is now excluded in invoices. no one knows what is going on and each consultant disagrees with the previous one and yet offers a completely different explanation. I have logged multiple calls, I am told I am being referred to the relevant department, then I receive an SMS saying my issue has been resolved. When I follow up, I do not get responses. I have been waiting since the 11 June 2023 for a call from two of the consultants who promised to get back to me. I was offered to reduce the benefits that come with the contract so as to maintain my bill. so in essence get less then the initial contract but pay the same amount. Even though the quote I received and accepted included VAT I am being charged VAT again. Vodacom has according to their consultant made unilateral changes to the contract.

It is taking Vodacom months to address my queries regarding my account. Yet again I am sent from pillar to post. Even though one consultant acknowledged that she cannot explain some of the amounts I am being charged for. Instead of resolving the situation Vodacom does not hesitate to debit amounts they cannot explain from my account. Its the beginning of yet another month but best believe, they will not miss the debit date.

Since March Vodacom has been getting back to me regarding my contract and the unaccounted amounts that they are billing me for. To this day I am awaiting a response, though their consultant acknowledged the error and escalated the issue weeks ago, my bill has not changed! They give you an invoice that’s vat inclusive and then charge you vat again when they bill you! No one can explain these charges.
