Vodacom cancel wrong contract and is not willing to correct their mistake

<p>Hi</p> <p> </p> <p>I have 3 packages(numbers) on my account at Vodacom. My main contract, a Data contract and my wife's prepaid package.</p> <p>The Data Contract has expired on 3 July 2016. I have phoned the Cancellation department on 27 June 2016 to cancel this Data contract.</p> <p>The consultant assured me that he has cancelled the data contract. The phone call was recorded on 27 Jun 2016 11h00. </p> <p>On 4 July I realised my main contract was cancelled. I phoned the cancelling department and the consultant confirmed that the previous consultant made a mistake by cancelling the wrong number. This call was also recorded on 4 July 2016 12H01. He assured me that he will correct this within 7 days working days. </p> <p>7 working days passed and still not corrected. I went to a local vodacom shop and the consultant could not help me. All he did was to sent out an email to someone and said he has escalated the issue.</p> <p>2 Days after that I drove all the way to Vodaworld in Jhb. Sat in a queue for 2 hours only to be told by the consultant that he can't do anything. What he did do was to escalate the issue and promise me that it will be resolved within 7 working days.</p> <p>Today is 9 working days and still the issue isn't fix nor did I receive any feedback.</p> <p>My account is charged over R11 000 because of this early cancellation mistake made by Vodacom. I have to buy my data and airtime as pre paid this month and Vodacom is UNWILLING/INCOMPENTENT to fix this.</p> <p> </p> <p>Please Vodacom, do something to fix this or is the only solution for you guys to ignore this and let me pay the R11 000?</p> <p>I should not pay a cent for this mistake made by Vodacom. Please don't charge me initiation fees etc. when one day someone who is willing to help me re-instate my contract. Actually Vodacom should reimburse me for the prepaid airtime and data I had to buy this month.</p>

The Vodacom debit order took R11 854 out of my account today.

I will not have enough money to buy food for my family this month. I'm so frustrated.

I don't know what is worse: The fact that Vodacom made a mistake and they charge me R11 000+ for it or that they are unwilling/incompentent to correct this.

Now I am in a crisis because of their mess and they don't care.

EVERYBODY PLEASE READ CAREFULLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU HAVE CONTRACT AT VODACOM. THEY MAKE MISTAKES AND YOU HAVE TO PAY HEAVILY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES. RATHER CONSIDER ANOTHER MOBILE PROVIDER.

Please Vodacom, correct this mistake made by one of your employees. Why should I pay for your mistakes?
WHY DO YOU IGNORE ME? WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE?
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE, PLEASE CONTACT ME AND TELL ME WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO CORRECT THIS SO THAT I CAN TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS.

This is 2 August 2016 and nothing has been done.
