VODACOM FAILED TO CANCEL MY CONTRACT AND THEY SENT IT TO COLLECTIONS WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE

My contract ended November 2019. I called Vodacom to cancel in December 2019. They said my account was on their old system and one of their consultants/Agents will call me back, they never did. I called again in February 2020 to cancel my contract, the lady I spoke to cancelled and confirmed that my account is cancelled and said I will have to pay for March. March 2020 Vodacom debited my account. April 2020, Vodacom debits again, I reversed the debit as I know my account has been cancelled. May 2020 Vodacom didn't debit, I figured they realized that my account was cancelled and that they debited by mistake. They haven't debit since then. No communication from Vodacom since that time. Comes March 2021, I receive and sms from Vodacom collections that I owe them???. To my shock, I call Vodacom that my account was cancelled last year Feb 2020. Vodacom collections said I should log a cancellation dispute with Vodacom. I did that, Vodacom say my account has been sent to collections therefore they don't have full access to my account but they have sent an email to administratiOn to log a complaint regarding failure to cancel my account last year. They said administratiOn will call me within 3 to 7 days, they didn't call me. I followed up , still no assistance, they said they will follow up with AdministratiOn and administratiOn should call me and I should give it a day or two. Still Vodacom didn't call me back. I don't know how to resolve this as my name will be tarnished because Vodacom failed to cancel my contract when I called in Feb 2020. They told me that administratiOn will listen to the recordings on the days I called to cancel my account and they will call me back. It's April now and I have been waiting... this makes me very upset. I am not happy with Vodacom customer service.

May I please have a letter confirming that I no longer owe Vodacom and Vodacom to acknowledging that the mistake was on their side. I need this letter to clear my name on Transunion. As my account was taken to collections without my knowledge and now this appears on my credit record.

Hi
My name is still not cleared with Transunion- credit bereau. I have called VODACOM so many times for a clearance letter but still No assistance.

I need to apply for a home loan and I can't even do that because of VODACOM's mistake of billing me when I have already cancelled my contract and taking my account to collections without my knowledge- all of that has been cleared with Vodacom but Transunion still reflects that I owe VODACOM.

I am unhappy with the service during this process. It has been stressful and unsatisfactory.

VODACOM Please clear my name...and provide me with a clearance letter.

VODACOM Acc no. I***

Thanks
