Vodacom Misrepresentation (Overcharging)

In May 2018 I took out an upgrade with Vodacom online. All seemed well until I received my first bill and noticed that the debit amount was incorrect. Since then I have made countless calls to vodacom. I have lost count with the number of times this matter has been “escalated” and “sent to back office”. Each time I am told that the debit amount will be corrected and the additional billing will be reversed but each month I am still overcharged.

I even have confirmation in writing from Vodacom that the amount I am being billed is incorrect but this still has not been resolved.

I hope that once Vodacom sees this they will rectify the situation otherwise I plan on taking this matter further legally.

So apart from the Auto-reply from Vodacom above, no one has contacted me over this matter. Why am I not surprised...

There was a missed call at 7:30pm on my phone last night from Vodacom. That’s the only time you guys ever called. That’s not much of an effort.

Besides, there’s nothing to discuss. 1. The premium I was quoted and the premium I am currently paying is not the same. This is misrepresentation 2. This has been going on for months.

I spoke to the Call Centre on Saturday that sold me the contract. They advised that a manager would call me back on Monday but they have not done so.

Update: I received a call yesterday from a guy from Vodacom who firstly, did not even understand my complaint at all and secondly, is trying to tell me that because I was being debited the incorrect amount from the first debit that the debit amount is correct. It’s been 8 months now and I’ve been querying this issue from the first month. I’ve really had it with Vodacom.
