Vodacom opens *****ulent accounts

Vodacom opens *****ulent accounts and then makes it the my problem. There was an enquiry on my credit record from Vodacom on the 10th April. I phoned Vodacom to assist with this. First I get told they can't check because I don't know the cell number. Then they use my ID number. The lady said she can see something but basically refused to tell me what it is. Now I need to run around and print documents, scan them, email them and then hope Vodacom actually does something about it. Then I get told it takes 7 to 14 working days for them to sort it out. So in short Vodacom opens an account without verifying any documents within a few minutes, but it takes 2 to 3 weeks for them to investigate.

So now a week later and I have no idea what is happening. Instead of the ***** department dealing with the issue, I get an email saying they sent it to the sales department.

On the line with the call center for 15 minutes now. The consultant doesn't seem to have a clue what to do and sounds like there is no interest whatsoever.

After spending more than an hour on the phone, I go to Vodacom at The Glen to make sure that the account is actually cosed and guess what? Still open. Don't know which way to go with this company anymore.
