Vodacom reoccurring data bundles slapped onto my account

I am coming to the end of my cellphone contract and this month I am billed for a 30Day reoccurring 30 data bundle for February and another reoccurring 30 data bundle for March so a total of R166.72 added to my bill.

I called on the 13 March to cancel the reoccurring 30 day bundle which by the way I DID NOT PURCHASE. My history should show that I do not buy reoccurring services at all why would I if my contract is a Uchoose flexi contract so that do not get billed end of the month for any additional services.

The once-off 30 day option is what I select every month and not reoccurring. It is the 16 March and Vodacom technical department have not been in contact with me. I am in a Software Support role we have to troubleshoot any mistakes made to our customers accounts so why is Vodacom not doing the same?

I am in the process of upgrading but definitely having second thoughts after this mess being billed for something I have not purchased and this is not the first time the same thing happens with WhatsApp data bundles.

Reviewer Update
In July 2022 the reoccurring data was again added to my bill. I do not know what to do with Vodacom. I called to have it removed it is not part of August statement however I am to scared to make purchase via the USSD in fear of reoccurrence being added automatically.

It is very simple it's once-off or reoccurrence and I am definitely not selecting reoccurrence. This is not cool at all.
