VODACOM ******* insurance

I took in the phone that I bought for my son for repairs. I later after 2 weeks received a call that the device was brought back by the insurance as the phone was not taken in for repairs within 45 days from the day the device stopped working. I stay at work and stay away from home and I was only available to take the phone in when I'm home with the knowledge that the phone will be fixed without any hassles as I have the insurance .

I called in to explain that I was not aware of such information pertaining the 45 days as I was offered that insurance telephonically. I then asked for the recording of the conversation between me and the agent who called me to offer me the insurance to verify if such Ts&cS were read to me as I did not receive any insurance policy documents after our conversation with that agent.

I've been taken from pillar to post for 2 weeks now with no wayforward only to be told today by call centre agent called Tiisetso that she has escalated the matter to the supervisor who in turn told her that there is no recording conversations available for the insurance contract as I went in some store to do the cellphone insurance contract. I need the insurance company to explain the date and the name of the store where the supervisor claims I took the insunrance from?

I did not even call the insurance company to get the contract, the insurance agent called me to offer the product which I accepted. As a result I'm unaware of the claim that has been made by the supervisor that I took the insurance in store, hence the recording is unavailable. For the record I did not even apply for my contract phone instore.I app**** and it was approved online.

I request that my device be fixed orI should atleast get back my premiums that I have paid this far. I would also like to put on record that due to the treatment and the experience that I've received I doubt that my family will ever use vodacom services going forward.

I've been calling daily and never got assistance from all your 5 call center agents Ernest, Mmathapelo, Nhlanhla, Tiisetso and Mikateko

Reviewer Update
My complaint has been reported to your company from the 16th August . we are in September now , how long does it take to resolve a straight forward query like this one. I now have to fight tooth and nail everyday to get feedback and status update about my matter, you are the most abusive service provider that I have ever came across. I wish I had read reviews about you before considering taking your contract. I'm everyday upon me doing a follow to wait.. what are your turn around times to investigate and give the recording of the conversation that I had with your consultant who made me take the insurance for the phone
