Vodacom sucks - legal action pending

I called the call centre in July to cancel a cell contract which was coming to an end at the end of July - I was instructed to do this by a vodashop. There are call recordings to back this up. I got an sms confirming it had been logged but that I must wait for confirmation which I never got. In August I received another invoice so I repeated the same process again. There are call recordings to back this up. I got an sms confirming it had been logged but that I must wait for confirmation which I never got. So in October I repeated the same process again but this time with the accounts department as opposed to the cancellations department. I was once again assured that everything had been attended to, that a credit was being processed and at this time I got an email confirming this. Now 2 weeks later, my fibre was suspended due to amount outstanding on my cell contract, my credit score has been negatively impacted and the stress this has caused due to me not being able to work due to no fibre has been ridiculous. I had to pay the amount outstanding - WHICH WAS NOT OWING BY ME AS I HAD CANCELLED THE LINE - and I am now considering legal action. Such a pity as Vodacom staff have been amazing - but the admin nightmare is untenable....

Ok so this has not been resolved! The credit IS NOT reflecting on my account and it seems as if I have been billed for an additional month as I went into a Vodacom store to check it and this is the info they gave me. I wanted to move my cell contract to Vodacom from Cell C and the lady at the Vodacom store said its not even worth trying as the record on the account that we are talking about here reflects an overdue amount, AND the payment I made is not reflecting anywhere on the system! Also, this account has affected my credit score adversely - you guys need to fix this! Fix it or face legal action - I am not threatening here - just informing you that I have the resources at my disposal to do this and I can tell you now its going to cost Vodacom a lot more than a measly R400!
