VODACOM *****ULANT ACCOUNT - (PREPAID CUSTOMER) NEVER HAD A CELLPHONE CONTRACT!

I am Tashreeq Williams, a South African citizen with ID: ... On the 09 November 2024 I went onto Experian’s ClearScore platform to vet my Standard Bank Home Loan balance (for a personal cost exercise) only to discover a *****ulent Vodacom account (in default) attached to my credit profile. This comes on the backdrop of a telecom and follow-up email with a company known as VVM Debt collectors on the 30 January 2024, a call and email I’d initially identified as suspicious / SPAM. They requested an ID and 6 specimen signatures, something I did not feel comfortable submitting especially since the act of ***** originated under the watch of their so-called client. I submitted an affidavit confirming my stance with a sworn statement signed by myself. I’d immediately requested proof of the signed contract, a statement of account confirming all details, their CIPC details as well as details of their so-called client. I’ve yet to receive a response. To further expound I am a prepaid subscriber with TELKOM Mobile and have been for a number of years. I have never subscribed to a cellphone contract, nor short-term contracts, nor any insurance product with any mobile communications company (let alone Vodacom) and/or their subsidiaries / franchisees. I’ve no debt other than a Standard Bank Home Loan. My only current insurance product is my Home Owners insurance (an associated cost to my Home Loan). I’ve a credit profile I’ve worked very hard to keep clean and will not have my good name tarnished. It is extremely concerning, and disheartening, that a firm as large as Vodacom will have this sort of *****ulent activity slip through the cracks under their watch.
