Vodacom unable to assist with ********** account

In March of this year two debits were processed on my account from Vodacom for around R400. I immediately contacted my bank and got these reversed as I am not a Vodacom customer. I called Vodacom to find out what was happening and how I could stop the debits from going through. I was informed that there was an account in my name which had been opened in January. I asked the Vodacom agent to please close the account and stop all service on it. The Vodacom agent informed me I would need to submit an affidavit at a Vodacom shop, after that an investigation would happen and the matter would be sorted out. The next day I went to the Vodacom shop in Bedford Centre and submitted the documentation, which was sent to the ***** investigations team at Vodacom. This was on 12 March 2018. I heard nothing back from Vodacom until early May, when I started getting daily phone calls from a Vodacom call centre asking me to settle the account. I have explained to every call centre agent what is happening and have forwarded the email that was sent to the ***** investigations team with all the relevant information. In spite of this I am still being harassed by Vodacom to pay for an account that is not mine. I have done what they asked to resolve this, but they do not seem to be able to sort it out on their end.

Vodacom contacted me to try sort this out. I have forwarded the documentation I submitted on 12 March to them. The lady who is assisting me said she would try to have everything sorted by 1 June 2018. However, I am still getting phone calls and sms messages from them about this account
