Vodacom ********* business practice

On Friday 12 Feb I was playing vodacom daily shake and accidently tapped the purchase 10gig button instead of exiting. I immediately contacted vodacom spoke with Ayanda client services whom told me that vodacom normally do not reverse purchases but as a good will gesture and being my first time vodacom will credit my account. I followed this up with an email to *********** and recieved a response from Kelly May (customercare) stating vodacom will not reverse the purchase AND their records show I have already used the data. This is an absolute lie because immediately after receiving this response from vodacom I checked my data balance which reflected a 11.21 gig balance. I do not even use the full monthly allocated vodacom contracted data as I have uncapped fibre to the home. One may return a purchase from any shop including online like Takealot (whom I might add are excellent for aftersales service) for a refund or credit under the Consumer Protection Act simply because you changed your mind but vodacom is unwilling to reverse the charges for data unintentionally purchased. Having been a client of vodacom for the past twenty years including vodacom fibre to the home, I will be ending my relationship with vodacom at the expiry of my cell phone contract.

Thank you for your positive response. Dean from Vodacom was very professional and really restored my confidence in Vodacom. This is a typical example of "its not the nature of the compliant but rather the effort taken by a company to resolves it"
