Vodacom Upgrade Issues

To whom this may concern,

RE: Contract upgrade issue

I am writing this letter of complaint to Vodacom Upgrades Department, as I have an ongoing issue after my contract upgrade was done on 30 March 2022. After 5 attempts over telephone calls, it is still unresolved.

My previous contract plan was activated in March 2020 and consisted of the following: - Red Select Top Up+ - R1223.97 (less R250 discount) = R973.97/m - 2GB/m - 800min/m - 5GB/m (24months promo)

On 30 March 2022, I upgraded via a telephone call onto the following plan: - Red Top Up - R1159/m - 10GB/m - 800min/m

I am not receiving my data as I should (minutes remain the same), and on the My Vodacom app it still shows the old plan. I am now even paying more than what I should pay and getting less than what I should receive! The invoiced amount exceeds the signed contract amount.

I called on 5 May, 6 May, 18 May, 29 June, and 4 July to sort this out. The first two calls concluded that the problem was rectified. The third call concluded that I needed to wait until June for the changes to take effect. The fourth call concluded that the matter is escalated (as it was not rectified earlier in May), and on the last attempt I couldn’t reach the operator as the lines are too busy, and my calls keep on dropping after 5 minutes.

I switched over to sending emails to ***. I explained the issue and sent them this complaint on 4 July and 11 July, but still no response.

This issue needs to be sorted out asap please!, and I request credit for the months that I have overpaid.

Regards,

Good day,

Yes, I have been informed that the amount which I overpaid, was processed to be credited onto my account (from April when I upgraded), and that the IT department will do the migration.

However, today is the 1st of August, and on My Vodacom App it still reflects my old package details (same billable amount, same minutes, different data) but now it is worse - the 5GB promotional data on the old package has been removed! By the looks of what I see on the app, the situation has gotten worse!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! More than three months after my upgrade and I am still sitting with this issue. :-(

Today is the 3rd of August. The problem still persists. The only attempt to resolve this issue, was an SMS from Vodacom stating the following: "Dear Vodacom Customer, your query S5-QDE6E-EE5V has been assigned for resolution. Vodacom Sales: ***". WHEN WILL YOU PROVIDE SOME PROPER ASSISTANCE, VODACOM??
