Worst customer care experience ever
<p>Walk in to Somerset Vodacom Customer Care centre on the 1 August 2016 with a simple request, please move my debit order date from the last date of the month to the next debit order date. Taking into account that my last debit order just went through as always without problems.</p> <p>No problem they said the next date would be around the 6 of every month. With strict instruction that this should only happen for my next payment and not 6 days later I agreed.</p> <p>The debit order went through on the 8 August 8 days since my last debit order went through. I reversed that debit order promptly because that was definitely not my agreement and was a double deduction according to me.</p> <p>And here the problems starts with two walk in centre visits and 3 phone calls later all cut off with no call backs from Vodacom I’m still seen as in arears and the only solution for me is to rather pay cash monthly since none of the Vodacom agents I dealt with could solve my problem.</p>

Dear Client
We understand your concerns and would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused. The reason why this happened was due to the new invoices that are generated on the third of each month.
Our records reflect that the Accounts Team created a credit for the R100 return debit order fee and the account is in a current state.
Kind regards
Vodacom Customer Care

So that caused the problem. Now explain why this was not disclosed before the debit order was amended and why none of the consultants could work towards and acceptable solution.
It’s not acceptable to bill and customer 8 days apart due to how your system works and not disclose and confirm that this is indeed what I have requested.
Why is it necessary to argue this on a public forum?
Your consultants are not willing to find solutions but rather wants to pass the bug and hide behind the system.
As a customer I expect full disclosure and consent on all agreements especially when it comes to finances!!!
