Worst customer service award winner VODACOM

I was offered a laptop deal from Vodacom. I accepted the deal. Before delivery I was offered another deal on a laptop by vodacom which was better than the first deal. They delivered the first laptop which I returned. They delivered the second laptop which I also returned because it was not what I had been offered. See both credit numbers and courier waybill numbers. o/n ***, waybill K*** and o/n ***, K***. This was nearly 18 months ago. When I checked my last statement received early november I noticed something amiss. (I am being billed for for something returned nearly 18 months ago). When I phoned to enquire I was given a total runaround. I went into the vodacom shop 921/11/20) at Baywest shopping centre in Port Elizabeth to try and get some assistance. They phoned customer services and eventually were told that a supervisor would phone me back while I waited in the store. I am still waiting for that phone call. I went back to the vodacom shop (24/11/20) to try and get assistance again. I was unsuccessful and it is impossible to speak to a manager. The credit I should be receiving is over R4000.00. I received a call from a gent Andrew who said he would sort out the problems and would phone me on friday 27/11/20. Needless to say this never happened. Now today 2/12/20 My debit order went through and instead of my normal debit order for about R1600.00 going through and receivng my credit I have been debited with R5786.00 putting my account past its credit limit which has never happened before. Again I tried to phone and after being on the line with no success for over 22 minutes I was cut off. The staff in Vodacoms billing department are totally ***********.

Reviewer Update
I have been told that I will be receiving the credit in a few days, I have not received it yet. Am I also going to get interest on the money deducted from my account for the last 17 months on a laptop I do not have. I would also like to know who gave the authority for the debit of R5737.00 on my account as no one discussed this or made me aware they were going to do it. I now have a returned debit order which I am assuming vodacom will pick up the costs for? Waiting with baited breath for someone to contact me, last time it was two weeks and still no phone call.
