Worst service for upgrade

On Saturday, I visited Vodacom4u in Sandton City and spent over an hour querying why, if I took out my contract in December 2015, I would continue to pay for my handset until March or April 2018. The first debate was when I had initially started paying for the handset. The system at the store cannot show details earlier than May 2016 this i requested the invoices from Dec 2015 to be emailed to me. 3 days later i was advised they were on the website (not emailed as requested). When i go to the website no such details are available.

I returned to the store today and again spoke to the store manager. I was told that the first payment was in Feb 2016 for Jan 2016 (no proof available though) but i would continue to pay until Match 2018 or April 2018. I have queried this but still no adequate answer.

I am simply trying to understand 1. When did I first start paying for my handset 2. When will my last payment be

The store manager called the billing department. They put down the phone and said a request should be logged

On Sunday, I took out a new contract but was told that I still had 3 months outstanding on my handset. Based on the SMS received, my understanding was that the handset is now paid off. Please can someone call me and explain what exactly is happening. This issue has been unresolved for 2 weeks, despite Vodacom's claims - simply sending an SMS does not mean that the issue has been sorted out. None of my requests have been resolved
