Billed for a service that I cancelled a week before it was activation. Owing Thousands.

So this is my story. Vox was recommended to me by a colleague in my office. Contacted them and all went well, all the documentation was done online and the signing of the contract. I was then contacted by one of the Account Executive Retian Meyer : per telephone and he wanted to know the type of fiber box we have installed in the unit we stay . I then took a picture and sent it via e-mail. I then received a call from Vox representative on 28/01/2023 and he explained that it was difficult to make an assessment not knowing if the box we have in the unit would be compatible with the service I required. He also took the time to explain how long it will take to install the service. I stressed out to MR Meyer that I can not wait for 6 weeks for installation as he was explaining. I then explained to him the urgency of getting fiber. I also told him that if it is going to take that long that I would rather like the service /installation to be cancelled.

He then said that I should get in touch with him if I changed my mind. I then received an e-mail from Openserve notifying me of activating the service. I immediately e-mail Mr Meyer with this news, as per the telephonic conversation I did mention if installation will take 6 weeks then I'd rather want this transaction cancelled.

Been calling them now for months to try and resolve my query and all I get is statements from vox demanding payment for a service that was cancelled before any installation. I never accepted the delivery of their router. Been calling their credit control department, with no help. And what is even worse spoke to a lady in accounts dept and she told me my services was activated on the 06 /02/2023. Hope we can resolve this matter Vox.

Dear Vox Team

It is very frustrating that a company can claim their sales team has sent me correspondence. I have received a call from Vox and it was explained to me that I had 2 accounts active with vox.
I was never aware of having 2 accounts with VOX - Which were never cancelled, although I requested it to be cancelled below is the conversation.
The call received on the on 02 May 2023 - I was then told about x 2 accounts on the system of Vox. All I wanted was vox to correct the mistake and stop sending me an account to claim money for a service they never provide - or a service I did not make use of. None of Vox property has ever entered my premises.
I was given an option telephonically on the 02/05/2023 - Which stated that If I continue with Vox the balance reflecting on my account will fall away . And they will set up a new account. I vehemently refused to conduct any business with VOX The callers proposition sounded more like If you continue with the vox deal than the existing account where I am being charged for a service that has never been rendered would be nil in void. I told the caller that I have internet connection with another service provider which I am happy with he then told me that he will take my answer back to management and get back to me. I have waited for 24 days for the caller to come back with the outcome of my refusal of the proposition.

Today like clockwork I received 2 statements from VOX -
Interest on Overdue Balance 86.16
01/Apr/2023 Opening Balance 1,740.04 1,740.04
4/Apr/2023 I*** Cancellation Charges 4/Apr/2023 2,875.00 4,615.04
21/Apr/2023 DM575683 Interest on Overdue Balance 21/Apr/2023 23.88 4,638.92
21/May/2023 DM590101 Interest on Overdue Balance 21/May/2023 86.16 4,725.08
Closing Balance 4,725.08
Now vox I am sure of one thing, my money you will never see. Big companies like you are *****ing from the consumers and because some consumers are afraid of being blacklisted they will give into unfair demands to keep their names in good standing. As for me I really don't care. We can carry on with a cat and mouse game. But shame, my money you will not see.
