VOX

I changed over to Vox, received my router, set everything up myself. My brother and I were sharing a bachelor flat at the time and a new place came up for us to move to which was more space for both of us so he didn't have to sleep in the lounge. I canceled with vox the day after the line was activated, the sales guy I was talking to said not a problem so I assumed it was canceled. Upon requesting my cancelation letter they had no record of the cancelation. I sent through screenshot of the cancelation request and I was then sent and invoice for 2 months charges and they deducted the money from my account with out an accepted debit order mandate. I then received and additional invoice for R1750 for the cancelation fee. When I asked for a breakdown I was told it's to claw back because of cancelation in less than 12 months... I asked for a proper breakdown because they never installed the line or set up the router, I only received the router through a courier and did the set up myself. They refused to credit the additional monthly charge (which I didn't use because of change of residence) because I didn't give a full calendar months notice, so I sent them a snippet from the consumer protection act which states I may cancel within 20 business days which is what I did, the act also states that they may charge a reasonable cancelation fee, but the amount I'm being charged is not reasonable at all considering there was no loss of materials or labpur. After sending these mails I am now receiving sms's threatening to hand me over but no one is responding to me.

Good day,  Lauren H

Kindly note that the details of your query has been sent to the debtors team to investigate and assist.
 
The billing commences on the date of activation of the line.

Kindly note that Vox conditionally waivers the Setup/Configuration and Installation charges for the activation of the fibre services upon sign up, on the condition that the services remain active for 12 months.
 
Should the service be cancelled within the 12 month period, the conditionally waivered Setup/Configuration and Installation charge is billed back to the account.

 Please note that the billing is not for the Vox router, but for the Setup and Configuration of the services.

We will provide feedback to  you soonest.
 
Kind Regards,
Vox
