AA Vodafone Personal Roadwatch

I just had my Vodafone bill come in. There was a charge for using "Personal Roadwatch" for 20 minutes at a cost of £25.54 at a time when I was at home and writing emails. I had used the service by dialling 2222 the day before for road traffic information, and been charged £3.08 for 2m25s. I had used the service in the past but had not realised that the AA and Vodafone had apparently relaunched it as a premium rate service.

I complained and Vodafone agreed to credit me for the call, but just this once as a good will gesture. My issue, which I wanted to warn others about is that they said that they, Vodafone, were billed by a third party for me using the service! but when I asked who should I complain to, they said they had no details as to who issued the charge (????!!). When I then googled Personal Roadwatch, no organisation appears who you can contact, but a load of forums where there are hundreds of exactly my complaint, appear - lots of people been billed for exactly 20 minutes for a call they did not make and apparently no-one can determine who is responsible for raising the charge - very suspicious! So don't use 2222 if you are on Vodafone or there are apparently another couple of networks who also access this service, of whom it seems Talk Talk may be one. Has this happened to anyone else and have you been able to resolve,it and find who is responsible for the charging?

Thanks,

A.
