Another Vodafone mis-selling
Comments

Exactly the same has just happened to me, I was about to leave Voda and then they called offering me 50% discount of the £46.90 package with an upgrade of phone which I took. The discount was never applied to my account and now they are saying that they would never offer that. I'm furious, i have the name and date/time of the conversation, I'm emailing them as you can;t actually ever speak to anyone!!!! Getting nowhere. Anyone know how I get out of the contract???0

See below an extract of an email sent to Vodafone CEO - just a further warning to you all about Vodafone and their underhand tactics!
"I am writing to complain about Vodafone mis-selling me a mobile phone contract and your subsequent inaction when I have phoned your offices.
I recently received a phone call to advise that you had a number of special offers for loyal customers. The main one being 3000 anytime minutes and unlimited texts on a 12 month sim only contract for £10.00 per month. I requested that the full details were repeated and both my partner and I heard the representative confirm the above.
Upon receiving the first bill for this sim card, it has been discovered that I have been put on the 600 minutes and unlimited texts contract for double the price quoted.
I have subsequently telephoned your offices on numerous occasions and have been falsely re-assured that everything has been sorted and/or a supervisor would telephone me. Both these statements are false, nothing has been sorted and I have not received any call from a supervisor.
It would appear that Vodafone has delved into the depths of mis-selling to protect their market share. This is unacceptable. If I do not receive a resolution to this complaint I shall refer the matter to Obudsman and Trading Standards."
Hi crazy_guy,
As indicated by berniesmaster could you email me with your details using the 'Contact us' form on our website?
When sending the email could you include within the body of it both the link to this thread (and your MSE username) together with the code WRT135 to make sure it comes through to us?berniesmaster wrote: »crazy guy......
