At my wits end

I am now at my wits end. I have had a business account with Vodafone for over 25 years. Due to errors Vodafone made last year I have ended up with over £300 of credit owing to me. Customer services have requested the refunds department to pay this money at least 4 times in to my bank account. Unfortunately due to the way it has been requested refunds have refused to do it which is not my fault and there is nothing I can do. I have spoken to customer services so many times and although they are very nice " we can see the money sitting on your account but we can't get it back to you" Posted on the eforum to be told they can't help and I should take it to a senior manager! I have BEGGED them to get a senior manager to call me back all to no avail. In the meantime my £300 sits in their bank account. As this has been going on longer than 8 weeks I have emailed the ombudsman but I would just like to get it sorted. If I owed them the money they wouldn't just sit around waiting for it..

    Why don't you cancel your DD so as to reduce the credit due month on month? Not a tactic I'd normally recommend, but in this instance it seems a reasonable step.

    Hi Elliecat,

    Thanks for letting me know.

    As the Ombudsman have now taken your case on you'll need to await the outcome of their investigation.

    Kind regards,
