@vodafoneuk Vodafone service not as expected

[Guest sparrot]

I have 4 accounts with Vodafone (1 personal, 1 work, 1 data and 1 for the wife).

When I took out the contract with Vodafone I have recently moved across from overseas and did not have an established long term credit record. As a result the sales person requested that I pay a £20 fee for the new contract - something I was willing to do as the contract was a good deal and I would get further discount through the employee advantage scheme.

 

I signed up for the employees advantage scheme and got notified that it was active and looking back at my bills the discount had been applied.

 

I received a message from Vodafone that they are upping my data allowance to 5Gig from the 3Gig per my initial contract. No mention of any change in contract or termination of the employee advantage benefit. Per the terms and conditions it reads that if "you" change your package then you will need to reapply for the discount.

 

I did not change my package, my monthly amount is still the same and Vodafone simply decided to increase my data allowance, this was done without my request or authorization.

 

I noted on my bill during June that the employee advantage discount was no longer applied and contacted the customer service team on 14 July (within 30 days of noting the discount being missing). They indicated that I should have reapplied for the employee advantage scheme due to a contract change - something I did not request and received no notification whatsoever that my discount which I have applied for would fall away.

 

I would like to see if a Vodafone customer care representative on this forum would be able to properly resolve this matter as I don't believe this was an honest move by the company and the employee advantage scheme was the main consideration as it made the total cost of the package the most favorable.

So what was the outcome?

 

Will Vodafone be taking the matter further to prevent it happening again?
