Claimed charge after service ended [English]

asu23 — Tue, 11 May 2021 18:24:29 GMT

Dear team,

I had Vodafone cable broadband in Hanover. While I was moving to Dusseldorf, wanted to shift my connection along with me. However due to non availability of the connectivity in my new location vodafone cound not provide me service and request for cancellation of the connection. I have paid broadband charges till Nov'20 which including 3 months even I have not used your service. Whatever it may and finally my service has been closed in Dec'2020.

However I have received a letter from a 3rd party company (Paigo GmbH) stating that Vodafone has forward a request to collect some outstanding charges. First I am unable to identify what are these charges which is claimed by Vodafone.

My bank account was connected with Vodafone billing system and as generated per invoice all has been settled till Dec'2020. Also if there are any outstanding fees why it was not informed to me before it circulated for debt collection company .

Request you to provide additional information about what are these charges ASAP. For any additional details please feel free to call me.

Regards

Asutosh Roy

Hi asu23,

Paigo GmbH is a debt collection agency. When this companies are involved, there#s nothing we could do any more.

Debts long after the termination of a contract usually result from devices that have not been returned.

I understand Paigo GmbH is a debt collection agency. However data has been provided by Vodafone. So my question is i need clarification what are these charges has been charged. if these charges were genuine why it has not debitted from my account directly and in addition to this why it was not communicated to me. the account mentioned on the Invoice doesn't familier to me. I have different contract number of my Broadband connection.

This is not acceptable while Vodafone send data to debt collection agency while no information to customer.

@Stephanyou could at least check which amounts are still open and were forwarded to the debit collector, right?

For my old contract *** in Hannover which I had cleared all payments after cancellation of my contract. the final bill which i received in Dec'2020 had small cents to be paid to me from Vodafone it seems.

I had requested for shifting my connect from Hannover to Dusseldorf but vodafone could not offer me new connection at my Dusseldorf location. Not sure if the contract number (***) entioned on the debt letter is due to that.

but question is when there are no connection provided by Vodafone why there will be any charge ??

Did you return all devices to Vodafone? I asked for the amount which is charged right now because this can indicate whether it is related to a device or some other charges.

asu23 — Wed, 19 May 2021 08:20:00 GMT

Yes, I have returned teh device.

Hi asu23,

thanks for you pm.

The charges have nothing to do with the old cable contract in Hannover. But you had also a contract for a WLAN-Hotspot-Flat.

After your move for this contract the payments were rejected and the contract was cancelled due to outstanding amounts. These amounts where then transferred to the debt collction agency.

Regards

Stephan

Dear Stephen,

Thanks for your note.

How it possible ?? I have requested for cancellation Hotspot as well in Aug'2020.

Also this should have cancelled from Vodafone end along with my cable connection. As Hotspot connection was linked in Cable connection. Also I had checked in my invoices, from Sep'20 onwards there were no Hotspot charges added. so from my end it was clear along with my Cable contract termination this service also come to an end.

If it continue why there were no communication to me that it continue separately. for this charge I have not even received any invoices monthly. Vodafone used to send an email reminder of the payment. Without any communication to customer how can Vodafone expect customer know some service active and running in behind.

Just to inform while I was even paying till Aug'20 for WLAN-Hotspot service, I have not used from long time. You can help me with logs of login data.

Hi asu23,

there's no cancellation for the Hotspot-Flat from August. This was a contract for it's own and not connected to the cable internet.

There were charges for this service even after September 2020, which were actively rejected. The first reminder for that was sent in November to your e-mail address. You got this payment reminder, just like you wrote yourself.

At last the Hotspot-Flat was cancelled in March 2021 due to the outstanding amounts, with a written confirmation. All invoices an documents were also placed in your customer care portal. So there was enough information from our side.

We don't have to prove the usage with log files or something like that. It doesn't matter, if you used this service or not: you had an active contract about it, which you didn't pay for.

Regards

Stephan

Dear Stephan,

Thanks fo ryour note. would you please shaere link of the said "customer care portal". I have access to customer portal of cable and where there is not documents related to this new contract itself. Here attached screenshot from the Vodafone.de where i do have only access to my cable connection.

To inform I never order Hotspot-Flat separately and it was bundle with my cable connection. if it has been charged me separately why there was no invoice no communication on invoices.

Please let me know next steps.

Many Thanks

Asutosh Roy

Hi asu23,

the contract has a different customer number. You can find it on the invoices or payment reminders. It has already been terminated, please clarify the payments with the collection agency.

Dear Thomas,

As mentioned earlier i do not have any reminder in my inbox. That was my first question without any communication from Vodafone in prior, I have received an notice from debt company. While my Hannover cable connection has terminated, I still have access to all the documents bills, communications etc. while in this case I do not have.

So it was my request to Vodafone who is claiming party has to provide all teh details before i made teh payment clearance. So far which I have not received a clear answer to my question.

I am ok to pay the fees, but need clear understanding on demand and my obligations. While there was no contract from my end, why the charges are being charged to me.

Also I have felt bad in another things. When I had my connection 2018 vodafone team communicate and explain everything in english from sales to activation request. however while now it's termination request no one wants to communicate with me in English. I thought by moving with time we are making enrich ourself forward to support better community (international).

Hi asu23,

we have explained to you what kind of contract we are talking about. Since the matter has been handed over to the debt collection agency, we can do nothing in this case. Your contact is the collection agency.

I have taken the trouble to check this more closely. The hotspot flat rate has been running since December 2018 under the customer number of your Internet & Phone contract. This can even be seen on every monthly invoice.

Even in the confirmation of the move, it says that you will receive a new customer number and only the Internet & Phone contract will be canceled. So, from our point of view, everything is correct.

Regards

Thomas
