In May 2016 I changed from Vodafone ADSL to Vodafone Fibre - when the new modem arrived my name was misspelt to (xxx) but with correct address. Regardless the Post released the package. I immediately on receipt of the contract I contacted Vodafone to have my name correctly spelt.
To the best of my memory the initial fee for first year was at €17.49 and afterwards to be €34.99
Shortly after I was offered to switch to KabelDeutschland.
Now after I have found that I have been paying to a "Ghost account" I have realized it was near impossible for me to read that the monthly draft of 14.49 was to a different account than that one I had signed (7. DB monthly overview) - I only observed "Vodafone sagt vielen Dank"
At same time I did not realize I was also paying to Kabel Deutschland.
I moved back to Sweden on the 31-12-2016 and cancelled my Contract with Kabel Deutschland who gave me three months cancellation fee.
In August 2017 I observed that Vodafone still charged €17.49 - as I believed this was a mistake by Vodafone - I asked my Bank to refund me for the three months June, July and August
I contacted Vodafone "operator" which was very complicated and the lady I spoke to accepted something was wrong - however the line cut down and as it had taken me some 20 minutes to get hold of her I simply believed she understood and took care of the problem
In February 2018 I received and invoice for an outstanding sum of €125.77 - with my limited German I read this as a very threatening letter with possible fines (8. Letzte Mahnung). Observe the name is wrong and just by pure luck did the postman manage to identify my real address.
At this time I had just taken up a new job after nearly 8 moths of unemployment thus I was not in the mind to contest or question so I immediately paid hoping it was the last.
After I had paid this "Fine" I monitored my account and noted that there was no more charges - thus reduced my vigilance only to again notice that Vodafone again had started to charge but this time €34.99!
I immediately reversed June and August and again received a letter from Vodafone on the 31st August demanding payments.
This is when I realized that all this payments and communication with fines and threats for penalties is for an account I have absolutely no connection with.
