So, Iāve began making this phone call at 191 and asked an agent to send me a proof of usage for that specific IMEI linked to my phone number. That was after my attempts of getting it online and given back there was no usage.
I am on the phone for 2:50 recording it and the agent was aware and also aware about my mental health problems ( depression, anxiety, bipolarā¦etc.) even so I wasnāt rude or I was controlling myself, or at least trying he kept repeating himself, talking over me, I got to this point where heās not listening to me anymore heās violating my private data and do what he thinks.
I said Iāve completed the form online and I believe is a mistake and he said NO he knows better.
I pleased him to put me in contact with someone else as I wanted to get that resolved. He said āI can do this myself ā
at this point I was this is not a question this is a request. He is not listening to me causing me more stress, not just I have it on phone records but my friend was filming on his phone and you can see at some point he was raising over , overtaking, rude, not apologising , interrupting constantly. Oh yeah he was twisting the wordsā¦EX: I want a proof of usage.
Him: Sorry sir we canāt give you a proof of purchase as you havenāt bought the phone from us.
Anyway..He then said heās going to put me through with a manager. He actually doesnāt put me on hold, I can tell when Iām on hold and he comes back saying he talked with his manager and I will get that. I said Iāve asked to be put through not to talk my info in my name. I believe he tried to cut off. I said to him Iāll let it go if he send an email saying what he said at the phone.
Like that he talked over with Mara for example and Mara told him I will get that proof. He said he canāt do this. This is when Iāve begun to cry you can see on video on my friend phone, and nearly had a seizure , started to get red , my head hurts, and I start to shake. I get this from stress anywayā¦.
I get through complainants I get a solution the guy actually finds my device and proof which I was sure they had it from beginning and apologies. I said Iām going further in relation with the agent. He said he can offer me Ā£50 off bill I was Ā£260 debt due to the fact that I lost the phone , I donāt have a proof of address atm and could be because of personal reasons ( homeless, chased up by someoane to beat me upā¦) and I cannot satisfy my insurance policy ASSURANTā¦I am getting to an agreement with him where he said heās going to resolve it internally, Iāll Ā£260 off and he said heās going to have a word with insurance. I get told heās waiting for signatures. From here you canāt understand nothing my case itās been passed from people to people, I was given a link and a password for the online complaints account. The server itās not working and plus they using a IP detection service where they can give access to whoever they want to. I wanted to upload my proofs too just in case. I get put through ASSURANT complaints from that call , this guy is telling me is okay they will make an exception. They will contact me to send just what I have and bank statements. I send that ! I get also an email from ASSURANT saying:

NO summary given š
Not explanation what actually has been resolved. But anyway I didnāt give importance to this. I did as Iāve been told sent passport, bank statement, and an explanation who Iāve talked with when and why I donāt have a proof of address. Even though I shouldnāt really explain as the guy said itās okay , sorted just send the documents I have.
I get a call from Assurant miss it. I email them to call me back as I didnāt have credit. They knew probably cuz itās the number in debt. Note they donāt reply to my email and just attempt to call once 2 days after.
they call back in the same day once they seen my email to call me. They say they canāt accept that as proof.
this is where I dunno who to believe, or not anymore.
I get those from Vodafone in regards my complaint against the agentā¦.

Note no summary sent , didnāt told what has been resolved and what not. No info tbh. Just that they closing it. I didnāt agree and I said thisā¦
Hi James,
I am not trying to be silly or something, not that I have any intentions to keep email you or the Vodafone team.
But would you please be considering to write down into the email, what has been concluded?
I do acknowledge that you told me that information over the phone. But I would like that in a written email due to the fact that I simply cannot have access to the server, and so that I have that necessary level of protection I feel I need.
This is a last thing Iāll probably ask you for. I hope you donāt get me wrong.
Youāve been amazing so far, and helped me so much. Btw you donāt have to stay write this email very professional. Just some ideas and thatās it.
Looking to hear from you as soon as possible.
Regards,
my name here ā
He isnāt replying anymore, I called heās out . He scheduled calls he didnāt deliver. I chased up heās telling me heās waiting for signatures.
šØāš¼šØāš¼šØāš¼
Iām like what signatures when you said itās closed.
I am being on the phone 2 hours again from one to 10 different agents and team.
I said I want to get an email with summary and what has been resolved, he said he will do it today 04.10.2022 while he transfer me over to the insurance to discuss the other claim. Which I donāt understand what was to discuss at this point just the fact that they promised me things, affected my mental health even more my doctor told me and Iām more stressed than ever.
The insurance put me through 5 differents people today to get to same person again. Being told to send a proof of transport now ā¦changing it and twisting it.
I been through someone else again in same call she told me proof of address.
I didnāt wanted to go through all of this I am the most affected since I started to recover. I havenāt been out for 2 weeks being stressed and trying to resolve this.
when I try to go back to James to see if he actually sent the email as he said he will I get out through main menu robot š¤ I get to some point to an agent ( note I havenāt hang up or something all in the same call )
I get told James is out now , I was spiking with him just 15 minutes before btw. Even though this James has a program right ? Even though he could be asked why at 17:50 he was having a break and go for a walk. This is proofs against him. Maybe he had a break and this is heās luck we canāt complain of course.
Conclusion: They tried to get read of me, they mistake to many things. I am being transferred from a person to another and you canāt understand anymore, I am mentally more ill since I started my medical treatment, I canāt sleep, Iām stressed, Iām exhausted, I canāt carry out my activities anymore.
If he canāt handle this he couldāve say it.
give me one person responsible who replies, who takes responsibility and care and who takes the consequences. Not when inform the person about my intentions to go further they get read of my case and give it to someone else. It has been that .
I hope you guys have never experience the nightmare Iām going through now.
But if you did I hope you can help me and tell me where to go. FOS is good I know but I consider all the options. As this has exhausted me of power of piece and making my life getting back to what it has before treatment.
Love you all and take care of yourself.
If I missed something sorry I have memory lost too, not that bad but I do omit things now and again, the tablets are relatively strong (Xanaxā¦etc) donāt wanna give to many ideas š”
