Don't ask for information unless you want to be spammed!!

Towards the beginning of February I filled in a request for Information on the Affinity Health website. I was contacted by Anneli van der Merwe on the 5th and requested that she forward me the information I needed. I was not interested as the hospital plan was insufficient and advised her of such on the same day. Since then my phone has become an Affinity Health hotline with up to 5 missed calls a day. I have emailed Anneli to request that these calls stop but with no luck. Bunch of amateurs!!

Reviewer Update
Not an apology for the aggravation and harassment. As for that link, you should follow it yourself before handing it out. I have the right to not be spammed and harassed no matter what you think and I don't have to put my details on a website because of your business practices.

Good day Tony

Thank you for your prompt response.

Please be advised that your contact number was received upon indication of interest, as such we are investigating reasons for repetitive contact post declined application for policy, as well as why the aforementioned agent reneged to inform the relevant department that you no longer wish to be contacted.

Kindly be informed that it is not our intention to evoke distress nor any inconvenience, however as the number was noted as a lead according to the initial interest shown, consequent attempts at re-application for policy would have been made by other agents, thus unaware of the outcomes of the correspondence between you and the aforementioned agent.

Please advise if you would like to be contacted telephonically be a Complaints Officer for further resolution.

Kind regards

Affinity Health Management Team
