Membership cancelled a month too early

On the 28th of Aug 2015 I requested that my membership be cancelled AFTER September. I made it very clear in the cancellation letter stating that the cancellation commencement date should be (30 September). I also specified that the last payment date should be the 5th of September. I don't know if it was Prinavans fault or not but he/she was the one that assisted in getting the form and I also sent it back using this same email address. 2 weeks ago I had a x-ray done and when trying to claim back I am told that this was done after membership cancellation? So now please tell me who is going to pay for this x-ray? Not only that, what would have happened had I gotten into a serious accident and was left with no cover? Not to mention that the hospital refuses to deal with affinity due to bad service... Also I visited a specialist for the first time this year but I am only getting a R250 reimbur*****t? This can't be right, please correct me if I am mistaken. Anyways this is a very serious error so I am holding affinity responsible for the x-ray bill as it is not my fault that my membership was cancelled before my clear instruction. Fix this or face legal action.
