Ampath impugns debtors

After a doctor's visit, I was informed that my medical aid, Bonitas' savings were depleted (as usual). Ampath sent me a bill and I arranged for payment of debt in installments of R300.00 per month. So, in the beginning of June 2023 I paid said amount, and again by the end of same month, June 2023. Therefore, my next installment was due by end of July 2023. Right? Wrong. Ampath complained that I ignore them, and they get no response from me regarding settling of this debt. I'm being handed over for R813.42, which I was in the process of paying off still. I sent them a very stern letter explaining how I came to an agreement with their Vanderbijlpark branch, and today I receive an SMS from them stating that I'm still being handed over. Arrangements to settle debt with Ampath ultimately smears your honesty and your dignity. They threaten with handing you over even while you diligently settle debt with them. It is lousy, in poor taste (again) and very unprofessional. Even asking them to get their facts straight does not help. ASK YOUR GP TO NOT MAKE USE OF Ampath. Their word means nothing, and they'll slander yours.

Just an update to the unsuspecting patient and/or debtor of Ampath: they don't know what the heck they're doing at their debtor's department, but they are lightning quick to hand you over for their own stupidity, which they cannot even own up to. They can send a lame excuse for slandering your name at 07:40 in the morning a week later but (STILL) get it wrong, having now finally made arrangements for payments on the Jo-burg side of the circus when my debt is already settled in full. Owing them something is a nightmare, so beware. Their ineptness is only superseded by robotic inhumanity.

Don't bother, really. I established what went wrong in minutes what your entire debtor's department couldn't accomplish in days (over two weeks), and they're STILL *****ing the pooch. You'll never get it right. EVER. You've already proven that, and again this morning. No point in sinking your reputation- or what tatters are left of it- any further. You're just wasting your victims' time and *****ing up their day, their chi and turning into brown stuff everything you touch. Rather just stop doing business and rid us of your stupidity.
