No discount poor service from greedy Ampath

No discount on my mom's PCR test account, even though Consumer Commission found pricing of COVID tests to be unjustifiably high. Poor customer service stating we arranged to pay off the account but this refers to another test. Ampath need to get their admin in order.

Hi Wikus. Thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately, the reduced price negotiated with the Competition Commission is only applicable from the date of the ruling. Please do let us know whether you still need assistance on the account so that we may put someone from the relevant team in touch.

So how much discount can you give?

Are you sad that you have to charge R500.00 a test now that you don't want to give any discount. You're quite greedy.

All other labs give discount not like Ampath.

I'll make sure not to use Ampath again in future as there are other labs, especially some new ones not just the three 'larger' ones.

I would have thought you would ask someone to contact me but guess you don't really care about good client service. Rather send a reply email asking them to inform if they still want assistance. You're quite lazy.

When calling the Ampath call center one holds on forever, only to be met by rude agents raising their voice to you.
