Refund woes

Auto and General, a company I have being ensured with for several years and who has always rendered good service, has now gone down the wrong path. They double deducted my premium on 2/9. I phoned them on 3/9 and requested a refund. I was told that the refund had been requested and would be paid out in 5 to 7 days. I made a follow up call last Tuesday and was informed that the refund was in process and that I would receive the payment by yesterday at the latest. No refund was received. To day I called them only to learn that no refund had been requested and that I had to submit a bank statement even though the double premiums were reflecting on their side. My questions are: Why was I **** to? Is the value of my policy not big enough for me to receive proper help with a query. I feel I was discriminated against because of the rand value of my policy. The agents who I spoke to on 3/9 and last Tuesday obviously have no understanding of clients problems. When a person lives on a small income, a double deduction can cause other problems.like I said, Auto and General have always been helpful and understanding in the past. What has gone wrong now?

Well I have still have had no positive response from Auto and General except an SMS from the bank to say I must approve another debit check. Why another one? The debit check has been previously approved. The least Auto and General could have done was call me, send me an email etc to resolve my complaint, but no I get asked to authorise yet another deduction. Come now guys, you a big company. Surely you have a staff member who can assist me.
