Poor service, then uncalled for threat from Bankmed

I have just had the most unpleasant service experience in years, leaving a financial services organisation and trying to resign as a Bankmed member. The service provider has been absolutely unhelpful, dragging out the termination of my membership without any good reason. To add insult to injury, I just received a call from Bankmed, telling me that I owe money due to a clawback of benefits already used for the year (I have no problem with that) and threatenig me that I will be handed over for debt recovery if I don't pay within six days. I don't ever need to be threatened to pay anything I owe (as I write this, I have already settled the outstanding amount) and, after the last month's excruciating experience, this threat was utterly uncalled for. If only they were as efficient in off-boarding me as they are in ******ing payment, I would have left with a very different sentiment.

You can call me at 16:00 tomorrow (Wednesday). Not sure how a call will change anything - my membership ends this weekend and I have paid all monies owed before the threat of being handed over for debt collection can become a reality. My impression will always be influenced by my experience exiting membership of Bankmed.

Hi Pieter, apologise for attempting to reach you at a time that was not convenient for you. The purpose of the call was to get more details or clarity regarding the excrutiating experience you mentioned in the initial post, so we can investigate, and provide you with clarity or feedback.
