Bad service adn very rude staff

I resigned from Bestmed over a year ago, and just last week Received an email, addressed to someone else, instead of me, saying that I owed them app R3800, When I closed my account I was informed that all was up to date and that my final payment would be on the 2nd of October 2017, I was also informed that I would receive an amount (not specified) from my savings paid into my bank. Nothing happened. I recently called their debtors office and spoke to Reme he notified me that the reason for the long delay on the money I apparently owed was because they had changed systems. I then spoke to a very abrasive Tasha (Supervisor) , She promised to come back to me, Been 4 working days now , nothing. I informed their debtors department that I would pay of the amount on a monthly basis, as I am a pensioner and do not have a lot of money, I e-mailed them twice still no response, My Membership number is **********

Good day Mr Spaltman

Cindy is the Manager in our Debtors Department and since your query is related to debtors matters, the query was forwarded to her for the best response to your e-mail.

The turnaround time for a response to e-mails is 24 - 48 hours.

Kind regards.

Hi Marlene, but I have to correct, again incorrect, My query's have been with your debtors department since the 10th , That makes it a lot longer than 48 hours. Including the answers I requested , why was the debtors letter sent to my estranged wife, Why did the letter threaten me that if I did not pay, you would take action, the first time I hear I apparently owe you money was a threat included, you must really look into your staff attitude.
