After monthly contribution was collected, I was terminated 3 weeks prematurely, is this *****ulent I ask?

I wish I could give Bonita a zero rating. It has been 2 weeks soon nce my review and just as I suspected, they never came back to me, they took my monthly contribution and the following week they terminated my membership. They tried to cover it up whenever I called by telling me I am still active, however I tried to get my Diabetic medication from Clicks pharmacy, they advised me that my membership was terminated and they could not claim from the medical aid, the call centre staff at Bonita advised me when I called that Clicks is not a service provider hence the claim rejected, lies... I went through Pharmacy Direct, the Bonitas service provider, they send me an sms to advise the membership is terminated and could not claim for the benefits, So who here is lying, the service providers or the medical aid scheme. In this case would this be seen as *****ulent, when my monthly contribution was taken and I am terminated prematurely? However they are so ***ardly that they rather hide than face what they did. Or send their *********** staff to deal with you. They really weng down the drain, they are not what they use to be.

While you are attending to that problem your, company that does your administration PHA has failed for 2 months now to pay my member reimbur*****t R316. 00. I think this is the most *********** company you could have taken on board. To add to injury, they sent me a remittance stating that they paid the money on black on white, however they still failing to do so how many pay runs later. Is this is it now a norm to be ****med and bamboozled by the medical aids?

I was called by Bonitas Boncap call centre advising me my claim was paid into my banking account on the 22nd of January 2025, it is Sunday the 26th of January 2025. I need assistance as these people are playing the fool with a person. What is so difficult to refund my R316. 00 I ask. Why do I need to be **** to, telling for four weeks in a row my payment has been done? This is *****ulent as they have sent me a remittance without payment and I am at the stage that I am going to open a case at the police station for ***** against Bonitas. I'm fed up with all the lies and excuses, they should really be ashamed for their behavior towards the members.
