GOT BLACKLISTED!!! VERY DISGUSTED!!!!

I was in accident on 02/2018. I called the medical aid to request which hospital can I go to. The agent that helped me gave me two hospitals and I went to one. Bonitas did not pay the claim because there was no authorisation request and now I have to pay attorneys R3,178.26 and I have a DEFAULT in my credit record.

As a NEW CLIENT shouldn't the agent I spoke to the very first time advised me that I need to request for authorisation. I mean that's just common sense and it is part of TREATING CLIENTS FAIRLY, TCF!!!

I am also told there is nothing they (Bonitas) can do and I need to pay that bill with a bad credit record.

Call ***...

VERY DISGUSTED!!!!

From August 2019 to date you guys have not come back to me on how you are going to sort this matter out and now I am getting blacklisted.

Look in February 2018 I made a call to find out if I am covered for hospital and it was confirmed I was and specified I was in a car accident and needed to go to hospital

No advise on pre-authorisations was given to me and as a new client I do not know these kinds of things.

You didn't pay the doctor and I followed up with you guys and you told me that there's nothing you can do but every month you take +R2000.00 from my salary!!!!

Now this morning I get this sms:
