Unhelpful, lies, no response

I am so upset and tired right now. I can't believe the shocking service I have received from Bonitas. More than three months after submitting a claim, I finally received a statement saying the amount would be paid on 12 July. Note that the statement confused me as there were a lot of minuses on it and then the same amounts loaded again, in four separate line items. On 12 July, I received a payment for one of those line items. The other R700 owed to me wasn't in my account. I then emailed them and received a reply with the subject line "Closure of Query", which said that they had paid the full amount. I then phoned them and was told again that their system says the full amount had been paid. While on the phone with them, I double checked my bank account to confirm that the full amount hadn't been paid. All they could tell me was that on their side it says it has been. I then went to my bank, they checked, and they gave me stamped printouts of my account. I then tweeted Bonitas to ask if someone from management could contact me. They asked me to DM my details, which I did, and then two days later they rep**** to say that they "can confirm that correspondence was sent to you confirming that the claim was paid to your FNB bank account on the 12/07/2018". I then rep**** saying that I'm not querying whether or not I received correspondence – because yes, I did receive that – I'm querying the fact that your system is saying one thing and my bank account is reflecting a different thing and I demand that someone senior contact me. I never received a response. I then tweeted them again and still nothing. I am so frustrated and shocked by this. How can you just ignore your customers? I wish I'd checked them out on Hello Peter before as I see this lack of communication and lies appears to be their MO. I can tell you sincerely that this is one customer you've lost and that I will be sharing this shocking experience with others who want to join a medical aid.

Thank you for responding. But I have already tried addressing this via telephone, email and twitter, all with the same (ineffective) results. This has reached the point where it needs to be escalated and you can be rest assured that I will be terminating my contract at the end of this year.
