Clietele Dishonest about Cover Offered by Emeregency Assistance Plan

i took a Emergency Assistance plan with Clientele at the beginning of 2016. When I took the plan the consultant told me that i would be covered for all expenses if i had to go to hospital. I signed myself and my husband up for the plan. I have been paying more than R1000 in premiums a month for 3 years now. When I called Clientele recently they told me that the plan was not a Hospital Plan or Medical Aid, and that the plan would only pay R3000 a day if i went to hospital. When i signed up for the plan i made a point to ask if the Plan would cover ALL of my hospital expenses, otherwise i would not have taken the plan. I contacted Clientele because they should refund me the premiums that i paid. I have been paying for three years for cover that i did not even have. If something had happened and i had to go to hospital i only would have found out then that i was not covered for the expenses. When i call the customer complaints they are trying to avoid the issue and they keep saying that they will get back to me. They were not honest when i signed up for the plan and they must refund the premiums that i have been paying because i only agreed to the plan because of the false information they gave me.

clientele keeps telling me that they are looking into and investigating the matter. This has been going on for several weeks now. This is terrible customer service after I have been a client making monthly payments for three years now.
