Amending policies without full consent

I opted to cancel cover on my vehicle with dial direct due to another insurer offering better coverage for more or less the same amount as what i am paying now, spoke to an agent yesterday and then she tells me that my other policy for home content cover has gone up by almost R200, when opted why i get told that when i cancel a policy the discount falls away. This was not once discussed to me and my home content cover was effective a couple of months prior to me adding my vehicle. I never accepted this and our phone call got cut, no attempts were made to get back in contact with me only received a polocy amendment email of terms and conditions as well as the new debit order amount to which i have not agreed. I feel that my cancelation of the one policy should not affect my first policies premiums in the effent that i do cancel. Should i not hear from dial direct by tomorrow close of business as keep in mind it takes them 3 days to return calls i wil lodge this matter to the ombudsman,

Still no call from your agemts, this so called great customer service has gone down the drain, If no call is received by end of day today i will lodge it with the ombudsman as this is pathetic not to call a client back and amend the policy without a clients full consent
