Frustrating closure and ******* handover
It's rather getting sour now. I'm really frustrated with Discovery bank. I've requested closure of my bank account. everything was ok. because it's linked with Vitality along with a watch, i cancelled that also. they call me after a couple of days indicating that I need to pay for the watch. I'm like ok I don't mind doing that, I'll give you my updated details and then you can deduct as you usually do. they said they'll call me and see what the way forward is as i was not told by the consultant who has a call with our company when leaving discovery medical aid what will happen to attachments. Ever since I've been waiting for that call.
Now today i get a call for some collections company saying my details have been handed over. i refused to continue with the call and explicitly explained to the caller that i will not action anything or event entertain your call because 1. They have not sent me any communication and 2. I don't know you. he continues to say i must do my due diligence? like how if the procedure or process was not followed?
the only comms in this process was the account settlement which I'm still struggling to do. i don't know why it has to be so difficult to just close and now again I've experienced further charges on the card increasing my outstanding. This is getting ridiculous. if I'm wrong, i plead with discovery to show me proof of the comms the collectors where talking about
It's really disappointing

While waiting for this, it's really shocking that this all started with your own discovery consultant who said she will call me about the way forward when it. Have not even received any form of comms (which is why i kept fighting with your collectors-do you see how unpleasant this experience is? your promise is not met, no resolution and now i'm supposed to cough out more money as a result of your lying and inefficient staff??) on Wednesday I got a text to saying I owe 5.5k. Now I received a text again saying I owe 6.2. all this is a space of 4 days? fml I'm not paying for this when i offered a solution which was ignored or not responded to. Call me and not text me for us to sort out!
