360 International Student PRICE ****

<p>I am an international student studying in Southa Africa. I am required to have medical aid for the duration of my studies which is 12 months before applying for a student visa. I contacted Discovery who said I had to pay the full year's premiums in advance which was R290 per month, which I did pay R3 480 and received a certificate of membership for 2017.</p> <p>Today I received an email that my membership has been terminated because of a R176 outstanding amount. After a 29minute call with the Call Centre lady I was told the premium was increased to R912 per month so my prepaid amount is finished and I should now pay R7 296.</p> <p>1. I am a student who is not allowed to work and my parents worked hard to pay the initial amount, where the hell am I suppossed to get that money from?</p> <p>2. What consitutes that ridiculous increase?</p> <p>3. Why was I not notified of this increase beforehand? I would have gone to a different medical aid company</p> <p>4. You are in breach of contract because I signed up on R290 a month</p> <p>5. If anything happens to me today I am not covered yet paid for a year</p> <p>6. YOU HAVE TO HONOUR YOUR CONTRACT</p> <p> </p>
