Breach of Contract

Good day<br> <br> Kindly note that I spoke to Danelle in August. And it was confirmed via telephonic conversation that I will be paying R924 due to me being on Retirement. I called today and was advised my installment will be on the highest amount because they did not get documents (my 3 months bank statements). I will not supply my 3 months bank statements as this shows I am receiving money due to me only being on retirements from the 1 September 2015. This is breach of contract, they can pull the recording and correct there problems, or they can get a letter from my employer stating I have retired.

Hello stanton.chantell,

Thank you for your comment.

The Scheme introduced the KeyCare series in 2003 and based the contributions on different levels of members' income. This is to ensure the affordability and sustainability of these health plans, for both our members and the Scheme. The contributions for KeyCare Plans are based on income. In managing the benefits and cover on KeyCare Plans, the Scheme must make sure we continue to provide a high level of cover at affordable rates. Verifying income ensures that we can uphold and grow these health plans to the benefit of low-income market.

To verify a members income we do require certain documentation such as a bank statement, proof of income etc. This is to ensure that the process is fair to members. I have sent further details relating to your query via email.

Regards
Jashvir
