Fed Up

What a nightmare attempting to claim back a consultation fee I had to pay up front. First I get no response to my e-mail with the statement from the doctor in question. I had to chase that up. I eventually to a reply to say part of the claim was paid on 11 March, 2022. To date, the 23rd of March, I have received nothing. In my original e-mail I detailed my new banking details so I don't know if the money was paid into my old account which I no longer have access to. Who knows? It remains a mystery as Discovery can't seem to be bothered to let me know what is going on. I am beyond fed up. If I had known it would be such a nightmare I would've kept the statement to claim the total amount back from SARS.

I have to tell you - if there is one thing that makes my blood boil with anger then it's a glib copy and paste response. It says "how awful - don't expect us to do anything about it". And it begs the question: am I the only one this happens to? I am really angry.

Wow - instead of being helped I have someone call me and make me feel an utter fool for not magically knowing that your staff in claims only capture, don't respond to queries, don't reply to e-mails. Insanity. I have just paid a hefty price thanks to your deeply communications-flawed system. I feel quite sick in the stomach after all the bureaucratic red tape I've just had shoved down my throat. Nauseating.
