Pathetic follow up service caused my name being blacklisted/defaulted.

Absolutely flabbergasted at the sheer ignorance of Discovery. I had medical aid through my previous company who used Discovery and as soon as I changed employer I wanted to move the medical aid to my name. I sent them a mail asking how to proceed to get the medical aid on my name. I phoned them numerous times to get it done but to no avail. After a while I received a mail stating that my membership has been cancelled and now I owe them R1225 for the savings that was used up. Without my consent, without anyone explaining that I will be owing them anything after cancellation of membership, without feedback or anything my membership was cancelled and now I owe them.

Low and behold now I am given over to ITC and cant even get internet with my current credit check. I went into Discover this morning and they could confirm my email that I requested to move membership to my own name but nowhere could they confirm of anyone calling me to inform me of owable amounts or to confirm if I want the membership cancelled...

Cost me now that I have to pay ITC just to clear my name in order to get Internet... MY WORD!!!!

Seriously, It feels like a stranger came off the streets and demanded R1000 or else he would blacklist me....

This is pathetic. They can't prove jack but I just have to pay to keep my name clean!

Nice auto reply! Just to get my Internet I had to pay now because this is apparently the norm. Get accused and just pay to clear your name. Additionally you have to pay admin penalties for who ever your name was given over! Pathetic system.

You have been in touch but you have not answered anything. Simply stating what I already know and wrote about does not answer anything. On the phone I was told that you would investigate....

As per the discussion. Please stop trying to call me as you are clearly unable to supply any factual evidence of informing me on any amounts that I will owe Discovery. No evidence of anyone contacting me before my policy was cancelled. I am done with this debate and will never use Discover ever again.
