Worst client service ever

<p>My son turned 21 years old last year November 2016 and he had to take out his own medical aid. My husband app**** online for a membership at discovery health medical aid. We have app**** how many times we have forwarded so many documentation I have stopped counting. They contacted my son in Febraury 2017 for the first time and in April 2017 again. Untill to day the 5th of June 2017 my son is still not a member of the medical aid scheme. I phoned discovery health medical aid today after my husband has phoned them numerious times to and asked to speak to a manager or a supervisor I had to hold on for 20minutes for a manager where my phone call was just dropped I phoned again had to wait a further five minutes and spoke to the client Manager of Discovery health he pickes up my son's application he sees on their system they have contacted him 2 over 7 months and yet his still not a member when I ask for an answer on this as this is not exeptable for me he just rep**** but my son's application is outdated so I must apply once again. No response on why in 7 months its not been done I must apply again. Now please tell me how on heaven's earth does it take 7 months to apply to become a member of an medical aid. Unfortunetly discovery health has incompetant staff that work for them and this is way people get this freaken poor service I hope this gets posted for everyone to see. They do not care to treat clients proffisionally</p>

After months and months of calls and emails now you are interested in contacting after I put my complaint on HelloPeter. What makes me so angry is the person who contacted me doesn't even know untill now that my son has not got a medical aid from diacovery. I gave him my son's ID number and what does he say to me he can't help me as my son does not have a membership by them I need to give him all my son's information then they will update his membership and then they can tell me whats going on. I couldn't believe what this person was telling me. What the hell discovery how do you treat your future clients like this. You do not even have a stupid excuse why you have treated my son's application like you have and then you expect me to to apply for him agaihn!!! Are you crazy no one in their right mind will do that after been treated like he has.. I am sorry to say the staff that work for you are not compatent to do the work given to them and this is why people get treated like they do. This is not exceptable at all....

My husband phoned the guy and said how the hell can we keep on sending the forms through and when we two weeks have passed his looking for the same forms so to try and put your staffs k incompetance on myself, my husband of my son is not exceptable.

The reason I went on HelloPeter again I told my displeasure as its been over a year that we app**** for a membership for my son and you have no excuse to why this has happened I have phoned and fought with numerious people of the poor service and no one!!! no one ever came back to me I sent 3 to 4 emails to your customer services to lay a complaint do you know what came from that absolutely nothing!!! Yet after putting my story on HelloPeter I had your attention. No matter what you a say I have never ever worked with people that is so incompetant to do their work how long can it take to put a membership through Please tell me and how many times must a person apply online send the documetation through of an estimate of 6 months before someone starts doing their job Please tell me ???? I am so so angry with your company and you Brad as clearly as day you didnt read my emails through then you would know we tried everything and more to get membership for son app**** over and over again online.
