Discovery insurance

Discovery insure was informed in September 2025 that I would be taking out insurance from another company. I was emailed that they received it and has sent it to their client retention department. I took out the new insurance and up to January 2026 Discovery kept trying to claim premiums from my account, costing me bank charges for debit orders not provided for. I have contacted Discovery about 3 times to get them to stop putting through the debit order but they have not come back to me. In February they tried another tactic by putting through the debit order on the 10th of February and it went through. I later reversed it but it cost me more than R100 in time lost at work and bank fees for reversing the debit order. Today (19 March 2026) I went onto my credit profile only to see that Discovery is still on my profile and that I still owe them a premium. To every body out there that thinks Discovery insurance is good, be careful, they do not do what they have to do when you decide not to use them anymore.
