Increased Premiums!

<p>I have had my home contents and vehicle insurance policy in place with Discovery since 2014. At the end of February this year, I received an email from them advising that it is my policy anniversary in April and that they increased my premiums - by R771!</p> <p>They did not even take into account that just in December, I added my laptop and cellphone to my policy at cost of R400 extra!</p> <p>After my broker going back and forth and providing them with other competitive quotes, they reduced the new premium back to what it was. But I had to change my policy to different plan and my broker had to drop his commission in order to reduce my premium.</p> <p>And the only claim I put through since 2014 was for windscreen replacement in March this year.</p> <p>Here is the funny thing, on 1 May, they debited my account with another R300 extra. And their response is that <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><font color="#000000">the policy wasn’t in anniversary when they made the changes to reduce the premium. </font></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><font color="#000000">So basically they tried to pull the wool over our eyes and reduce the premiums for just a month, only take the opportunity to increase it again!</font></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><font color="#000000">What kind of company operates so slyly? </font></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><font color="#000000">And when a new premium is in place, doesn't that have to stick for atleast the next 12 months?</font></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><font color="#000000">Discovery Insure is a **** *******!
