Discovery *****ing our money

My husband had a policy with Discovery, going now for almost 10 years. Firstly we were led to believe it is a study policy for my son, only to find out this year that this policy will only pay out in the event of my husband's death.

We then decided to cancel this policy, and an email was sent on 25 September 2018 requesting the cancellation. My husband received a reply that they will require a written & signed letter, which he completed and sent through on 1 October 2018. On 2 October 2018 he received a reply, saying his request has been send to the Cancellations Department.

On 17 October he sent a follow-up email, saying he has had no feedback/response yet. He did not receive a reply.

This morning he saw that Discovery again deducted the amount for the policy, even though we cancelled in time (30 days notice).

We want a refund immediately, and want to find out who is going to cover his banking fees.

Reviewer Update
My complaint was not resolved. I informed you on the 2nd of November that you deducted money even though the policy was cancelled at the end of September. It is now 19 November, and I still have not received my refund. Now you say you have requested the refund and are waiting for approval, and the refund will take 3 - 5 business working days. I want my money today. Not tomorrow or next week, TODAY.
