*********** staff: Unable to update my monthly life policy amount

On 20 July 2018 I contacted the Discovery life helpdesk in order to upgrade my monthly premium to R350 as I wanted to join Vitality. I was advised that I would be sent a quote as they cannot increase the premium with verbal instructions (Quotation ********** 090 -MailRef# ********** 485#-). I then completed the quote which was sent to me and scanned it back as per request. I was then sent multiple emails regarding missing information from my forms which I completed and submitted. I followed up regarding the progress of my claim and I was still advised that they are busy processing it and that all will be finalized by latest 1 August 2018. It is now 6 August 2018 and my policy is still not updated. Furthermore I changed banks and Discovery still processed the debit order from my previous account even after they confirmed that the account details have been updated for my July debit order date. This process is taking forever unnecessarily and these delays are wasting my time and money. I will not be in-charge of paying the penalty fee from the bank for the unpaid debit order. Also when I first called in requesting the premium change the consultant that I spoke to advised that he can gladly transfer me to the cancellation department when I was advising regarding my feelings towards the fact that I do not get any money back for all my claim free years. It is disgusting and disappointing that an agent would be so quick to suggest such instead of making me see the benefits of the cover that I am paying for monthly with my own hard earned money.

Reviewer Update
Morning Habibah, your people are still not assisting. I have received another email requesting for the same information which I have supp****. Again the debit order with my previous bank is being processed incorrectly. This is resulting in increasing unpaid debit order charges which I will not be paying for as Discovery was informed and confirmed receipt of my new banking details. If you guys are unable to assist me with my request can you let me know so that I can cancel this cover and seek cover with another company that will not give me such issues. I do not understand what is so difficult with processing my request and confirming the changes that I have requested. Honestly I do not understand why it has taken so long to process and my request is still "pending" with constant nonsense emails requesting information which I have provided.
