Failure to properly reconcile and trace payments
I am lodging this complaint because I have been trying to get Discovery/Flexicare to properly reconcile my account and explain how my payments were allocated, but I have not received a satisfactory answer. References: *** and ***
Initially, my monthly premium was R2,050, made up as follows:
Medical Aid: R1,397
Emergency/Trauma Benefit: R494
Vitality: R159
Total: R2,050
I was subsequently advised that the Emergency/Trauma Benefit was withdrawn effective 30 April 2026 and processed on 22 June 2026. Therefore, after its removal, my monthly premium should have been R1,556, being R1,397 Medical Aid + R159 Vitality.
However, there are payments during May to August 2026 that I need properly accounted for.
My actual payments include:
May 2026: R1,947 debit order
01 June 2026: R2,153 manual payment to Discovery Life Pty Ltd
July 2026: R2,038 debit order
01 August 2026: R1,397 debit order
03 August 2026: R653 manual payment to Discovery Life Pty Ltd
I have bank records confirming the manual payments of R2,153 on 01 June and R653 on 03 August.
Despite providing this information, I have received responses stating that there was no credit due and that the May and June Trauma Benefit debit orders were returned unpaid.
This does not answer my actual question: Where were the payments that I made actually allocated?
The reconciliation provided to me also reflects R0 billed and R0 received for the Trauma Benefit from May 2026 onwards, yet I made payments during this period that need to be traced and allocated correctly.
I am not asking for a generic billing explanation. I am requesting a transaction-by-transaction reconciliation showing:
Each payment received from me;
The date and amount of each payment;
The payment/reference used to identify it;
Which account/benefit the payment was allocated to;
Which month/invoice it was allocated against; and
Whether any amount remains incorrectly allocated, unallocated, or is due back to me.
I have attempted to resolve this directly with Discovery/Flexicare but have not received a clear reconciliation of my actual payments.
I am therefore escalating this matter through HelloPeter and requesting that someone review the account properly and provide a clear, payment-level reconciliation rather than simply referring me to the billing summary.
I have supporting bank statements and proof of payment available.
