Staff cannot sort out a new membership

<p>My father passed away. Had such drama making my mother the main member. Their pension scheme pays part of the contribution and I pay the rest. They have advised they are going to debit the full amount from my mothers bank account tomorrow. Pamela gives me a totally different amount and appeared not to read my query at all. Can never sort out a query with Medshield. They always send me an email asking me to rate their response to my query, and there has been none. Here we go again...</p>

If you debit my mother's account tomorrow I will escalate this. It has been made quite clear that she is STILL ON MY FATHER'S PENSION FUND AND THEY PAY THE BULK of the contribution. I have already paid the balance for November !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi Karin,

Although telephonically you said my mother's account was in credit, two amounts were debited to her account yesterday. Please advise when the 905.98 and 1973.85 will be refunded.

Hi Karin,

I emailed Pamela at the beginning of the year to find out what my mother's portion for 2017 is. She emailed back an unchanged amount. This is obviously incorrect, as my mother has now been informed that she is in arrears. What would you like me to do to prevent the same drama we had before ?

Regards
