Bad service started once they got my money.

Bought momentum medical aid through Optivest. Initially all went fine and I signed up. Some time later I realized they sold me medical cover from a highly questionable company, Momentum whose call center agents can't even understand basic English. Only after a few months in I received an email stating that my monthly payments will go UP about 10% despite me never claiming a single cent. With this I lost all trust in them and I cancelled everything with them after they sent me some antiquated PDF documents to fill out. I sent them multiple emails asking them to confirm receipt of the cancellation and to confirm that they will NOT be debiting my account any more. As expected I got no answers. They were very friendly and helpful when I contacted them initially to sign up, but after cancelling they (Dillon Powell and Aaron Cooper) has been ignoring my emails. If you want proper, honest insurance brokers, give "Optivest" a fat miss!

To people reading this: Look at all their other replies: It's all EXACTLY the same copy and paste routine.
I cancelled everything with them and I simply enquired if they received my cancellation. Sent multiple emails and as expected: NOTHING. It was a very simple query but now that they have my money it is of no financial benefit to them to answer my queries. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

 Hi Juan  We can confirm that your Momentum has been cancelled for the end of November.  The MedXpert Private client has also been cancelled, with no further debit order being deducted. We are awaiting feedback from Gap Risk regarding the cancellation of your Gap Cover.  This confirmation of cancellation will be sent to you directly, we will however do a final follow up to confirm that this was also done. 

Kind regards

Thank you. And all it took to get this done was numerous phone calls and numerous emails where I had to explain the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Time will tell if you will deduct money out of MY bank account but fortunately I now have something in writing should you try and pull a fast one like you did with many of your victims who complained on this platform. I can just Imagine the tedious and frustrating process of actually filing a claim. So yeah, you may have made a few bucks off me in the short term, but I dodged a massive bullet by cancelling.
Enjoy the money you made from me. Maybe use it to invest in some customer service training.
