Outsurance changes your debit order without consent

My wife and I were shocked to discover that our debit order amount had been increased without our consent or being notified of such..we called in to investigate and were told that our premium increased due to our risk profile and thus the readjustment.. After a lengthy argument about the injustice of this the advisor said he could offer us a better deal to lower our premium.. Obviously as an attempt to keep us from cancelling our policies.. We requested the offer to be emailed to us so that we could make an informed decision as to whether or not we would accept the new offer...we were told that nothing would change unless we respond to the email.. We procrastinated reading the email and two days prior to the debit order going off decided to leave it as is. To our dissatisfaction the debit amount had again been changed as if we had accepted the new offer. Murphy's law then appeared in our midst and we were involved in a vehicle accident.. The new offer now stipulates that we pay an excess of R4200 instead of our original R1100...we have been in discussion with them for approximately 4 weeks to resolve the matters and keep getting empty promises and no feedback unless we actually call in and make a fuss...we are at our wits end and cannot deal with such unprofessional behavior.. We have requested a copy of the conversation in question and keep hearing different excuses of why its not been supp**** to us yet..I am beginning to suspect that they are tampering with the recording to omit the part where they confirm nothing will change..furthermore the manager Tshepiso Langa displayed a horrible attitude and no sense of urgency to the matter...we are sick and tired of being the victim after being such loyal customers

Good day,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We contacted you to discuss all your concerns in detail. Your premium increased due to the annual re-rate and there were claims in the re-rate period which subsequently increased your premium. After you received the re-rate you called in as you were not happy with the increase. We managed to reduce your premium by updating underwriting and we increased your excess which you agreed to. All documentation was emailed to you notifying you of the new changes. You requested all recordings to be sent to you however there was a delay in sending the last recording which has now been sent to you.

Sorry for the delay in sending you all recordings.

Thanks, OUTsurance

So I've mustered up the energy to respond to this response... Incorrect.. You did not mail me the new terms of our policy in time...we did not agree to any changes...you went ahead and changed things as you did before...an incomplete recording was sent to us and when I pointed this out you quickly came up with a new excuse that " oh...we see there is a second part of the conversation "...when this CD is sent it arrives broken and therefore we could not listen to it...regardless of that in the first CD I clearly request for the new offer to be emailed so that we can better discuss the terms and then respond...we made no response and decided to leave our policy as is but you changed it anyway....however you state in your response that there is no error on your side?....sick and tired of this...yes we will be cancelling all of our policies with Outsurance..
