Fooled into contract by being untruthful

I am wording this review as nicely as I can because my previous review was removed.

Myself and my wife was invited and attended a presentation of VHI on 10 Dec 2018. Our personal consultant on the night was John Bellardi. He sold us a membership that was irresistible so we decided to join and sc****d together and swiped R9199 on a few different cards. He said that the usual price for membership is around R46000 but if we can get it at a discount of around R26000 if we pay it within the first six months, which is basically what made us sign up. We asked and he said that's all we will pay for the full membership. After signing up my wife requested a settlement amount for the discount if paid within 6 months and we received a proforma invoice for R27500. We were happy with this as it was in the range promised by John, so for the next few months we saved every extra money we could and paid off the R27500 within the 6 months timeframe. We made our final payment at the end of May and requested confirmation that the account has been settled. That is when they dropped the bomb on us.

They said that we still owe over R20 000 on the membership and that we will still need to pay around R500 per month for the next 120 months(10 years) increasing 8% each year.

We explained via numerous emails & telephone calls that this is not what we were promised by John but to no avail. He was untruthful with the promises he made and all we want is this issue resolved. Even if our contract is cancelled. We feel we were fooled into signing that contract. After some research we found that there are numerous people in the same boat as us.
