Seven weeks ago I changed my private health insurance provider because the new one had a far better deal and was cheaper. For one thing, as a 57-yr-old male I have no use for pregnancy or IVF cover, for which I'd been paying with the old fund. The new mob sent a request to change notice to the old one which was ignored & for the next 6 weeks I was paying premiums to two different providers.
Last week I managed to get the old fund to stop stealing my money. But they still thought I was a member despite hving switched over a month previously. Still no sign of reimbursement.
The new fund sent a second request thru to the old and simultaneously I start chasing up a refund via Twitter.
This was successful: I'll have the excess $251 tomorrow.
