1life Insurance rips off pensioners

My grandfather had a funeral cover with prosperity in roodeport which is under 1life. This agent came to our house and claimed she was doing stats on pensioners and took my grandfather's details and id number and sassa grant card number she never asked for anyone's details and asked who the daughter was and grand pa gave a name no ID number was required for the daughter the come month end September his grant slip showed a R130 debit for 1life and when we asked what he joined he had no idea. We went to sassa to inquire and were told they no involved bug had details of the insurance. Now he passed on and when we tried tracking them down we found them in boskruin office park and were assisted and completed a claim then the claims department called and apparently the daughter whose name was asked was put as a beneficiary and the date of birth was just a guessed date now documents don't correspond. And the agent is protected cause Charlene from claims department I. Deinfern promised to call back with the agent name so that she can come sort out this mess

This is absurd cause they target pensioners knowing very well no one will know and they will get away with. It all In The name of commission . this won't end here

I find this very disturbing that your company concludes that we are committing ***** by wanting your company to pay for what they have been deducting on my grandfathers Pension money 1life is a ******* and don't think we don't know our rights you have failed to honor your promise to your consumer and you are protecting your agents that means the ********* practice is part of training in your company
