ABSA continues with bad services

Good day,

I am writing to express my continued concern regarding the outstanding insurance documentation that I have repeatedly requested and have yet to receive. To date, no documents have been provided explaining the nature of the cover, benefits, or terms of the insurance charged on my account.

I am disappointed by the level of service received thus far. It is concerning that communication from your organisation appears to focus primarily on notifying clients of premium increases—often communicated within the same month—while failing to adequately address fundamental customer requests such as providing policy documentation. Many organisations provide advance notice of several months for such increases, which allows clients sufficient time to make informed decisions.

For clarity, I do not object to paying for an insurance product. However, it is unreasonable and unfair to expect payment for a product that cannot be clearly explained and for which no documentation has been supp****. I am requesting the relevant policy documents to ensure that I fully understand the cover in place and to protect myself as a client.

Please treat this request as urgent and provide the outstanding documentation without further delay. Continued lack of response reflects poorly on customer service standards and does not align with fair customer treatment.

I trust that this matter will now receive the necessary attention.

Kind regards, Yvonne Matlhaela

Thank you for the information.
I also checked on this one and no policy number could be found.
Do you perhaps the policy number or the policy offer reference?
When was the policy taken up?

Best regards,

FM

Thank you, Ma'am.

Do you remember what exactly you took on this policy? What is exactly covered?

Best regards,

 Hi,This policy has been added to my vehicle account, yet I have never received any documentation explaining what the policy covers. This is the reason I requested clarity. Unfortunately, instead of receiving the required information, I am being asked the same questions I am seeking answers to.I am formally requesting the full policy documents that clearly explain the cover, benefits, exclusions, and costs associated with this policy. Without these documents, I am unable to understand or verify what I am being charged for.I initially raised this concern on the first day the letter was sent to me, but I did not receive any response. Despite this, the debit order has gone through today while I am still awaiting answers. This is unacceptable.Please treat this matter as urgent. Should I not receive the full policy documentation and a clear explanation without further delays, I will have no option but to escalate this matter to the Ombudsman, as I am being given the runaround with no resolution or way forward.I look forward to your immediate response.Kind regards,
Yvonne Matlhaela

Thank you for your reply.
The only way that Avaf will add a policy against your account is in an instance where you have not submitted proof of an outside insurance.

I will escalate the file to them to obtain clarity?

Is your vehicle insured? If so, please forward us proof of cover not older than a month. Thank you.

Best regards,

FM
