anxiety and frustration caused by AlexForbes and the consultants

I submitted my 2pot application on the 04/09/2024, I called and advised that the banking details where incorrect which I sent the documents on the 10/09/2024 as the system was giving glitches. I called to confirm if the banking details and ID copy where received and I was told I did not need to send, as the information will be received from my employer. I called again on the 13/09/2024 and I was advised I needed to send documents which were done again. I was further asked to speak to a Team leader. A lady by the name of Jasmine took my call and reassured me that the documents were received as I copied her on the email. She further stated that she would keep me posted once the banking details have been updated, till today no call or email from her. I checked my application and seemed like the application is still stuck on claim registered with 4 days. The 4 days is defiantly incorrect as the application was submitted 17 days ago. The reason I checked was because she had advised that I could log into the AF portal and check, the results are unsatisfactory. I was not saying she should push my application however I was simply asking for her to update and advise as promised. I am so frustrated because my 20 days ends on the 03/10/204 but I'm not sure if the details have been amended or not. Please advise if one should recapture the application and submit or if I should just forget about the request I put through for a portion of my money. This has been a stressing and frustrating encounter with AF. I just needed a portion of my funds, that's all. I am very disappointed with the service provided.

This was not a reply but the same acknowledgement email you sent on the 24th. You clearly care less about your clients. I would have gone all out for my clients. Get a better understanding as to what is going on and how you will assist. Your response is a copy and paste and defiantly does not address the issue. My question was do I need to resubmit my application or forget about my money. You have been investigating since the 24th and today is the 1st and my 20th day is in two days. I won't be surprised to be informed that we cannot see your application since you really don't have answers to most questions. As I advised that a leader was meant to communicate after reading this she was suppose to call or email back as courtesy πŸ˜’ πŸ™„ we cannot teach you how to respond

Every time the application gets to 5 days it's goes back to 0days tge investigation number 2. Leader just rep**** with jargon not educational or break down. This a response just for the sake of responding 🀣 this is a joke straight

I'm not sure if thus line is taken serious or just typed because it is part of the English grammar."At Alexander Forbes, our clients are important to us" Jasmine the team leader still has no feedback for me. Today is day 19 and counting. The amount withdrawn is going to Pau for my phone bill as I keep calling and get disconnected by the consultants.

" We will investigate your query and provide feedback with the contact details provided." How long does that take πŸ€”. Should I reapply I ask again because clearly this issue will not be finalized by tomorrow.
