BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!M194

I have a preservation fund with Alexander Forbes this company is such a **** they have been deducting financial advisor fees from my savings since 2017 and when I ask them to remove this as no financial advisor has contacted me since 2017 they do not respond to any of my emails when you call them they tell you it will be escalated to the relevant department but nothing happens they don't provide feedback nor do they contact you back. NOT IMPRESSED WITH ALEXANDER FORBES CUSTOMER SERVICE

Good day Alexander Forbes

I am not happy with your service at all I get a call to be told that I am being charged a service fee for emails that are sent out to me which is not true. Alexander Forbes is deducting a service fee for administration of R501.75 and a service fee of R1115.02 statement period 01-03-2021 to 31-08-2021. . As per Alexander Forbes document the small print states that ongoing fees which are administration fee(appointed administrator) and service fee(appointed financial advisor) I do not have a financial advisor I did not get appointed one since January 2017.

I have not been appointed a financial advisor since January 2017 and Alexander Forbes has been deducting the service fee from my account. I need Alexander Forbes to explain to be who has been getting this amount from my account to date?

As per call from Alexander Forbes this service fee which is supposedly being paid to a financial advisor is being paid to the company. This does not make any sense based on the statement I received for period 01-03-2021 to 31-08-2021. sounds ********** to me. R1115.02 for sending me emails only??
