Frustration to claim your own funds

I had a provident dund with forbs for 1 year. I had been paying for this every month. When i leave the company they tell me i cant with draw my money. Only the employer can. Since the employer is not sending my docs ro forbs i would assume i would be able to claim my money on my behalf. Othee companies like liberty alow me to with draw my money. Why cant i do it with forbs. The agents keep telling me i they cant help me. Only my previous employer can with draw the funds. When i ask to speak to a manager the agent keeps saying that there is no managers on the floor. I have been hearing this story for a month. I am not sure if forbs is steeling my money or there service is just horrible. I need a benefit statement showing my policy number and the amount i had invested monthly. I am told i can get it of the web site. When i download it of the website it is not a full statement. The consultants keep saying they cant send me the statement. I am very disappointed in the service from forbs. They always have a reason why they can't help and never a way to help. Once i have claimed my funds from forbs i will never make use of any of their services. They are hopeless and can make the most calm person so furstrated to the point where we can complain to every person about forbs. Thanks for the horrible service forbs.

Kusha Naidoo(this is a generic response that forbs send to all the complaints. However i do not see any resolved. Please do not respond in with this generic response to my complaint. Responde with a solutio as i am adding all responses to all social media platforms as well as taking the case to the ombudsman. Consumers should not be fighting to get their own money from a company we trusted to keep our retifement money for us for when we retire.

If we as consumers are struggling to get our money back after a year or. 2 of invesring with forbs. How do we trust them to keep our retirement funds for 50 years. When you retire will forbs give your money back? How many excuses will they give us when it comes to claim our money. The trust relationship is broken and when it comes to a retirement fund. Trust is the biggest thing.
