No communication and delayed payouts

Submitted documentation on 9 June 2025 with no feedback at all. Enquired three times and was told on 05 August 2025 I have to resubmit the documentation, further delaying the process by another 6 weeks. I am appalled by the lack of communication with clients and a very slack attitude around client service.

Reviewer Update
For all the promises of feedback and attention to my claim, Alexander Forbes has not adequately addressed my questions. I was promised feedback today, 20 August by their Customer Service representative. No feedback received and I, yet again, had to enquire as to the status of my claim. With the forecasted 7-14 business days, this will bring the process to 15 weeks to finalise a claim. The 15 weeks is of course a lot longer than the 6-8 weeks promised on the forms clients are required to complete or the 8-10 weeks operators tell clients. No one can give me a definitive answer and date by which the claim will be finalised, which ironically makes any sort of financial planning impossible.
