Waiting over a month for a simple statement - no response

This is my third separate complaint on this grossly *********** company in less than 12 months.

I tried to request a contribution statement via telephone in March and I had to end the call because they took so long to answer (more than 10 minutes)

I then requested a statement via email on 13 March 2024 and received a reply on 18 March stating I will receive feedback in 2-3 days.

It is now 16 April 2024 and I have not received feedback nor the statement of contributions I requested.

The service is similar or worse than government departments. The fact that I am still waiting more than a month later for a simple statement reflects that they are operating with no processes or management oversight. My absolute worst customer experience from a private company in SA.

Many thanks to Dipuo Fakude (Client Liaison Officer) for assisting me with this complaint. I have promptly received the statement I requested over a month ago. I hope Dipuo's colleagues at Alexander Forbes can emulate this high quality and level of service.
