Avbob *****

My wife realized that Avbob had been taking money off her payslip for months. We then went to Avbob to check who made the policy. Turns out it was a *****ulent policy. The manager at the East London branch then promised to close the policy and that it wouldn't take any more money. We left it at that. Months passed but the policy keeps taking money. We went to the police and opened a case. The Warren officer told us that avbob will do their own investigation and then refund our money. We went back to the branch and filled in forms there and promises were made. 3 weeks later and we still have to heard anything back. No acknowledgement of an investigation or anything. At the moment we can't trust Avbob, policies were made without any consent and Avbob doesn't seem to be worried about that. What about the POPI act? Identity *****? Knowingly contuing a *****ulent policy.

Good day,

We have received no updates on the matter and it's already February 2025.
The policy is still deducting and we have given you so much time, yet there is no refund and no apology.

Dear Avbob

Two days have past and I have yet to receive any update. If it is not resolved by the end of this week I will legal action, because now you are knowingly withholding our money which is theft. We have submitted all documents you requested and still you have not been bothered

You have sent this automated response before. Please finalize our matter. I'm starting to really hate the avbob group and what they stand for. An honest company would have sorted the matter, pressed charges against those responsible and given back the money it owed. This is a ******** matter after all.

Dear Avbob

We have given you months to sort out the case yourself and you have dodged us at every turn. On Monday 3 March 2025, we will lay charges against Avbob at the police station and also contact the Oubudsman.

Unfortunately this is our only course of action as you did not do your part.

Matter still not resolved. Busy going the legal route. It's unfortunate that a big company like this, do such things.

Still no news from Avbob. We have received no payments, emails or sms stating when they will pay. Avbob has shown that they will not resolve this issue. Avbob, you have ****** from us. You are involved in ******* activities. And I will expose this even if I have to go to the papers. You have ********* business practices.

Some money was received. Was not the full amount, but we are happy that Avbob rectified the problem. However all is not forgiven, money was indeed short and it took us years to have this matter sorted. I information was still *******ly obtained by Avbob, so getting a bit of money, was nice, but this is nothing compared to what Avbob put us through. We were treated like ********s at their East London branch and had to fight every step of the way. Unfortunately I will never forget this experience and I will never entertain any avbob agents at my work place.

Actually not all premiums... But that's fine as long as we never have to deal with Avbob again.
