AVBOB continuously deducts premiums of a deceases policy member.

AVBOB continues to withdraw the premiums of your deceased member. Then ignores all your complaints, emails and calls to stop it.

My father passed away in July, the funeral claim of R10400 was paid out. Thereafter AVBOB kept the member active, as if alive, on my policy and not stopped deducting premiums. If you call AVBOB's call center it ALWAYS hangs up. Try it right now. After the voice prompts the call will end.

Complaining on the self-service portal yields zero results. They don't call you back as promised. I then sent many emails complaining to *** as well as ***. They called back once, and never refunded my money, they only promised to.

I even went into the branch, and I was even asked to submit my bank account as proof of account to deposit the refund. Yet my dashboard still displays my late father as an active member. His premium looks set to be deducted again 3 months after his passing. This is highly unnerving when grieving.

The debit order date will be coming up soon and I am sure that they will simply deduct again and again thereafter ignore my complaints and requests for refund.

Reviewer Update
AVBOB stated on Hello Peter that they are working to resolve my complaint. They never resolved my complaint. Even after such aong time. Instead they say the will deduct DOUBLE the premium this month. I am SO glad I took another policy with MiWay. They pay up to R50000 for FAR less than AVBOB'S premium. At this rate of customer service, it HIGHLY UNLIKELY that they will ever process any payout. My complaints are jist being shelved. See the message below. And my premiums are due to be deducted on Friday. AVBOB Policy AL***A8 Due to non-payment 2 premiums will be deducted shortly. Please ensure funds are available or contact us on ***. No claim will be acknowledged if premiums are not paid to date.
