Non payment for my Aunt after she passed on due to an incorrect ID captured by Avbob employee

Lost my aunt in May 2024, sice then avbob has not paid for a policy and service has been very terrible from Mr Nkuzana to the supervisor Leesanne from complaints department. Im punished because an employee of avbob captured an id number of someone born in 1959 while my aunt was born in 1964. been paying premiums for the last 4 years today even while my aunt passed away. If you want to be even more frustrated when your loved one passes away join avbob.

i will cancel all the policies i have with avbob and go join the likes of sanlam, tjhis has been my worst nightmare just delaing with avbob employees.

Reviewer Update
Another response received from Avbob, that says they cannot process my claim because they understand i had an app i could have changed my details on. theres no courtesy call after waiting for another few weeks, no once cares that i have paid for this policy for so many years and there no advice what should happned as im still paying for my deceased Aunt. The admin Head Sinesipho who promissed to call after reading the review never called back even after hours of spend my airtime on calls lookinf for a feedback instead asked the subbordinate to throw me with the letter. what i do after no advose infact they do not even care. im done with avbob and will not recommend to anyone, the compny deals with sensitive services with the stuff that does not even care i hope i do not hear the name Avbob again.

i will not ba spending my energvy going throgh the so called ombuds and i do not have any confidence in any of avbob services.

Dear Avbob



Cancelation on policy number AL***X1 and AL***X6



I, Sipho Vika would like to cancel my policies with immediate effect after receiving poor services and from the company. I have exhausted all avenues and can no longer continue working with the company.



Kind Regards

S. Vika
