Poor Service - Over 2months awaiting refund.

My name is Lindiwe Ndziba. My dad passed on 20 July 2021. Avbob Ladybrand was engaged for the funeral services. I paid the invoice promptly of R38k. Closer to the funeral date of 31 July 2021, we engaged Avbob regarding changing the time due to our church not being assist us at a time that corresponded with Avbob. Avbob indicated that they could not assist we had to find another undertaker to do the funeral service etc. Avbob assured us that they would be able to provide us a refund for services they did not provide. I then processed the refund via avbob ladybrand all documents submitted. It is 21 October 2021 i follow up weekly no refund received. I received extremely poor services and communication. This claim is under *** Ndziba. This is a substantial refund of money i had to borrow and now i am inconvenienced. This has been tragic especially during this mourning process. I dont think i can be able to trust Avbob anymore. Ladybrand i have been engaging a lady named Maria, she keeps telling me that Avbob head office is delaying this matter and she doesn't know why they not processing. She never calls me back i honestly dont know what kind of service this is.

Hi,
Its over 24 hours from your response no one has contacted me yet. I called Avbob Ladybrand yesterday again, she indicated she will follow up with head office she did not call back. I called her today to follow up she says head office is still busy with the claim. Im confused by the lack of communication, not even email correspondence. I ask is there an issue with the claim she indicated no. All documents needed submitted. Whats the delay ? no response. the lady Maria i deal with has now somehow disappeared and now a lady named rethabile is answering the calls. This is extremely disappointing that even after my formal complaint here no one has tried to contact me and it is almost close of business now. I am waiting.

I note that it is the 26th of October 2021 19h00. Since laying my complaint and notifying Avbob that I have received no response no one has attempted to contact me. I have raised a complaint on the website as well.
