Sick to my stomach

I am thoroughly upset and frustrated regarding this matter. I moved my fiance over from his policy to mine as a spouse due to the fact that it works out cheaper. Added my inlaws to the policy as well. In the process i was not advised that i needed to cancel the old policy that my fiance was under, however i had discussed this with the admin that was assisting me. Surely if i am moving somebody over the old policy needs to be cancelled. As a result i was debited for 2 funeral covers. More so the old policy my fiance is under he was on it for over 2years, we have been advised that he has to start the 6 months waiting period again which i feel is ******* to say the least. I sent a complaint to Avbob 3 weeks ago and have not been contacted with a resolve. all the necessary info required to cancel the old policy have been submitted but today i get a message saying that 2 premiums will be deducted due to non payment. i am fed up to say the least and i am looking to take this further to the Ombud especially bcoz of the additional 6 months waiting period and bcoz apparently admins are not allowed to ask us if we want to cancel the old policies.

Reviewer Update
so if the complaint is still pending why are premiums being deducted for a policy that should be cancelled. you dare debit my account for that policy, i dare you. I dont think it can take 3 weeks for a complaint to be attended to. There should be an SLA and i fail to believe that you response time is a month to your clients.
