Declined policy claim. Broken hearted client

I'm Malefu Mo***eng .I'm writing this with a very heavy heart. My niece passed on on the 7th January 2025 due to drowning accident. I than went to claim at Capitec bank as I had a policy with them. To my surprise after several attempts the claim was declined. What I don't understand is that the first consultant told me that the claim was approved and finalized. When I tried after I saw that the claim has not been paid, I tried again and was told that was not successful as they had they had no acc number to pay the claim to, mind you I have an account with them. I tried again and was told the child was not an extended family and failed to understand what an extended family member means to them and lastly I was told our surnames were not the same. Cutting matters short I had to borrow money to conduct as I'm the only bread winner. I'm left with debts which I cannot afford to pay. I'm heartbroken because we pay policies to assist us during these trying times like these. When I first took the policy I wasn't told of anything that could affect the policy from being payed. I still feel that they need to pay for what they did. I've been battling with depression because of the debts they put me in.

The nerve of you calling with more excuses, how did you expect me to call my sister's grandchild in English. You were fine while deducting the money in my account. Is there a space where I should have clearly described my relationship with the deceased on your application form. Capitec disgusts me and I'm yet to move to another bank and before that I'd be lodging a case with the ombudsman. And I'd give an honest opinion to people wanting to use your services.
