Unpaid funeral claims

I have a funeral policy with Capitec and in that policy I had included my uncle who recently passed away 3 weeks back. Then I went to Capitec to submit my claim with a hand written death certificate (from home affairs because my uncle had no ID or birth certificate he refused to take one when he was young due to being involved in ******** activities) , affidavit from the police stating that he was a South African citizen just refused to get a birth certificate, letter from the burial society and from the hospital. After submitting I got no response or an acknowledgement of the claim. After a week I enquired was told they don’t how long it will take …second week I kept enquiring then I was told to go to home affairs to get a letter stating why they issued out a hand written death certificate, when I went to home affairs they said they don’t issue such letters I can only get an affidavit from the police which I did but Capitec still insists that I get a letter they are not getting the fact that home affairs doesn’t issue such letters. They even debited my cash during these 3 weeks which means it’s easy for them to debit but not pay out. Now they are quiet. When I call they tell me that the funeral claims people can only respond via emails not calls imagine

Still having the same problem nothing has been solved. I’m being told to get a letter that home affairs people are saying they don’t issue my claim is still not processed 4 weeks later
