Clientele Service is not up to standard. False Promises and waste of money

I feel like I pay my premiums every month for nothing. I have asked for assistance with a small matter of recovering an amount of under R30k in November 2022. The matter dragged on with the 1st attorney and eventually reached court, with a court judgment in our favour. Clientele even accepted monthly payments for the amount, which was supposed to be paid to us from December 2024. We never received a single payment. On notifiying Clientele, we found that the attorney handling the matter was no longer responding. The matter was then handed to another attorney who started investigating the matter at the beginning of 2025. To date, there has been no movement, no resolution, no payments received. The person owing the moneys was in clear default of the judgment, yet nothing has happened to him either. It is now 2026 . Over 3 years later ! I could have rather saved my premiums for that period and it would have been better than waiting 3 years, for nothing!

Good day Alfred, Despite your apology and assurance to provide support, I have still not received such since these posts in January. I received a call from your consultant to say that they are escalating the matter, and thereafter, we receive no information or no responses to our emails. The service received, after promises upon promises is pathetic. Even worst is that after Clientele had issues debiting my new bank account, they had the nerve to send me a letter of demand, even though I was in touch with them on multiple occasions to resolve the banking debits issue. I found it hilariously to get a letter of demand, yet they can't go after the actual people that owe me money, for which I have been paying them to provide a service, still not received.

Alfred, clearly Clientele and its attorney has no idea of the meaning of the word Urgent!
The service received is useless. Cost me more in premiums than the claim was worth. Decided to cut my losses and cancel all policy’s with Clientele. I would not recommend this company to anyone, EVER!
