Bad... Horrible Experience with Clientele Life

I had a bad experience with Clientele.i had opened up a policy with Clientele this year around june so i was a premium payer so i had covered two family members one which was my main member unfortunately he passed on the very same month to which they had not deducted my first premium and it was an accidental death so to my understanding they said the cover will be active the minute I get my policy number which i did on the Same-day day so now when i made a claim everything was fine they took like two months reviewing the documents and they told me that all the paperwork is in order its just that they cant make a claim they will have to wait until the investigation is over to my understanding the investigation may take like 10 yrs or even more especially if its an accidental death. So that was their verdict so no payment nothing these people have no idea of what I've been through..going around borrowing money for the burial having to sell some furniture at home so that the burial can go ahead.what a bunch of lies they tell us and promise only to be hit like you're hit by a truck.No one can ever be ready or alert when it comes for an unexpected death. Until today I'm still drowning in debt i even lost my job another terrible sad story.im now depending on social grant..what a terribl3 year.but what i meant was i cannot ignore the pain that was caused by Clientele in my life.

Now i don't understand suddenly you have no idea about the cause of the death when its point black in those documents. How about you review those documents or do you want me to resend the documents.because i had made contact with the Investigating officer and he told me that he was never contacted by Clientele after this response that you people are waiting for the SAPS.

I got a call from Clientele on the 5th Jan they asked me to wait until the first week of February since they'll be doing their investigations with regards to my case but now it looks i have to give them a call hence they are quiet because i believe we have passed the first week of February.and since i was not given dates so i have 2 guess that by now they should done.
