CLIENTELE IS NOT AN HONEST COMPANY! DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER

I'm a very upset and disappointed customer of Clientele Life with how I have been treated when I submitted a cancellation of my policy of 20 years with the company!!! It has been over a month since I requested for a cancellation only to receive a response over two weeks to acknowledge my request and they claimed to make payment within 7 days. A form was sent that I completed and had to submit a certified ID, proof of residence and the completed form all of these have been submitted to Clientele with the reference number given by them, still no acknowledgment of my submission. It has been over 7 days of which I still have not received any payment. As a long-committed customer to this company, I am hugely disappointed by this type of behaviour and service!

I also forgot to mention that for me to get a response after two weeks of my request, I had to send a threatening email that I was going to report and expose Clientele bad service to the financial ombudsman and to hellopeter. I no longe trust Clientele, it saddens me that I had to write to this platform to get a prompt response. After over a month of communicating with Clientele about cancellation of my 20 years policy. You need to do better!

Dear Clientele
I am still waiting for my policy payment. The last email you sent on 31st December said payment will take 24/ 48 hours. It is 6 days later, and I have still have not been paid. Why is Clientele refusing to pay my policy? I have submitted everything you've asked from me. I have never had this type of issue with any insurance. This is very ******* Clientele.

I really do hope my query will be escalated and be sorted. At this point I feel this response is giving false hope that my query will be dealt with. Yet the experience I've had thus far implies that there's no escalation that is taking place. To date it has been back and forth communication with this marketing conduct and still my query has not been resolved. I am regretting investing my money with Clientele Life. I'm feeling like I have been ****med by such a big company.
