Clientele took February premium but don’t want to payout the February claim

My name is Esther, I have been a loyal member of Clientele Life funeral policy . I have faithfully paid my premiums for years now without fail until I lost my job in October 2023.I paid my premiums for the month of November and could not pay for December and January. I got a job in February 2024 and lost my mom in the same month . I notified Clientele and lodged a claim , after a day I received a response for a rejection however in the same month of February they had double debited my account. When I called their offices to query the debit they said it’s for Jan and Feb. Why then am I being debited for the very same month they are refusing to cover me.

None of the consultants show empathy and they have my money for those months they are rejecting to pay for my claim. What then have I paid for if they don’t want to pay out the funeral claim for my mom.

This is the most absurd thing ever. If they took my February premiums and my mom died in February then I demand my claim to be paid in full.
