Formal Complaint Regarding Poor Service from Consultant Boitumelo Ntuli

Formal Complaint Regarding Poor Service from Consultant Boitumelo Ntuli

Dear Clientèle Life Customer Service,

My name is Nompilo Radebe, and I am extremely disappointed with the service I received today from one of your consultants, Boitumelo Ntuli. I had contacted your customer service with a simple request to cancel my policy, but the manner in which I was treated was highly unprofessional and unacceptable.

Firstly, when I asked for her name and surname, she refused to provide it, stating that it was “not a must” due to security reasons. I find this response completely unacceptable, as transparency should be a standard in customer interactions. After insisting, I was eventually given her surname.

Secondly, I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude throughout the call. The worst part of the interaction was when she asked me what other language we could speak, implying that I did not understand English. This was both offensive and unprofessional. Such behavior is not only unacceptable but also damaging to Clientèle Life’s reputation.

On a positive note, I would like to commend Nthabeleng, who later assisted me with my request in a professional and respectful manner. She took the time to apologize for the poor service I had previously received and clearly explained the cancellation procedure. Her excellent customer service deserves recognition.

However, I believe that Boitumelo Ntuli’s behavior requires immediate attention. I expect a formal apology for the way I was treated and strongly recommend that she undergoes additional training on professional customer service and communication. No client should have to experience such rudeness when reaching out for assistance.

I trust that you will take this matter seriously and provide feedback on the actions taken
