****med by Clientele Life

In 2008 i took out a policy that i was told it was an educational plan for my son little did i know it was a saver and protector plan. Well i kept paying for the policy from then till 2019 when i lost my job. So me thinking it was a plan where i was saving money for my son i did not do any follow up how to cash out the money simply because i did not want to use the money as it was for my sons college tuition.

Yesterday i called clientele to figure out how to claim the money and i was told that my policy lapsed and since i was not making any more paying since 2020 out of the 24 000 i payed till 2019, because of their interest and charges i will only receive R937. I saved my hard earned money for 11 years and now they tell me i can only receive R937 when i was paying R356.

I asked them to send me the initial contact that i signed so i can see where it stipulates that if i fail to continue with the payment that they will take from my cash out money and they refused and i also asked them to send me the formula they used to calculate those interests and charges they also refused cos i failed to understand how can their charges and interest for 4 yrs be R23 000. I also asked them about the interest of the policy since i believe it matured after 10 yrs they also failed to give me information on that too

I want my money back, i worked hard for that money.

Well im not happy with the outcome. On the 24th of April i received a called and was promised that an investigation will be done and i will get a clear explanation on what happened to my money because according to their system the money that i was supposed to receive in 2020 was R9900 and no one got back to me with the explanation instead i just received an sms saying that my enchantment is R845.22 meaning it has even reduced from the R935. If i don’t get the money i paid for 11years they can keep that R845.22 just like they did with the rest of it. Because no one can explain to me where is my money. My hard earned money that i worked so hard for to save for my son.

They still failed to give me the contract i signed that proves that i have agreed to their ridiculous terms and conditions. I still don’t understand why they are refusing to pay back my money, i don’t care about their interest all i want is the money I PAID that’s it. How does an investment lapse?
