Pathetic service

In May 2019 I added my aunt on my Ultimate Dignity Plan policy from clientele to which I was told that she will be covered after the first premium. The policy rule reads as follows; l Extended Family can be added/removed at any time. Cover and waiting periods for the additional Extended family will start from the first premium paid after they have been added. This morning I called clientele logging a claim for my aunt, to which I was told about the 12 month waiting period that has not been reached in order for the claim to be processed. to my surprise, I am told that my aunt is not covered and the claim has been rejected due to the fact that she is on the 11-month approaching 12th. to which was never included in their policy documents. I am very disappointed with their service and they keep lying to people that they deliver to their promises to which the only thing they do best is to rob people of their dignity. I am highly disappointed and I am even thinking of canceling this nonsense because this not the first time my family is experiencing problems with this company and its false promises. I had canceled my plans with clientele in the past and they kept calling and promise to fix all the issues they had. this seen to be a norm for them to treat people with disrespect.
