Dear linda54

As per telephonic discussion with our Compliance Investigator, we have confirmed that your policy does not contain a Cash Back Benefit.

You have confirmed that you now have a better understanding of the manner in which the policy is designed.

We trust that this is all you require in this regard, however should you require further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Compliance Department

Best regards,

Reviewer Update
Still not happy Just wanted to to complain about clientele as they are inconsiderate. I've been a member for more than 5years and I haven't claim anything, I have a funeral cover, investment and legal aid but after skipping only 2 payments the cancelled my funeral policy of 5 Years and when I asked about the policy documents they refused to send me and the worst part is that they don't want to pay me my investment money. I've told them that I'm unemployed and I need the money because I have children that need that money to survive and also I need the policy documents of my investment showing all the transactions and my money paid into my account in 24 hours and a Sotho speaking manager to call this is unacceptable

Dear linda54

As per telephonic discussion, your Clientele Funeral Dignity Plan regrettably lapsed on 27 December 2017 due to your November and December premiums being stopped at the bank, with a reason received via our mag-tapes as “No authority to debit”. In terms of the lapsing of the policy, we rely on our SMS notifications as well as on the client to ensure that they review their bank statements to be aware of the policy activity.

We further confirmed that the Clientele Wealth Plan which commenced on 01 July 2015 regrettably lapsed due to 3 consecutive unpaid premiums. It is important to note that in accordance with Section 54 of the Long Term Insurance Act savings plans have a minimum investment term of 5 years and the Act imposes certain restrictions on these plans within these first 5 years.

During the restriction period the policyholder is allowed either one partial or full withdrawal. Our records indicate that your previous withdrawal took place on 08 February 2017, therefore the 5 year period has not expired from your last withdrawal.

The rule ensures that policy holders get maximum returns on the policies and are not negatively affected by the costs typically associated with early withdrawals. Our records indicate that the above was explained upon the 1st request received to withdraw funds from your Investment Plan.

We trust that this is all you require at this time, however feel free to contact us again should you need any further assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Lindiwe Mabizela
