FNB LAW ON CALL IS A ****

Please do not take out a law policy with FNB, they have failed to help me 3 times.

First one, it was about a labour matter, they just did not want to understand anything I told them, they wanted to do their way, which unfortunately was not the right one, so I gave up and got help from someone else. Secondly, for a ******** matter, they sent an armature to come and represent me, someone who had an altercation with the magistrate before the court starts, who ended up handing over the case to another lawyer who was available in court, for the purpose of getting bail, where I ended up getting more bail than anyone else who were charged for the same thing with me. After court when I asked them to change that lawyer for the certain lawyer, they told me they no longer have them on their panel of attorneys. Only to find out After hiring another lawyer, that the lawyers I wanted, are still on their network.

Lastly, I have recently requested help for another labour matter. All I asked for was assistance in making my arbitration award a court order, my mistake was to tell them where it all started, and now they are telling me what I should have done, but now, following the grievance procedure and all that, but now the thing is I could not have escalated the matter externally (to the bargaining council) without having exhausted all internal procedures. The fact that I now have an arbitration award, means all internal procedures are done with, and have won, and have been issued with an arbitration award. Now the employer is not complying, therefore, enforcing this, I need to make this a court order, because, once it is a court order, they will be forced to comply… Fnb loc do not want to listen to all what I’m telling them and asking help about, instead, they have decided to just close the ticket.
