Hollard Funeral plan …… its **** !!!!!!!

Good day All Hollard Funeral plan …… its **** !!!!!!! This is to inform everyone about the ****, Hollard Life / Funeral plan Hollard insurance is offering everyone labelled as a Funeral plan. I joined this policy in 2017 +- 11 months ago to assist with a funeral in a time of need, and seeing as a reputable company offered it called Hallard “Well that’s what I thought at the time). I joined as stated about 11 months ago and included my father and father in law in case something happened to them. Main reason is that the financial burden would fall onto me! Hollard terms and conditions was No medicals required!!!! Yes that is the big red flag that was supposed to warn me!!!! But I thought seeing it’s a funeral plan and Not Life insurance it will be legit and thought Hollard would honour a claim in a time of need seeing that they took the premiums on a monthly basis without any issues!!!!!

Well sadly my father passed away in April 2018 due to natural caused (this is what the death certificate stated was the cause) and I started the claim process to assist with the Funeral cost...... It took almost 3 weeks to finalize with multiple emails and calls (not the 72 Hours pay out as advertised) Well the claim was finally rejected and the reason ...... wait for it ..... My father had an existing condition called Gout and this is what caused his death....... Seriously I tried to google this, I think my father is the first person in history that actually died of Gout!!!!!!! I mean *** !!!!!!

I’m in the process of reporting Hollard to the Ombudsman and requested the recording where they told me that my claim is rejected due to the existing condition called GOUT ". When you call the Hollard call centre always informed you that you are being recorded, and this recording will always be available on request “but 3 weeks later and still no mail or response from Hollard. It just shows you the support and assistance you can expect from them in a time of need when you are dealing with a passing of a loved one!!!!! Really sad and unprofessional! I also requested for them to stop the policy until this matter was resolved but I was told “You can cancel the policy if you want to but they will not stop it!!!!! That means the waiting periods will have to start all over again….. maybe I will die of gout next…. Who knows!!!!!! This is the worst **** and service and to think it was from a reputable (well I thought) company called Hollard!!!!! Shocking !!!

So please if you have any of their ****ty and **** policies you are better off stopping them and go to a reputable financial institute that will actually delivers in a time of need!!!! Not give a **** excuse like your father died of GOUT and your claim is rejected !!!!!!!

Lynne Please do not let that idiot phone me that just tried to explain to me what type of condition caused my father’s death. He told me that the CMA stated that my father died of Hypertension Gout..... “Another new type of medical term created by Hollard Life insurance “because the form from Hollard called CMA (Certificate of Medical Attendant section: D request Medical History of the deceased) and that stated that he was treated in 2016 for Gout and Hypertension. And not Hypertension Gout. I then asked him to explain what Gout is and what Hypertension is. Yes he could not and then refused to give me a chance to speak. So basically you guys took his history of what he was treated for in 2016 and stated that is the cause of death!!!! How can you determine what the cause is without an autopsy? And how was that determined as per your consultant that told me they determined it based on the facts, if it stated on the DHA- 1663 A form that he died of natural causes ????? Please explain this to me F.F.S …. In addition, where is the recordings that I requested? Still nothing.
