Hollard Insurance ********* and *******. They never pay out

I submitted a funeral cover claim which is supposed to be settled and paid out within 48 hours. Their turn around time has elapsed, their call center is a nightmare as the are never any supervisors or management to escalate the matter. The funeral is tomorrow and we have no idea what is happening as the call center agent keeps saying the claim is sitting with the accessors even though their turn around time has elapsed.

7 days later you have not gotten back to me and I have to deal with your rude call center agents who do not know how to speak or address someone at a time of grief.

You lie to customers on your policy document saying you will pay within 48 hours. We had to go loan money from loan sharks to put together a decent burial/funeral. I am so disappointed in Hollard, I would never advise anyone to join the policy. You are the worst insurance company I have ever had to deal with. You guys are *********, today a debt order went on the same policy you refuse to pay. You so comfortable taking my money but you don't want to pay the claim.

I would also like the call recording with Hollard customer services with call reference number *** as I would like to escalate this matter to the ombudsman as I have tried everything with contacting Hollard and I only get rude, *********** agents who cannot address a customer with the respect a client deserves. Please make the recording available as soon as possible so I can take this matter to the ombudsman.
