HOLLARD IS NOT CUSTOMER CENTRIC

Good day

I logged a claim around the 9th of August and was promised a 24 to 48 hours turnaround time and I have been calling ***tirelessly and no one can give me answers as to why my claim is sitting with the risk department. but Hollard was very quick to call and upsell the policy. I'm an aggrieved customer.

I paid my monthly premiums, confirmed receipt of all required documents, and still, I have to call Hollard every day for the past 2 weeks, I cannot grieve the loss of my mother in peace because of Hollard Life.

My debit orders are going off on the 25th and when the Hollard debit bounces cause of insufficient funds again there will be an issue. Hollard is unsympathetic when it comes to dealing with Funeral claims, I regret the day I signed up for a Hollard Life policy

Regards

Hi Natasha

Thank you for the acknowledgement of my complaint and the condolences.

Up until when I once again called in yesterday ...I have been made to feel like a ******** BUT I pay my monthly policy fees and all documents were submitted in time -I even resent the documents, WHAT MORE DO I HAVE TO DO TO HAVE HOLLARD KEEP THEIR BRAND PROMISE TO ME AS A PAYING CUSTOMER!!!!

Your processes DO NOT serve the customer they only serve the company! Even Home Affairs was quicker than your process.

I need to know WHY do I have to now wait 14 DAYS for a funeral claim pay-out.

Will wait for your phone call.

It's past the close of business and it’s been 12 working days( 9 Aug-24 Aug) since I logged a Hollard Life funeral claim and confirmed that all required documents were received to date the only response from Hello Peter (23 Aug 2021, 15:39) and when I call the call centre the claim was only actioned on the 19 Aug & is sitting with risk(make it make sense) still no contact made and no payout made but tomorrow they will expect to debit my bank account. I regret taking the Hollard Life Policy, if you are looking for funeral cover DO NOT TAKE COVER WITH HOLLARD LIFE, they will let you down when you MOST need them!

Hi Natasha

Please do me a favour and do not give me assurances that you can NOT keep. This is how I got to this situation in the first place because of the claims department delaying the process and here you are going to the same department that won’t do anything for the next 14 months at this rate shouldn’t this be escalated to the Head of claims or risk? And I won’t hold my breath because Hollard does NOT keep their promises and 1 more thing, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE A HOLLARD DEBIT ORDER UNTIL MY CLAIM IS PAID!

If I’m not paid by this Friday 27th August which will be exactly 3weeks since I logged my claim I’m coming to your Parktown head Office for sure and I won’t have the same tolerance that I’m exercising right now..Y’all chose the wrong BLACK customer to mess with this around.

As I still wait for your phone call Natasha that you promised more than 24hrs ago!

See you This Friday!
