Policy Claim Complaint

I have logged in a claim and have been asked to submit documentation time and time again by your consultants over the phone. The last consultant that I spoke to advised that my claim would not be successful based on the terms and conditions on the policy wording document which I did not receive! I was only furnished with a handbook by a lady by the name of Nonduduzo Sithole at Pep Edendale after which I made a payment and began my membership.

I then had an unfortunate event of giving birth to a stillborn and have explained the events that followed thereafter via email, phone calls and affidavits. The required documents were all submitted multiple times on the advice of your consultants.

All of a sudden I was advised that I would not be getting a payout to the claim because the stillborn would have to be 26 weeks but I don’t have that in writing, it was just an information that came through as we were having a telephone call, I didn’t receive the info in the first place. Why was I made to go through all the claim processes in the first place? Why was I signed up without proper documents by an untrained consultant? Were you happy to just collect payments from me without following proper FICA regulations? If I am right this whole scenario qualifies as *****! If it is indeed ***** then it will be reported on all relevant platforms, official and otherwise! I am very much aware that the consultant is not a qualified financial advisor but I would still expect her to provide me with all the required documents so that I could make an informed decision based on what I have read and understood.

I await your prompt response hereto. I have already invested more than enough time going back and forth on this. If your decision remains as unsuccessful then please advise what would be your position on taking my money ********ly?

Complaint was sent through on Tuesday 11 January with the copy of the handbook I received from Nonduduzo as per the request from the consultant that was handling my complaint, but haven't heard from Hollard up to date.

Kind Regards Slindile Ndaba ***

Good Day

I have just received the email after a week, and it states that I received documents from Hollard via sms, how possible is that, a big document like that. I've never received any documents, why was it not sent via emails, Hollard is more then welcome to check with my cellphone service provider Vodacom to confirm if the documents were received or not, and I just noticed something, my beneficiary is written UNKOWN Mchunu, can an UNKOWN claim anything?

Kind Regards

hi,

my brother (beneficiary- I gave the lady that was assisting me with the policy, all his details, but it appears that, its UNKOWN Mchunu, I queried that and no one got back to me regarding it) he just received a call from your 1 of your agents: 'Apparently policy has lapsed when I changed to debit order . they only have my debit mandate with my details only, which is not the truth and they probably would call my mother too with the same false information. Below is the email I sent, with all the policy numbers and the debit form has all the policy numbers.
1.My policy is R80.00- Single Parent, R65.00 x 2 Individual policies (R215.00 was debited from my account and it was suppose to be R210.00, where is the R5.00 going to?
2. Why are their policies lapsed, if I was only paying for myself only it should have been R80.00

I am not happy at all with PEP/ Hollard. When I joined, I was not given any info 'Terms ?& Conditions' or whatsoever, only when I claimed in December, I got to know about Stillbirth terms and conditions, and the insisted that I received info on my mobile, which is not true. now its this? up to date my brother's details are not correct (beneficiary)

What is the extra R5.00 for?, I signed for R210.00

SEE BELOW THE TRAIL (Couldn't attached the signed debit form- R210.00 with 3 policies)

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated

PEP/ Hollard service is pathetic and I feel I'm being ****** of my hard earned money

Hi Attached please find signed form (3 in 1)***/ *** Kindly assist, on my beneficiaries I ,noticed that there is Unknown Mchunu and I know it will cause problems, come the time for claiming. I did not get proper documents when I joined and I’ve already had problems Kind RegardsS’lindile Ndaba From: TBFS Administration <***>
