Policy that was wrongfully declared as lapsed.

Hello.

My name is Luyanda Makubalo

I took a funeral cover for my mother in 2017 and up until 2019 i was paying every month. In January of 2020 i was told that the policy lapsed in Sep or August 2019 if im not mistaken. For all the months i was paying in time and its only when i went into the branch to pay manually that i was told the policy lapsed.

I contacted Hollard and they refunded me the months from the period they say my policy lapsed till December 2019.

My complaint now is that i feel that paying me only from the month Hollard says my policy lapsed till December is not enough.

Hollard did not see my premiums which is not my fault.

The error is on Hollard's side not on my side because i was paying my premiums in time and in full.

I would like to be refunded from the day (in 2017) when i took the policy till the month (2019) that Hollard say my policy lapsed. Or the other option is to activate my mother's policy without the waiting period. I've been emailing them many times but they ignoring me. Please help, thanking you in advance.

Elizabeth Mokgele gave me a call.
She gave me 2 options, to pay the premiums from August 2019 to present or start over, meaning i must start afresh, with a waiting period. I feel like Hollard is forcing me to help them to solve the error they made. I do not want their policy anymore i just want them to pay my money back.
She told me that they can not pay me and there is no clear reason as to why not and i gave her my reasons for wanting my money back but she just said they are sorry they made an error but they can not pay me back.
I just want my money please.
