disappointed policyholder

It's so disappointing that I now need to resort to this platform to get assistance, after having such a great experience with the claims process.

I have called the call center on numerous occasions to get the policy cancelled as there is no risk on cover. DOL was 25/07/2025 and the claim is already finalized; there should not have been a premium paid for August and at the rate thigs are going there will be another premium deducted 0n 01/09/2025/

I assume this should have been an automatic process, but I am the one calling the call center over and over for assistance.

Hi Basani

I have not heard anything from you till now, I have attempted to contact the call centre again today and spoke to Zizipho who could not assist and **** saying there is no teamleader/ manager available today, which company runs a call centre with no manager/ team leader on the floor? I spoke to the same Zizipho yesterday morning and was very rude when I asked her to remove the car and just transferred my call to "cancellation department". I was kept on hold until I decided to end the call. I have been working for the insurance industry for over 18 years and can tell you for free that this was a whole lot of nonsense.

I added a 2nd vehicle yesterday and still struggling to get the old vehicle taken off cover. We are really starting on a wrong foot.

Eventually I spoke to Lindiwe (teamleader) who surfaced from nowhere, since I was told that there was none available. who is also not the cleverest person in the room. I am a very frustrated client and will definitely be moving my cover to someone who will value my business and treat me as a valued premium paying client.

This Lindiwe person kept me on hold for a looooong time whilst she was " removing the vehicle from cover". Is this not supposed to be a click of the button? I was on the call for over 25 minutes just to get this resolved. I had to end the call again without any assistance as I could not spend another minute listening to the music.

I am disgusted by the service I received and hope this complaint will be attended to and proper measures taken to ensure that this behavior does not continue.

On top of all this appalling service, I have just received an updated policy schedule, no phone call after I ended the call due to the long wait, I open my policy document, and the car has been finally removed as requested but my premium on the new car has now increased from R 1725 to R2806..... please make it make sense, clearly I am the cocomelon in this movie.

I am so tired of this incompetency.

My account was debited without my consent, there was insufficient funds in my account which resulted in unpaid fees app**** to my policy. Is Absa going to reimburse me for these?
Why was I not advised that the debit order will be processed for yesterday's date?

Yhooo Absa iDirect
