Money saving tactic

Good day , my mom Martha Hill *** has a policy with IUA business solutions she opened the funeral policyEDC*** in 2006 with her Edgards account , her account was up to date as of when some Edgards branches closed she had difficulty getting to a branch and her account fell behind , all the time she was still paying on the account but because she was in arrears payment was stop to the funeral cover and cancelled No notification was given and when I made contact, I found out the policy was cancelled I then had a very very up and down as they refused to reinstate the policy we then came to an agreement where they would have to deduct directly from her bank account which all went okay until I recently made contact to find out if the policy is still fine and I received email to say the policy was cancelled of no payment The consultant then said since December they have not received payment and there was a SMS sent First, with the whole back and forth last year we updated all contact numbers they sent the SMS to a number that was back used 3years ago I don’t understand if I had not made contact, we would have not known that my mom is no cover if any God forbid happens to her I truly believe that IUA Business is going to have a loss with my mom policy hence they are trying to cancel it every chance they are getting They said to me they can’t reinstate because of my mom’s age There is funds in the account the reason they are not deducting I can not say I asked if we could pay up they refuse as they don’t want to loose money paying out I have logged a complaint, but I don’t see any urgency spoke to a consultant yesterday, Nomfundo Manqele but I could feel that they not interested in helping to them it’s a done deal This is not fair really If I could do another policy as this has just been a headache and lots of stress

Shame on you IUA daylight *******

Following an investigation, we confirm that the policy was sold at the store and incepted on 01 June 2006. Premiums appeared on the account statement since inception and would have reflected on the bank account statement once the policy was changed over to a debit order. We note that you did mention that you had not received the non-payment SMS. The responsibility lies with you, as the client, to inform the insurer of any incorrect information reflecting on your policy within 31 days of the first premium default. It was noted that premiums were not received for November 2024 and December 2024.Had there been a valid claim, the insurer would have been obliged to entertain the claim subject to the terms of the policy. Regrettably, your policy may not be reinstated or restarted as you are above the maximum entry age. Kindly refer to the attached policy wording for ease of reference referred to in the excerpt below;

YOU HAVE RECEIVED ALL THE MONIES SINCE 2006 NOW YOU DONT WANT TO REINSTATE WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE YEARS SHE PAID
YOU ARE ROBBING AN ELDERLY LADY NOT HAPPY AT ALL

Dear Michelle

As confirmed previously, had there been a valid claim during the duration of cover,  the claim would have been honoured by Hollard.
Unfortunately as a result of non payment of premium, the policy cancelled.    
We note that the matter has been escalated to Hollard and to the Internal Adjudicator who will provide you with further feedback and response.
The matter is now with the Insurer.

Kind regards,

Good day

Feedback regarding policy
The policy may not be reinstated or restarted again as you are above the maximum entry age as communicated.

Policy lapse after 6 months but in this case only 2 premiums was not received only because message was not received
the policy has been running since 2006
it is not fair as all the years monies have been waisted
so if the holder was 75years old the policy would've been reinstated

what happens to all monies that been paid in thus far does the holder just leave it

please Hollard must be exposed this is robbing if the holder dies today what happens nothing
as Hollard just wiped off their hands

Brutal business but benefit of Hollard
