Terrible customer service - surrender of policy

<p>I have been trying for the last week to progress the surrender of a policy. I have submitted documentation 3 times and have called the call centre 3 times to follow up and have been given 3 different reasons why nothing has progressed, from unclear pdf's to not inserting where a document was signed. </p> <p>It is really poor customer service that in every instance, no one from Liberty has called or emailed me to advise that there was a problem. After speaking to a number of people, there is a distinct impression in the public that the service Liberty provides for cancelling or surrendering a policy is notoriously slow and frustrating. And the receipt of an automated email advising that my docuemnts or query has been escalated to the correct department and that someone would contact me is no consolation - I have not been contacted since initiating the process a week ago.</p> <p>To add insult to injury - call centre operatives are not helpful any fruther than relaying what they see on their screen.</p> <p> </p> <p>Vvery disappointed!</p>

Subject: Very slow response regarding surrender of policy

Hi Sizwe

I have posted my complaint on hellopeter.com and noticed that you have addressed other complaints with some success.\

I have not received any feedback from Liberty regarding the progress of the surrender of my policy and I am in urgent need of the funds.

Please can you let me know if there is anything you can do to assist, even if only to put me in contact with the correct person who can give me information, other than trawling through call center agent after call center agent for days!!!!

Thanks so much


Carla

I would like to compliment Sizwe and team that followed up on my complaint and actioned my claim literally within 24 hours. If this service could be replicated from the start, Liberty would have many more happy customers.
