Momentum does not care

I have a retirement fund through my previous employer. My forms for withdrawal were submitted on the 24th of October 2024. It was said that my claim would be finalized within a period of 26 working days. Since the 20th of November I have sent numerous mails trying to track my claim. I received a mail on the 6th of December stating my claim were only escalated the 20th of November and now I have to wait another 26 working days. It is now the 20th of December still no payout. when I phoned Momentum on the 18th of December the lady, I spoke to said that my claim will only be paid out next year. I am totally unhappy and this is totally unacceptable. What they say and what is done is two very different things. Christmas is in 5 days and what do I give my children when I bargained on the money, they said will take 26 days. Now it's almost 2 months no payout. People should be careful trusting that momentum is for the people when clearly, they just don't care.

if my money is not paid out before Christmas i will be taking it to the Ombudsman since they dis not pay out my claim in the timeframe they said.

Momentum only gives automated responses. But no one really makes an effort. I am taking this up with the Ombudsman. Momentum is the worst company to ever trust your money to

After this review Momentum gave me a call and sent a mail stating they have app**** for tax . The lady I spoke to said it will take 48 hours then the money will be in my account. I asked specifically for a date my payment will be finalised and I was promised on the 20th of December that I will recieve my payment definitly before the end of December.
Well look at where we are now 30 December still no payout and how convienent Momemntum is now closed until January.
This is totally unacceptable, I mean how can a Momentum agent promise me my payment will be finalised after waiting for 2 months where according to them it was suppose to take 26 working days.
Not only did they keep telling stories and now they are lying to their customers.

Momentum should not be trusted , they are making promises they clearly cant keep and in the process they are lying to their customers!!!

PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES BEWARE!!!
