Once bitten twice shy - Investo Services

I'm again experiencing the humiliation of ***** and bullying service from Momentum Investo Services iro of policy claims. The withdrawal process inconsistencies and clandestine approach that accompanies it, creates an impression of being bul**** and undermined in trying to access dues ligitimacely, as a customer. The bad taste from a prior claim is being acutely revisited upon me. I don't intend prolonging my relationship with Momentum beyond this point in whatever manner.

Thanks NH for the escalation.
Amazing how wailing on this service wall, illicits a response flurry.
I received a call moments later, with the consultant admitting that it is a result of my review post - proving my point of the stonewalling of my preferred initial correspondence format.
I refused the offer of a sudden telephonic clarification and insisted that my rights be respected and it be done in writing - for me to add to my paper trail for future use.
I shall keep you posted of my infuriating plight.
Kind regards

My urgent concerns registered via email, on why the reference number for this withdrawal application, has suddenly reverted to an old paid up endowment policy withdrawal (2019), remains unanswered; yet I'm subjected to continuing appalling abuse, as if I'm a *****ster trying to access my own funds.

As uttered to the agent who called me yesterday, after my review, I don't want any of my funds left with Momentum after this sordid saga, which mirrors the humiliation and indignity, to the tee of my 2019 endowment policy withdrawal.

Good day
Please be advised that the duplicitous withdrawal process, communication continues to be visited upon me - in an attempt to hoodwink me - from rightfully accessing full policy proceeds. The 2 pot system restrictions are only applicable wef 1 September 2024.
