Pathetic Service

I resigned from my Company at the end of December 2019 . Momentum received all my documents on 10/01/2019 , there was an issue with my Tax Nr and they advised they only received the Tax Nr on 25/1/2019 . In the meantime I had been emailing them and getting responses that I will receive my pension in 7 to 14 days. I have even received emails that my pension was paid out in 2013. Nobody answers the 0860 number and when they do they are not in the least helpful.

I received an email on 5/3/2019 requesting information and thought that maybe I will receive my money. I rep**** on the email and asked the question "when will the funds be deposited in my account" to date no reply.

I have even gone so far now as to report them to the ombudsman and involve Lawyers I donot understandwhy Momentum have become so ***********. They have this dont care attitude This is my money

Good Day

I have tried to call you but you must be busy.

I wish to confirm that your claim is now at disinvestment stage. I understand that our Quality Assurer called you to advise you that you qualified for a Retirement Option and you confirmed that this is the process you would prefer to follow.

The  disinvestment takes roughly 4 working days, the case will then go for a directive at SARS which is 48 Hours, thereafter it goes for bank verification and then payment will be made.

I apologise for the fact that our communication has not been up to standard and assure you that we will give the claim  our urgent attention.

Kind Regards

Sue

Reviewer Update
I received a reply from Momentum to my published complaint when I rep**** and made it private there was no response . What does that tell you?? Again I more or less received the same answer 7 to 4 days . This is totally unacceptable. This has been going on now for 3 months. I have now contacted the ombudsman because it seems to me the left arm doesn’t know what the right arm is doing. Is it policy with Momemrum that they donot reply to emails ??? Or for that matter answer their telephones.
