**********

Momentum Life have put me in a desperate position when we took it out they sent my husband for a medical the Doctors machine was broken so he had to run up and down steps they found a heart mumer which is a family condition and no one in his family ever died for it instead lived to an old age so they would only insure him for R2 000 000.00 and put 40% on his premium. our agent new we wanted a payout of between R7 000 000/R10 000 000. so he said never mind we will try again next year to cut a long story tried the next time it was high blood presure then cholestral then he went to the best cardiologist in Durban and he said everything was under control but no now the found high protein in his prostrate and in the end made him have a biopsy which of course was clear we were still only getting R2 000 000.00 so we sent out 2 reps one from liberty life and I from Standard Bank the came back and said with what Momentum said we would not get cover anywhere we were so cross ( you should be seeing all this on Carte Blanche soon before we could take the matter further he died at 66 not with anything they stopped us from putting our payout up but with NATURAL CAUSES so they have caused me now at 69 to lose the man I loved dearly for 43 years and stopped us going to other insurances to get a higher payout I will have to sell the house and still not enough money to live on I have seriously considered taking my own life to be with him as what am I going to do. PLEASE DO NOT USE MOMENTUM ND BE LEFT IN THE POSITION I'M IN NOW by the way my husband died in front of me he had a lung infection he was okay two days after being to the doctor he went had a shower came back to the bed to put on his socks Coughed feinted and died not only have I now not enough money to live on be lost the best man of my life whom I loved dearly . PLease don't let this happen to you

I have not received a call from you my number is ********** 177 the land line was cancelled when my husband died. what I omitted from the above was that we could have gone to discovery they were offering R10 000 000.00 NO MEDICALS REQUIRED. we were just to late but when your husband is NEVER SICK and drops down died in front of you after 43 years of being happily married please anybody that reads this DO NO TAKE OUT A LIFE POLICY WITH MOMENTUM i will not stop I have written to overseas a lot of media want to take it up also which you might want to know is that after you have seen the doctor etc., and you are given a report of all under control Momentum send either a form or letter to that doctor which you do not see when I found out I phoned and asked for my husbands as he was dead and the answer was it is confidential and would not let me see it. what does this make you feel about Momentum also the man whom lives over the road from me Peter R. has a policy with them which includes dread disease he has prostate cancer and Parkinsens disease and they wont pay him out, make up your own mind Carte Blanche told me that they are also looking into another matter concerning Momentum. they cannot say that we wanted a higher payout because we kept having tests and if we didn't like their agent and his wife wasn't pregnant we would have been able to change. thats what you get for trying to help someone we needed to be paid out between R7 000 000.0/R10 000 000.00. we would have got R10 000 000.00 from Discovery
