Bad client service

I did a two pot withdrawal on 04 Oct and was told the claim would take 20 days to pay out. Since doing the claim I have encountered challenges with old mutual. I have been dismissed, ignored and passed around by their call agents, it has been 60 days now and my claim is yet to be paid. For all my enquiries I'm told I need to wait there's nothing that can be done, I'm given a time frame for them resolving my issues but it never happens hence now I'm going on 60 days without payment. I would not encourage anyone to invest with old mutual and I would like to note that they have bad reviews on client service, I checked the net. I'm extremely unhappy and frustrated because I don't know what to do anymore. Old Mutual I feel has no sympathy for their clients and it's so easy for them to pass you on like you are a coin on a chess board, and unwanted item.

I called Old mutual again today and I'm still being made to wait for another 7 days, I'm done with these people I'm not getting what I need and want it shows that I'm gonna be waiting for my withdrawal for another month. I'm soooo used to being given 7 days that turn to weeks with nothing happening.

I am so frustrated and angry. The task of being a responsible patent went right out the window for me, I've been extremely inconvenienced by old mutual. I couldn't collect my kids school reports today because I owe 2 months fees and till today my kids fees have not been paid because old mutual has delayed extremely, my claim pay-out. Imagine the holiday my kids are going to have not knowing whether they have progressed to higher classes or not, I'm only going to be able to collect their reports in 2025. I've never felt this hopeless in my life before.

Received an email that my claim has been escalated to back office!!!! Well I guess I have to brace myself because this clearly means I'll have to wait another month for back office to actually do something about my claim, which probably means I'll get feedback in Jan and hopefully my claim will be paid out in Feb if things go well without further escalations.

I've tried being patient with OM and what irritates is them not giving feedback and making follow ups. I still haven't received my full payout and am taking this matter to the PFA I've had enough.
