Bad customer service...

I am writing this review with a heavy heart and deep dissatisfaction. My father sadly passed away on the 8th of May 2025. Despite this, Old Mutual still debited my account on the 25th of May for a policy, even though my father had passed away before 6 months.

I immediately contacted the call center to request a refund for the amount deducted after my father’s passing. To this day, I have not received the refund. I’ve been repeatedly transferred between agents, and each one claims that the matter has been closed and the funds have already been processed and policy canceled—yet I’ve received nothing.

I was also promised a callback from a supervisor on the 9th of May, which never happened. This experience has added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time, and I feel completely let down by the lack of empathy and accountability shown.

I hope this matter is taken seriously and resolved promptly.

I don't understand what you are doing ,first thing when I sent my complain at 10 Jun 2025 at 09:07 first thing was to acknowledge the complain ,listen to the calls ,find out which leader promised to call me on Monday the 9th as I made that call on Friday the 6 and ask that team leader to fulfill her promise to call me and prioritize the complain .

I explained to the lady that you consultants **** to me and told me the matter will be processed in 9 days and cancel the policy however nothing was done and till today no email or phone call from old mutual and you come here to promise to call me back or send an email .


Almost 5pm at what time are you planning to call or send me an email?.

Money deducted on the 25th of May still not processed come on stop playing games for the sake of your stats as if old mutual is quick to respond to customer complains with auto responses .

Still waiting for a call from Old mutual,I called the call center just now for over 20 minutes my claim is not processed till today.

Because I made a call and asked questions,they decided to send me another delay 😡

Sms received after my call

Old Mutual. To complete your request on 69345SB***7 we need you to submit the proof of deduction and banking details in your name not older than 3 months. Regards . You can submit the document(s) via WhatsApp using https://www.oldmutual.co.za/waupload, or Email *** Quote this ***. FSP&Ins. T&Cs



Why I didn't get this sms when I called so I can supply my details ?

I was promised payment on Monday , however the process has not started,not processed,what are you guys doing what kind of games are you playing making false promises to clients knowing very well the information you are providing is incorrect and misleading clients .

I need my money today as it was promised for monday.


Can someone with authority call me for once keep your word and do as you promised.
