Disgusted superfund service

Good day all

I have a superfund investment that I would like to cash out as I am no long working,my employer has advised the necessary as to what I need to do to access the funds . I have been to the branch in Adderly street Cape Town I approached the reception desk where I was greeted by an employee that advised me to have a seat in the waiting area not long after that a consultant asked me how could he help I have rep**** that I need to access my superfund as I am no longer working , he could not assist me at all and said I need to access the guest wifi and do it on my phone I literally done the application about 20 times in the store when I told him it's not working. He then put me on the phone to the customer call center where I was on hold for a further 39 mins eventually I spoke to the agent over the phone who asked me to send screenshot of the error that I was receiving on the website to an email address which *** which I did and then she abruptly said I must wait 48 hours for further communication and hung up. What a waste of time , I has to travel with public transport just to get this useless information what about the elderly or the less fortunate that does not have access to internet or who not computer literate therefore they would want to come into a branch for a consultant to help them and not robot the call center cannot even assist over the phone . Old mutual I want to access my superfund please immediately I don't care about your 3 to 6 week turnaround time I need assistance with this so that I can get rid of this useless investment company.

Good afternoon, your assessors have sent me an email to request a good time to call me I have rep**** at 2.15pm today I have not received any call to date. Is this some kind of joke I just want my claim to be submitted for an ASAP payout due to the inconvenience caused here.
I would like to speak to someone more senior and not a customer agent in a call center instead I am receiving communication to rate the se LOL

Good morning Old Mutual.
I eventually got to submit my claim ,please escalate to your it team that there should not be a PO. Box field to complete if you already completed the field of residential address and ticked the box that the same would apply for the postal address.
Therefore I was inconvenienced as I had to do this 50 times until Carol-Ann advised I need to complete the PO. Box field even though I don't have a PO . Box Therefore I demand that my payout should be immediate based on this IT error or I need to be compensated Alternatively.

Good morning Old Mutual.

I am once again frustrated and angered by the process of my payments.

I have responded to your team member regarding this however I am receiving a contradicting respond.

Based on the inconvenience causes.

I have been promised by a senior manager in order to proceed the payout speedily this has not happened.

Please can someone respond to my email with accurate information does the balance get paid out within 48 hours or 30days.

I want a specific answer not your standard turn around time .

This is the most awful and useless customer service.

Good day Old Mutual

I received communication on Monday from Iesa Cupido advising that the feedback that I received from Faiza Lakay last week Friday 16 May was false he then said I would receive my payment later the week most likely Thursday which is today no payment at all .he then called me saying that he never said that payment will be today he said he will give me feedback today.
This is obviously false.
Old Mutual I suggest that you make my payment and payout a priority today as this has caused tremendous damage to my personal financial state .
Iesa Cupido confirmed that I will receive feedback telephonically again today between 3.30pm and 4 pm
The feedback should be confirmation that my payment and payout is being processed IMMEDIATELY.
in order for me to fulfill my financial commitments as discussed previously
This situation is not based on your standard turn around times based on all the inconvenience and correspondence on this platform.

I have also sourced an email address from your much senior members within Old Mutual to convey all of my dissatisfaction.


Please send me the confirmation of payment and payout
