Extremely Poor service

Old Mutual careless about their clients' needs. I requested a sum of R1000 to be moved from Savings account to Money account on the 05 December 2024, they processes and said that it will reflect on my account after 15 working dayst. On the 31st December 2024 I called and I was told the process was completed on the 27 December 2024 so I must wait for the to be reflect.

On the 02 January 2025 I went to the brach and they said they will escalate the matter and I should expect money on the same day after 3pm, nothing happenned. On the 06th January 2025 I went to the branch again and they told me that they lodged a complaint on my behalf but they dont know when will I get the money.

Today is the 14th January 2025, I am yet to receive the money. They have been asking me to move my salary to OldMutial account which I was considering but ogbiously I will not. How can I trust such an irreliable institution with my my whole salary. I am even considering to cancel all the policies I have with them.

Extremely poor sevice at its best

I would like to believe that it is a robot that rep**** to my complain or it was a way of keeping me quite.
Yesterday, I was promised that a complaint assessor will call me but as usual, no one called. The schools have reopened and my kids do not stationery etc, thanks to Old Mutual and their lazy team.

I think it would be better if you can just say that you will not pay MY HARD EARNED MONEY so I can at least go to Mashonisa. I mean I have been waiting for this money since the 05 December 2024 and each day I go to your branch or call they always say one same thing, "We have escalated the matter and we do not know when it will be resolved".

I just dont understand that if the consultant does not know, what are they doing if they cannot give fruitfull or positive answers.

Or maybe I must consider going to the Ombudsmen
