FUNERAL STOPPED BECAUSE OLDMUTUAL WONT PAY.

my sister took a policy for our aunt and she was a policy holder and a premium payer at the same time. now our aunt passed away and we support to bury her this Saturday 02/03/2019.now we put in a claim , it was declined with 3 different reasons. 1. old mutual is unable to confirm with the mortuary 2. the policy payer cannot be the beneficiary 3. it doesn't show anywhere that she is a policy payer and a beneficiary. my question is WHY NOW, IF THE SAME OPERATIONS/BACKOFFICE CAN PICK IT NOW. WHY DID THEY NOT PICK IT THEN WHEN THEY PROCED THE POLICY.IT COULD OF BEENG CORRECTED THEN. WE CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER WEEK TO BURY BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE MONEY. WE GOING TO ACCUMULATE DOUBLE CHARGES WITH THE FUNERAL PAULOR . DONT PLAY WITH US, THE PERSON WHO WAS PROCESSING THE COVER SHOULD HAVE PICKED IT UP .WE NEED HELP PLEASE. IT TUESDAY . AND PLEASE DONT TELL US ITS NOT YOUR PROBLEM PLEASE NO. THE MEASURE YOUR TAKING NOW WHEN YOU SUPPOST TO PAY OUT CLAIM, SHOULD BE THE SAME TAKEN WHEN YOU SELL TO US. SOME1 MUST CALL ME NOW.

Hi Kareemah, I am still waiting for respond . even now. it looks like this matter your not treating it serious. I called you at 11,00. you said you haven't worked on the complain you will look at it and get back to me. even know. what frustrating too more is that we have a body at the mortuary that needs to be buried .please someone must try to help. I checked the contract , no where its stating that premium payer should not be a a beneficiary. if I was told that in the beginning. believe you me. I would have changed it. please assist us,we trying to get the funeral done.or should we postpone or what should we do. your urgent respond will be appreciated. I really don't appreciate the treatment we are receiving from old mutual really.i don't know how admin error should be penalized on the client.
