Old mutual Contact Centre a nightmare to reach

My husband is based overseas at the moment in his home country for medical care as he is dealing with brain cancer. We have an Old Mutual Greenlight cover and with Old Mutual for years, we have a portal where we can change our details. Being overseas, we have been trying to change our banking details on the portal where Old Mutual can do the deduct our premium and pay our annuity monthly, since June this year. The portal is showing that bank details have been changed from Absa to Standard bank, and yet Old Mutual still uses the Old account which is now closed. We have been trying to call Old mutual customer care for the past 10 days to ask for deductions and payments to be done into the new account, the phones are not being picked, if they get picked they get dropped and this is costly for us as we are calling international. We want to pay the premium with direct pay for the month, but we can't get help, even we send emails, we can't get help.

The issue is still not resolved, today we received an email from Old Mutual informing us of a missed premium payment, and yet we have been sending countless emails and communications to Old Mutual notifying them of change of bank account and even tried to send someone to an Old Mutual branch to pay the funds directly, and we were not successful. We have changed the banking details on the portal and Old Mutual acknowledged change of bank account and yet Old Mutual is still debiting, and depositing money into the wrong account. This is frustrating, we have been trying to call Old Mutual, calls are not being picked up, if picked up, they are dropped.

Hi
I managed to get hold of an Old Mutual agent by the name of Feziwe Renqe, she is such an amazing lady. Feziwe took her time and helped us out and a special debit order will be arranged in a few days. After 3 weeks of failed calls, emails and escalations, this lady helped us in less than 30 minutes, please give her a promotion. She was friendly and professional and made us to be at ease.
