Old Mutual deplorable service - NEVER AGAIN

I made a Severe Illness Claim in Feb 2022 but still not paid out. Claims submitted in Feb 2022, acknowledgement of these forms on 3 March 2022. No feedback received until April 2022, when I had to call in. I was told that correspondence was sent to a broker that had left the company in December. They were informed I had a new broker in Feb 2022. I confirmed the new broker's details again. No feedback till May 2022. I had to call in, they then tell me I need more forms submitted and they have sent correspondence to the old broker - AGAIN. Eventually get the forms through the new broker submit this. In June 2022, further information was requested for, including information already submitted. I call again in the beginning of July 2022, they then tell me that they never received all the necessary forms ( the same documents that i already sent in) and they still hve the old brokers information on my profile. Broker eventually tells me that his superior spoke to an old mutual superior byt the name of Darius and feedback will be within the week or so. It is now 3 weeks later -zero feedback. So, a broker that has resigned, their details are still on the system, even though I requested for them to change this 3 TIMES! and almost 6 MONTHS later, there is no feedback or payout. What gives here?? enough is enough. Please sort this out ASAP. I will never use Old Mutual ever again!

Your call centre operations in terms of options and being transferred to the right people is exhausting and your conduct of this claim is deplorable! I have wasted hundreds of rands on airtime with your call centre, and also had to pay medical specialist JUST to sign a form!

Claim still not sorted out. Your email contain responses to the advisor that left 6 months ago. You are asking for information that was submitted to you in June 2022. Unbelievable.

you repeatedly ask for documents that were sent more than 3 or 4 times, whats going on there. your document retention is deplorable and appauling. You are frustrating me by repeatedly asking for things we have sent to you so many times. Please get your act together.

It is now 3 months later and this has still not been sorted out. It seems you have been asking for the document "Certificate of Medical Attendant", but only pointed that out NOW. You have just prodded along saying its with assessors when in fact you dont even have this form from Feb 2022. The reason you dont have this form is that the advisor said there is NO SUCH FORM, which is why he advised us to use the form "Medical Specialist" for my GP. Even the GP was surprised, but this is what we were advised to do. It seems all of the advisors working on this claim have been misinformed. I have checked on your website and i cannot find this form. can you pleas send it to my email address asap so I cant sort it out. ***

Dear Old Mutual, it has been over a year since my event and my claim is still not paid out. You keep asking for documents to be sent with a deadline date. I adhered to everything, ensured all the documents were provided. Most recently you sent me forms addressed to a medical practitioner, which required a medical practitioners history of myself and the medical practitioners signature and practice number. After I sent this to you, you come back and tell me that I as the policy owner must complete this form. Are you for real??? I responded stating this but you have not come back to me. Its been more than a week and you have not come back to me. Who asked for these forms to be completed by me? I could lie, are you aware of that? Like seriously , ***!!!! Please get back to me ASAP.
