Old Mutual does not care about its clients!!!

Old mutual is the worst provider i have ever had to deal with. In 2018 my mother invested with the company but she unfortunately passed away in 2019 and we have been trying to claim her money since then. We claimed the money at a Qumbu branch where they told us we need an estate account which we opened immediately then they kept sending the same form over and over saying that it wasn't completed. We then consulted at the Mthatha main branch where they made us start over the whole process but they continued to send the same email over and over saying the claim wasn't completed. After a few months we claimed the money again and when we made a phone call to the head office they told us a claim wasn't made and the consultant assisted us with making a claim again, after a while we visited the Qumbu branch again and they told us the claim was never processed and we had to start over again then she told to wait 15 days but 15 days passed and there was still no money. This happened last month and when we visited the branch beginning of April 2021 they told us the claim was made and we were told to wait another 15 days but 15 days have passed once again and the money has not been paid. We are struggling to make ends meet as all of us are unemployed and cannot understand why it takes 2 whole years to process a claim

Reviewer Update
We were told that this matter would be investigated promptly when we wrote a review here two weeks ago but to this very day the claim has not been paid yet. Old mutual does not even have the slightest idea of the immense amount of emotional distress it has put my family and I under. At this point we have no choice but to look into suing this company for emotional distress, whether it is the company itself that has a problem or its useless employees that don't want to do their jobs and the managers that won't even answer the phones!!!
