OLD MUTUAL: IMPOSSIBLE TO GET HOLD OF. IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANSWERS.

We have moved to Australia and I have been trying to get hold of Old Mutual for over a week in order to withdraw my Protektor Fund in order to reinvest it in the country where we now reside. I emailed them and was told to contact their contact number. On Saturday I finally got through, only to be told that I needed to call on Monday to speak to the Product team, as the helpdesk can't help me. I contacted the international phone number, I had to choose between option 1 and 2. When you press 1 (Or 2) it says "this is not an available option". I emailed again and got another number. I called this, was on hold for 20 minutes, spoke to someone who said they'd put me through to the right department, got put through to the number where I yet again had to choose between the non-existent "option 1 or 2", only to be put on hold again for 20 minutes and finally being cut off without an answer. After searching, I finally found an email address - ********** They just forwarded my mail to ********** asking them to respond. This was two days ago and I am still waiting for an answer. They certainly do not live up to their campaign line, "THE TIME IS NOW". (PS. Please note that my contact number is an Australian Number)

It seems like the Protektor department doesn't even respond to the Old Mutual Complaints Management's request for them to respond. Which just goes to prove my point, yet again.
