Old Mutual Misleading Customers

<p>People be warned not to invest with Old Mutual. Their financial advisors are ***** that will say anything to get your hard earned money. I fell into their trap. I did not even think of investing my money with them after resigning. Phoned them regarding my other policies and when the advisor found out that Im resigning he made it sound so amazing why I should invest with. Telling me that I can withdraw any amount as a once off and the rest will grow at great interest untill I reached retirement age, even the day my pension was transfered to them he still said the same, just to find out I can only withdraw 1/3 of my gard earned money. Even though I gave them proof in writting that he told me this, Old Mutual feels that I was not mislead. They **** care at all about their customers. All they care about is earned interest and commission on your hard earned money. I am far from done with you Old Mutual, Pinelands, Cape Town. </p>

Good day Mr Rensburg

The matter was initially sent to our Advice department to address.

You've since received their response and escalated the matter to the Internal Arbitrator's office. Escalated complaints are investigated and resolved within 10 working days of receiving your escalation.

I have requested copies of all calls made and documentation you signed with the advisor. Once received, I will do a full synopsis of the matter and address Old Mutual's final response to the Internal Arbitrator who will deliberate on the matter and provide you with a response. This entire process will be completed by 7 July 2016.

Kind regards
