Old Mutual Provident Fund withdrawal.

My husband had a Provident Fund with Old Mutual through his previous employer. He resigned from said employer on 18 October 2024. We have done the application for withdrawal of the funds and have since been struggling to get the money paid out.

We have spent several hours on the phone trying to get in contact with someone who actually knows and who can explain what is happening with this claim. We have spent almost R2000 on airtime to do this and still we have no outcome.

It has now been almost 3 months.

Can someone who knows what they are doing and who can assist in getting this sorted, please phone my husband on ***.

Good day

It has been two days since I last posted and asked for assistance with this matter. My husband still hasn't had anyone contact him regarding this. Should we take this to the Ombudsman for assistance?

Good day

It has been a whole week since my first post.

As per usual, nothing has been done, no feedback has been given.

If this is not sorted out by Friday, Old Mutual will leave us with no other option and we will contact the Ombudsman.

Regards
