Old Mutual, you take take take and never give

Old Mutual sucks big time! I have been applying for my Premium Holidays since November 2024. I have on numerous occasions submitted the required documents and everytime I get an email or sms stating "in order to finalise your request, submit documents via email or whattsapp" I have submitted via whattsapp and emailm as per their request. But yet, I received notification that the Premium Holidays have been approved last month, but still have not received my premiums back from Old Mutual. Last week and again this morning received an sms stating that I must submit the documents. How many more times must I submit? What the hell Old Mutual? They are so quick to take your money and sign you up for their products but when you need them they are nowhere to assist you. They couldn't assist me the phone when I called the call centre, so how the heck can i get this sorted? My first indication that they do not do as promised was when I had to claim for my mothers funeral and they only paid out after the funeral ( I had submitted all the reuquire documents), nowhere near their 48 hour turn around time, I am very frustrated and am currently looking for a different provider for my needs as Old Mutual sucks!! Take, take, take, but never give or assist you when needed!!!

I trust this will be resolved ASAP as you can imagine there is a reason for me requesting this premium holiday, last year already.
Looking forward to a prompt resolution

I am extremely unhappy with Old Mutuals email sent to me regarding this issue. How the heck does it take 30 to 35 working days for my premiums to be refunded to me? What is the point in offering this option to your clients? It cannot seriously take 6 weeks for you to process something like this when it takes you just days to debit a person's account once we sign up with you people!

Clearly Old Mutual is full of lies and empty promises as well as being greedy to just take your money! It's been 37 working days and still no repayment of my premiums has been received! This is honestly the worst service from such a so called prominent company. I am disgusted in Old Mutual's "customer service". Wonder what lie I will be spun now again. This company really thinks nothing of a person!

So when is your Old Mutual Protect Department and Delia Smit from Customer Complaints going to fix this issue?
Or will I be fed more stories and copy paste answers?
Pathetic honestly that now I don't get feedback
