Poor service and lack of response

I have called their claims department holding on for a total of 46 min today. I out of desperation tried to reset my password to see if I could track my claim on my flexi invest account also with no luck. I went onto their website for someone to call me back no response. I do not usually mail a complaints department or use platforms like Hello Peter to complain, but it looks like there is no other way. My claim has been submitted on the 18th of January 2021 and not once did I get feedback to inform me that is in process. This is not TCF. On the 28th I submitted more documents that was requested still no Feedback.

When submitting a complaint on their website this is the message you get easy way to pass the bucket.

A previous claim was also a mess and took forever to payout.

Reviewer Update
A lady from Old Mutual did call me asking if the policy was for my deceased mother. My mother died 10 years ago. The lady that she thought to be my mother was not as it was a person I don't even know. I made 15 calls to various number to get hold of anyone that is able to assist me, but no answer or you are kept waiting. Your service is poor and I will make sure that everybody knows this. I am no further than yesterday. This is not treating customer fairly and I will report it to the FSCA.
