Two Pot System Nightmares

So far, my experience with Old Mutual with the whole application of the two pot system process is quite appalling to say the least.

I app**** on the Whatsapp System on the 16th of September 2024 (Monday) when I noticed I could withdraw from my savings pot. I then emailed asking for a progress update or report yesterday. No feedback at all.

I then messaged on Facebook Messenger to Old Mutual and asked for assistance. They have given me a contact number to contact that I could follow up on the progress on my application. I phoned them and tried to get a progress report from a consultant. They said they cannot give an update regarding withdrawals. A bit frustrating not to know where the application is in progress.

I notified them on Facebook Messenger and they asked me for my details then yesterday.

Up till now, no feedback or anything. It's like pulling teeth to gather any form of feedback. Absolutely appalling and painful.

I even checked on the Facebook posts and Old Mutual's website. I can't even check there.

Can there please be proper assistance and service given from Old Mutual in any way?

Good morning,
I hope you are doing well.

I got an email from Old Mutual's complaints department, as I had explained in my Hellopeter complaint, I am unable to view the status of my withdrawal application on the app, website and also tried to phone and was given a complete different story by a consultant that they can't give feedback on withdrawals.

I am frustrated with this being directed from pillar to post to get an answer.
Please advise where my application is with my savings pot withdrawal, etc. 
Reference number for withdrawal is CEC***8.

Kind Regards
