No care

I received a call a few months ago from Platinum life regarding a female cancer policy, at the time I was unemployed. During the phone call (which should be recorded) I told the representative I was unemployed and in no position to take out a policy at that stage. The lady was persistent and proceeded to tell me that the first debit would only be going off in about 3 months time and perhaps by then my circumstances would change. I requested that she rather call me back in a few months. Following this I emailed requesting that the policy be cancelled as after the waiting period I am sadly still not employed. Ignoring this, Platinum life has STILL gone ahead and debited my account, taking from monies that is to keep the roof over mine and my children's heads!! I have phoned numerous times to have this debit returned, only to be promised a call back to have the issue resolved. Three or more weeks later and nothing!! In today's times this is completely unacceptable! No matter the amount of money, the fact is that this company put me in a stressful position with no interest nor care to resolve it.

Dear Merle, 

I have received you review and I am so sorry to hear about the experience you had. 

Kindly note that as per your conversation with our team on the 5th of September 2022, the policy has been cancelled as requested. A refund has also been arranged, but we do need to wait for confirmation from the bank. This is scheduled to be paid tomorrow. 

I have requested the call made to you regarding the policy and will gladly send it through with feedback as soon as it has been received. Our policies are always optional and you should never feel pressured into taking it out. 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with 

Kind Regards

Good day Simone,

Thank you for your response.

Understandably I currently have little to no faith until the matter is fully resolved. As soon as it is, I will be sure to post an update.
