We submitted documents at the beginning of December to withdraw funds out of my husband's pension fund, and to move the remaining money into a Sanlam preservation fund. It has now been almost 2 months and we have not had any correspondence from Sanlam, nor any money paid out. The case was escalated by our broker, nothing. I then sent in a complaint form last week, only to be told that someone will get back to me by end of this week? This is absolutely shocking service, it is like trying to find your request in big black hole, no-one knows anything! Surely when a request is received, some kind of tracking number is assigned to it, and someone somewhere must know what the holdup is and why we have been waiting for 2 months? I work for an insurance company myself, and even I cannot believe the lack of communication/action from SANLAM. Can someone from SANLAM please contact my husband about this issue? I am soooooooooo disappointed.....

Hi Sanlam, my husband received a call today, thanks for that, but the news was not what I was hoping for. According to feedback, the request was sitting with your company for almost 2 months and nothing was done thus far. I am hoping that whatever needs to be done, will be expedited and given urgent attention. I am waiting with baited breath to see if you are going to deliver on your promise.

My husband received his money today, after numerous interventions by my SANLAM contact. She did a great job to keep us informed, pity about the delay from the first request was submitted, that is always going to leave a bad impression.
