ASSUPOL POOR COMMUNICATION AND HELP

I have struggled to get help, i submitted documentation on the 8th March to Assupol, i have subsequently followed up by mail on the 11th march (2 mails sent) and the 12th March (2 mails sent) the 13th March , mails sent, I have Sent SMS after SMS to your line 41366, , I have contacted them on FB messenger asking for help and assistance . I have called their offices to ask for help , to be told the matter shall be escalated. I have given them times to call, which fall on deaf ears. I do not know what to do to get some form of help . It remains an mystery as to how you actually get some form of help. We have confirmed there is a policy for my Late Mother. All claim forms < ID , Death Notice , Bank details have been sent thru to Assupol but DO YOU THINK THEY RESPOND , No. It is sad that when you need them to assist they don't . Their turnaround time is 48 Hours . It is definitely not the case in getting a response. My next avenue is to approach the insurance ombudsman for help . I am just getting nowhere . Luckily for me i was able to settle my Moms funeral costs myself . If we were waiting on this to be paid out it would be a disaster

Thank you Assupol, it is sad that one has to go to extraordinary lengths to get help. The claim has been settled in full and for that i am grateful. My comments regarding correspondence remain. It is only after you complain that you become a priority. We all have different circumstances , but when a family member has passed your help is essential . Thank you settling the claim today

Dear Sean, thank you for the confirmation. Our apology again for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the undue delayed claim payment. Our claims team is busy implementing a new, more efficient claims system and this is unfortunately accompanied by undue technical challenges beyond our control, leading to possible delayed payments in some instances. Our claims management team is hard at work to correct this. Regards, Assupol Complaints Manager
