BAD SERVICE FROM SANLAM (Claim number 376375 and policy number ***X4)

Good day, Claim number 376375 and policy number ***X4 I would like to express my disappointment in the way Sanlam has not assisted me with regards my claim after the passing away of my father, the above policy was on premium debt for the other months, and we made payments afterwards which we asked Sanlam to rectify on their side. Now that my father passed away we are given excuses and it looks like someone is not doing their job on that side, they claim that we are behind which is not the case, we have also sent them all documents that they require as proof that we are up-to-date. I was in communication with their office in Cape town they said I must wait, up until when is the question, we had to borrow money from people to bury our father.

PEOPLE BECAREFUL WITH SANLAM AND RATHER CHANGE TO OLD MUTUAL, THAT WHAT I AM THINKING OF DOING NOW, WITH ALL MY POLICIES.

Good day Sanet,
I would like this to be escalated to your higher management as you have not done your job on your side by doing a proper investigation, if you look at the timelines you can clearly see that documentation was sent even before the time L****n Joseph Kamfer passed on even the payments were made then. Hence, I request this matter to be escalated to management for a proper investigation as Nkosazana from Cape town has been liaising with your office regarding this matter, you are not providing any facts from your response below and giving any indication in terms of WHY, HOW, WHEN, WHO, all you are saying is the below information almost like you are dealing with an illiterate individual. Even the spelling of my late father is not spelled correctly almost like we are being ridiculed here.
I need to speak to your manager at complains ASAP my mobile ***
Kind regards,
L Kamfer

Good day
The first time we called in you said the policy is behind for 6 months, we took a premium debt for that period which is part of your policy. In the month of March, I paid cash and April including May 2022, the debit order form was signed on 29th April, I sent the proof of payment to Sanlam where we requested that you rectify the payment since my reference of the payment was incorrect, furthermore to this the premium was never implemented to the policy.
Again we called in to check in why the debit order was inactive that was even before my father passed away, the response was that the monies which were done cash will be allocated to the policy and the debit order was sent explaining the premium debt for the month the policy was behind , since you guys say no premium no cover there was a premium paid in March while my father was still alive.
Even now you have not updated your system whereas premiums for March were paid including April, go back to the paper trails we have sent you and you will see that March, April, and May, and the other months I qualified for premium debt as per your policy.
If only the premium for March was implemented, we would not have this problem. The error was on your side as the system was not updated. I was never informed that my money that I paid was still hanging putting this out Sanlam at fault.
Hence, I want management to intervene here as you *********** agents.

Good day,

Today I was sent an email with a contract confirming that the payments I made in March are only app**** today, how is that possible?

This is exactly my argument and I hope this will be finalised today.
