Claiming policy

I'm trying to make A claim but they are sending me pillar to post asking questions about documents I've sent to them, they don't open my attachments and ask me documents I've already sent to them it's been 3 weeks now I have 4 references from them but no help whatsoever, no calls been answered, when they hear that your claiming then your call will be cut off by transferring to the "relevant person" that is not available always

The first time I enquired about the policy I was told that they do have but as soon as I wanted to claim I they tell me that the policy doesn't exist and was never opened with with so I've sent them a first page of their policy they not answering my email anymore I'm always talking to a new person who acts dump as if it's their first day of work, hence you give us references numbers but they seem useless I'm starting from scratch every time I have to ask or enquire .

They never got contacted me so I'm soo curious is to why when I sent a document from court requesting the amount on that policy they all don't respond back me no matter how many times I I check on them,
IS ASSUPOL DELIBERATELY S**** POLICIES OF PEOPLE HOPING THAT CLAIMANTS MAY HAVE MISSING DOCS SO YOU WONT PAY OUT? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S POLICY? HOW CAN YOU ASK ME TO SEND THE FRONT PAGE OF THE POLICY WHERE AS I'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH THE POLICY NUMBER AND ID OF YOUR CUSTOMER? WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS KIND OF SERVICE?

As the benefits are payable to the Estate of the deceased, we can by law unfortunately not pay it to any other account than the Estate bank account. In terms of the administration of an Estate, there might be claims made against the Estate, that will be paid from the Estate account. For this reason we need the Estate bank account information.

The loss of a loved one is never an easy experience, which is why we have made claiming easy and painless. A valid funeral benefit is paid to you within 24 hours of receiving all claim documentation.

So 24hours actually

Please note that this usually applies to funeral claims without complexities. The policy you submitted a claim on is more complex due to the benefits being payable to the estate. We are doing our utmost best to have this claim processed as quickly as possible.
