Disappointed

On the 10th i did submit my papers for funeral claim, i received a call on Monday stating my application was received and is on process, I must wait 24 to 48 hours, now is Thursday no money, I'm the one calling asking, you don't care about customers, funeral is this coming Saturday, how will i bury my cousin with dignity, when the insurance i trusted is doing this, I'm so stressed and disappointed, i don't know what to do.

I received a letter that states my claim is selected for audit purposes, which i don't understand why coz in the policy it doesn't show if i put a claim it will go for audit it only says 24 to 48 hours, I'm really disappointed, it simply means i will bury my cousin without Assupol Funeral Policy paid.
I'm really disappointed in Assupol i must think about my policies and life cover with you, it shows you are here to deepen the pain not to help or serve the clients.

Good day,  our claims department aims to pay all valid claims within 48 hours and in most cases are able to do so. Unfortunately in some cases, we need to investigate claims in more detail.  A claim will be randomly selected to further validate the claim and once all the details of the death, funeral and relationship has been validated, the claim will be finalised. This process is in line with our claims procedure and the system selects claims at random. We refer to the second page of the death claim form which you completed, signed and submitted. At the bottom of the page, there is a declaration which provides Assupol with the authorisation to obtain information from other persons or entities necessary to finalise the claim. The investigation falls within this permission.

I'm really shocked coz when i joined the policy it wasn't there and when you deducted R2000 something every month since 2021,you never validate the members on the policy or obtain the information from other persons or entities or my relationship with them, but when we claim it's when you come with this statement wow Haikhona Assupol yhaa nhe, but i have learned my lesson.

Why is this information knowing it when we claim but when you were selling your policies you didn't say it worse even in your policy documents is not there, you enjoy deducting our money, but when we claim for the funeral, it's a long process, Assupol doesn't bury our loved ones with dignity,it creates a trauma for us, now i have loans to settle while you were busy deducting R2000 something per month since 2021.

No you don't understand paying a insurance from 2021 till today paying more than R2100 per month then when it's time for them to do as they promised, they cause a double pain, i buried my cousin with loans while i trusted Assupol that it will bury him with dignity, I'm too disappointed in you, now I'm the one calling asking how far is the claim, since 10th February 2023, yesterday you **** and now again i must go to funeral parlour and say what again, what excuses will i use, I'm really really really disappointed in you, i think our journey is starting to shake now

I'm the one who is contacting Assupol since day one, Even today i contacted them because you guys said funds will be in late yesterday evening or morning today, this is the most horrible experience i have ever had in my life, I trusted Assupol and I didn't listen those who said my day will come, and indeed it has arrived, if it doesn't get in before 12 then know that tomorrow morning i will be in your offices closing the chapter we had
