Disappointed client

I submitted a claim for a cousin on the 22/08/22. They said they would pay out within 48hrs. After 72hrs I did a follow up. Still no one knew anything. On the 4th day I started sending emails and enquiring about the claim. I sent an email to the compalimts manager Jacolien Potgieter even. They did escalate my complaint. On the 27th I received an email telling me that they will validate the claim. The people went to the deceased home and my workplace. Today is the 31/09/2022 and I still haven't recieved any money. The funeral is on the 3rd. I never anticipated such especially with assupol as this is my first time ever claiming. They have been deducting money from my persal without fail now when it's time for them to deliver they they're failing. My faith has gone from 10 to zero. My policy number is AL***.

I'm so close at cancelling all my products with assupol and move them to Old mutual. As I know this is a competitive industry. I'm so upset with assupol.

Good day Piwe, I refer to my previous direct e-mails to you on this matter and confirm again that we will provide the outcome of the claim as soon as possible. The validation of the claim is an important part of the assessment, to ensure that valid claims are paid, in line with the policy provisions. In some instances this might unfortunately cause a slight delay. Regards, Assupol Complaints Manager

It still doesn't make sense why these validations are not done upon taking a policy. Why now when you guys are supposed to do the pay out? My first experience claiming with you guys is bad...infact it's a nightmare.
