Funeral claim was never paid by Assupol Life

I submitted a funeral claim on 2025/03/24 up to this day 2025/04/10 I have not been paid by Assupol instead they claim my claim was processed and paid and I never received any money from them so they said I must submit my bank statement to prove that I never received the money since submitting the bank statement on 2025/04/01

Date of birth of the deceased is 1983/11/17 and I already gave you guys the policy number so I really don’t understand this because all the details are in the review it’s just that Assupol treat their clients poorly and now that I have written my review on HelloPeter Assupol is responding whereas I have been sending and calling Assupol for the past two weeks they don’t even respond they don’t give any feedback it’s really sad how we insure our loved ones so that when they pass away we don’t have to make loans to bury them but still the funeral was on 2025/03/29 but I was never paid my claim despite submitting all the required paperwork

This response is what you have been telling me that you made payment but I told you that I never got any payment then you said I must send the bank statement from 01April to 11 April 2025 of which I did but still you did not come back to me after submitting my bank statement which proves that I never got any payments on this account still as I writ this email I have not gotten any payment

Today on 2025/04/25 is exactly a month since submitting my claim for funeral of my sister in law still no payment. On 2025/04/22 you said Assupol will provide me with proof of payment which they have not sent till today. On top of that only today I was asked to send my bank statement for the 3rd time now because on 2025/04 /04 again on 2025/04/11 again today I’m asked to send another bank statement of which I just did send.

Thank you Pamela, I noted your email to our claims assessor with the new bank detail, needed to repay the claim as the previous payment rejected. Our sincerest apology for the delayed resolution of this matter.

I submitted the bank statement that Assupol requested on Friday 25/04/2025 but till today not even an acknowledgment of the receipt of that bank statement let alone the confirmation when will the payment be made. I had to call them again yesterday asking if they received and someone said the Assessor will get back to me . Really this is no way to handle clients. It’s been more than a month I mean a whole month waiting for a funeral claim payment .

The fact that when I write here I get a reply very fast but when I contact them by email they never bother replying is very interesting this means that Assupol only cares about their reputation not the clients. And when they decide to reply on emails their response would something like “Since the client complained on Hellopeter …….,.” As if they are ignoring me on purpose because I came with the complaint on this platform. That is totally wrong we will continue coming on this platform as long as we feel we are being treated poorly
