Horrible Customer service

Assupol is the pits, going through people's reviews is heart breaking to say the least and all they can say is a generic response that doesn't provide a resolution. in March 2024 my dad passed away and in May 2024 we submitted a claim an investigator got in touch and visited our house asking questions which was cool, a month later I called him and asked why we haven't heard anything then he said he doesn't work for assupol he is a resource from a third party, he then said if I want to follow up I should contact assupol directly. Little did I know that this would be a one sided conversation, I've called numerous times since then and sent dozens of emails with no reply. Am not sure why no one is ensuring clients are prioritised, how is it okay that emails are being sent and no one is assigned to work on the mail box, its now October 2025 and the claim is still not paid.

I’ve since been contacted by Assupol with a lame explanation that the individual who worked on my claim had resigned (remember i made the submission 2024 ) thats why there was no communication. The matter is still pending and the wait continues.

Still no feedback received, the investigator assigned to my case has concluded and submitted his report yet Assupol has not said anything. My dad’s house is going on Auction and there is nothing we can do about it since the money at Assupol is still not paid even though the claim was submitted over a year ago.

Issue still not resolved, someone called only to tell me they will give me a call last week and nothing was said ever since. Assupol does not take clients seriously nor do they care even after mentioning that our home is going to be auctioned.
