*****, Useless and Poor service

*****, Useless and Poor service

I submitted a funeral claim on the 23 January 2023, I have been taken from one angle to another. Full of lies and empty promises, hopeless complaint process. I visited the Assupol office in Kuruman town more than 10 times, clueless staff, they referred me to contact the national office. I spent over 200 airtime on calls, I called, no one was available to assist, I was listening to their call center holding music until my airtime ran out. I sent an email to the complaint department on 01/02/2023. Complaint personnel also made false claims that I was long paid. After 3 days of not getting any money I sent another email to indicate there’s still no money paid. Complaint personnel then requested a bank statement, then realised there’s still no money paid. I had to send another follow up email, only then she indicated that the matter had been escalated to the claims department. They are causing double pain for the grieving people, selling deceits and empty promises. They are still debiting my account for a policy that I sent a claim for, how insane is that? I called, sent numerous emails, every time they say the money is paid but still today Dololo. I'm done with this useless Assupol

Good day Aobakwe, thank you for your review. The case was already registered under complaint number 34691 and I am busy reviewing the reasons for the delay in resolving it. My sincerest apology for the undue frustration caused by this matter. I noted that the claim was paid to your Capitec account on 03 Feb 2023, but need confirmation from our claims team as to why it does not reflect in your account. I am in communication with our senior claims management team, to have this matter resolved with urgency. Our further feedback to you on this will be before close of business today. Kind regards, Assupol Complaints Manager

Best regards,

I’m just hoping that this is not yet another false promise. Also please make sure debit order for this policy stopped and this month debit is reversed. surprisingly you Guys still debited my account for a policy that I submitted claim for. I will also appreciate if this month debit is reversed asap. This claim has caused me financially and emotionally. Very draining and painful process.

I still need further clarity as to why you initially said money is paid when it was not in my account, what was the real cause of the delay?

Good day, I have requested the proof of payment from our Finance and Claims department and will have this sent to you as soon as possible.   It seems to be a technical/system issue between the bank and Assupol may have caused the initial rejection. The correct banking detail were used with the initial payment though. We will also be in communication with you regarding the cancellation of the policy and February premium payment. Regards

Best regards,
