No feedback given

How I wish these people can just transfer the money to Alexander Forbes so I can cut all ties with them,here we go again.

I have sent through a request at Sanlam Trust in December for school fees, uniform, stationery and other things.I always call just to check if all is in order which they said it's fine as the request is still within the turn around time I was ohk with that.

Then come January I get an email on the 6th from Simone asking me to provide a certain document which I immediately did and asked if it was sufficient but yes as usual she didn't respond.Tbey will send you emails when you respond they don't get back to you,I tried sending her countless emails to check if all is well before schools open but still nothing.

I tried calling the call centre and it's hard to get through you must call 7 times before they answer and they are rude and unprofessional nothing has changed.i called and they said they will get back to me but never did,I called again on the on the 7th and spoke to Fiona who then said they are offline and she took my details to give me feedback.She did not disclose as to how long I will wait for feedback and who the feedback will come from (department not individual).

I then decided to call again on the 8th and met a rude lady very unprofessional who wanted to know explain something Fiona should have I only wanted to know far they are with my request and nothing else as I have to go to school to pick up uniform before school opens.

It's Friday today they're knocking off early won't be working until Monday I'm here stranded with no answers I would really like to cut ties with Sanlam yet they refuse I'm forced by them to do business with them that only benefits them.

It's Tuesday the 13th of January 2026 yes Sanlam called me back but my daughter still has no , uniform, stationery not paid, transport not paid etc in other words I'm still not helped.I tried reaching out today with fail my calls are not answered I also sent an email I got no response I'm not sure if they are busy with my query or not.

Schools are opening tomorrow imagine if this was your child, stationery is supposed to be dropped off at school today but she doesn't have it not sure if she will go to school tomorrow that time she is starting at a new school going to High school I'm so hurt.

My daughter did not go to school today because school feeds, registration and transport was not paid ,I was told payment was Only processed yesterday and I asked for proof of payment today so she can go attend on Thursday.

Can you believe it's now 17h50 and still Simone Ventelyn hasn't sent me any proof of payment as she promised this means my child is supposed to miss school again tomorrow while her kids are in class??

This is unacceptable please remember you are trusted to do what is best for the beneficiary but now you are mistreating her in sad and furious as a parent what am I supposed to do? You never attend to our queries you just pretend to care just to shut us up.

I have said if this is too much for you please close that account let me move whatever that is left to a company that knows how to treat it's clients and takes pride in serving us.

School fees not paid because of a ****.I have been complaining for over a week now to Sanlam and still to date no help has been given to me,I had call everyday I send emails which they ignore,Simone Ventylene is a **** I don't even want to speak to her anymore,her kids are now in class mine is home.

Getting help from Sanlam is like making a bank loan because they are transparent and never give feedback ,I had to fight just to get stationery and uniform now it's school fees this **** Simone said payment has been processed on the Tuesday the 13th of January and I had pleaded with her that schools are opening the child won't be admitted at the new school without paying registration fee and school fees.

She said she will send proof of payment until now nothing my child has not yet been to school from yesterday I only got stationery money on Tuesday night and school opens the following day now how the hell am I supposed to get those necessities in such a short space of time?? Her children are probably in class if she has any what about mine whom is supposed to be catered for?

I have been calling her she ignores me because she knows she **** to me because just called now and the call centre confirmed that school fees has not yet been paid it is still waiting to be authorised,by who exactly? I sent my quotation on time but still I'm here again complaining and I know chances of me getting help are very slim it means if I'm lucky my daughter will only go to school next week Tuesday all because of an *********** ****.

I'm tired very tired of Sanlam please close that account give me my money il open a trust account somewhere I'm tired of writing reviews because all of you don't want to do your job.

What the hell must I do for you to release those funds because I am now being held at your company captive I don't want to do business with Sanlam anymore relapse my money please.

I hope you all meet people who are exactly like you in the future if possible you are horrible human beings with no empathy.
