Not happy with service

Assupol does not pay claims within 24- 48 hours as they claim!!!

I lost 3 Family members within a span of a week, which two I have insured with Assupol. They paid the one claim ****erally 72 hours after the claim)but we still waiting for another payout. We called them yesterday but the consultant couldn’t help as she was in a rush to knock off.

It’s been 3 days now and we did mention to the consultant that the funeral is TODAY (Saturday 17th October)

Received an sms that says it will take 7 working days!
7 days for a claim that was supposed to be processed within 24 hours, you guys are a joke. In time of grieving and we treated like this, I’m beyond dissatisfied.

Why do you guys not communicate, how far are you with resolving the matter?
What is the hold up?
Why did the claim not pay in the 24 hours as promised?

You’ve been taking me from pillar to post for no reason at all! You don’t want to pay and are making excuses! There’s no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t have paid me already NONE.

You just don’t want to pay!

There’s absolutely nothing you guys are doing, you are dragging this on purpose. You don’t want to pay for whatever reason!!! If you aren’t able to pay claims of more than one person, then why are you allowing us to take insurances for more people!

Yesterday you took money from our account for what reason?

Your policy is payable on the 20th of each month for the cover held from the first day to the last day of that month. The death occurred on 8 Oct. For this reason the premium for the cover held in October was deducted.

For what reason when we already made a claim?

You people are ridiculous!

My husband called your agent Abongile, who was once again rude and didn’t want to hear what my husband had to say. He didn’t want to tell us when the status of the call and the reason for the hold on the funds.

It’s clear that Assupol Life as a company is looking for a reasons not to pay this claim but there are no merits or grounds for you not to pay. You are trying all tricks in the book insurance who do not want to pay for claims. First it was the account number now it’s the forensic and even with all the investigation you are doing - the process has not been transparent, fair nor has it been to the best interest of us as a client.

Good day, the claim will be finalised before the close of business today. At claims stage it was noted that the incorrect relationship to the deceased was provided when the policy was app**** for. This resulted in the delay of the claims assessment process and finalisation. Our sincere apology for any unintentional frustration caused.
