Pathetic service from Sanlam
All my policies and life covers are at Sanlam. I've been a loyal customer for years without claiming. I only have policies for people who are my immediate family. Am the bread winner and my mothers help My cousin who stayed with my mom for over 3 years past away few weeks ago. When his grandparents died who was responsible for him he went around and stayed with some family until he was sick and no one wanted him, so my mother took him in. We cared for him as our own and took him as a brother. Before he stayed at my mom, some people got a hold of his ID and also took out policies. When he passed away my mother was generous enough give the papers to these people. I also had a policy at Sanlam for him.
Very ironic, Sanlam paid out all of these people but not me. I was responsible for all the expenses before the funeral. I made loans for petrol money to assist my mom, like I said am her bread winner. They kept on calling my mom to confirm if I was her daughter and my mom kept on saying that I am, my mom told them that I am responsible for her and helped her with most of the stuff. Another funny part is, someone who came after the funeral and told my mom she had a policy, claimed and they paid her out.
I had the worst experience with Sanlam and still paying back loans. What was the use of taking out a funeral cover if one can't use the money for the funeral??? They called me once and when I said how unhappy I was for not receiving my money. The agent drop the phone in my ear.

I have received no communication from them any further. Seems like the trade of Sanlam is just take our premiums and make empty promises.

I've received a message last week already said that you have received the email, one of your automatic messages.
Seems like you are delaying the process on purpose. I have not received any communication from you beside here on the website.
Your services are really pathetic, no one have called. Another person have once again claimed for the same persons 2 weeks after the funeral from your company and that person have received they money.
What is the problem with my claim? Years of having policies with you. Does this mean that all my claims will be handled like this? All the stress I had to endure with the funeral and helping my mother and now I also have to fight for a cover I've paid without any hastle. This is pathetic and insensitive

Am tired of fighting this.It's been weeks and I have the worst experience with Sanlam.
One is not supposed to fight duringa grieving time for a money that are there to make the arrangements of funeral easy. Have I know this would be the case I would have never opened a funeral cover.
Rest assure I will cancel all my policies and never have to deal with this
