Sanlam does not deliver!!

In 2019 I signed up for a life policy at Sanlam (under Sanlam Indie) @ the time signing up , I was told after 5 years I would get a cash back bonus / wealth bonus . My 5 years has now arrived and I qualify for this bonus . Sanlam Indie has since migrated their polices so now there is complete confusion about how to obtain this bonus/ our Sanlam Policies in general . I’ve spoken to 4 advisors and none of them have an answer as to how I can withdraw this benefit . My emails have not even been answered correctly , an advisor by the name of Zama just keeps sending me my policy documents without addressing the query . Everytime I call into the call centre (which is atleast a 25 minute wait on a call resulting in no answers ) I’m told they will escalate the matter . I’m very very concerned about the inadequate service and confusion - what will happen when I die and my loved ones need to access the life policy payout ? Why would Sanlam be on time to debit every month but can’t deliver on the services . I will be escalating this issue as far as possible and will be in touch with Long Term Ombudsman

I also just received an email by an agent by the name of Maloon stipulating that they have no set time frame for when the issue will be dealt with . Why would Sanlam gamble with peoples life policy and migrate when they clearly do not have the capacity to do this migration ??? Surely they should’ve anticipated normal queries Sanlam Indie clients would have or was the idea to keep taking premiums hoping people would not want to access services !!
