SANLAM GAP COVER NIGHTMARE

I am lodging a complaint regarding the shockingly poor handling of my Sanlam claim, reference number ***, initiated on 15 September 2025. Despite having submitted all required documents promptly, I have been subjected to an unnecessarily prolonged and frustrating process due to repeated and inconsistent requests for the same documents.

The claims assessor failed to properly review my entire claim file, which has led to repeated document requests, causing delays and inconvenience. After multiple emails and phone calls, I spoke to Lungani on 3 October, who confirmed receipt of all documents and assured me the matter would be escalated. However, no action was taken.

On 9 October, I spoke to Tumi, who also confirmed that everything was in order and promised to escalate and provide feedback. Yet again, no feedback or resolution was forthcoming. Later that same day, I called again and spoke to Shanaid, but my concerns were still not addressed effectively.

This lack of responsiveness and failure to follow through on promises to escalate my claim has caused unnecessary stress and delay in processing my valid claim. I expect Sanlam to urgently rectify this by providing a clear update and finalizing my claim without further delay.

Good day, no I have not spoken to any of your agents. First time they called unannounced, I was in a meeting. Second time when I answered, nobody spoke. So this query is far from getting resolved. It would be better if I got an email response. This calling at random times unannounced presumes that I am able to talk.

Yes, but their feedback is incorrect. They pay only R 9050 according to the nexgen brochure. But my option Flexigen 1 is covered for R 15 540 according to the brochure. So I am entitled to be reimbursed fully

I have just received my statement and the amounts on the statement are all zero. What does this mean? Was it not approved?

Morning. The e-mail is well received, but they state that I paid will be paid on the next 'pay run'. This is vague and I don't know what it means. Given the delay in finalising this claim, I need an exact date when I will receive my money.

No, this mailbox is a general one with a turnaround time of 2 working days. It is a general mailbox and does not belong to a specific person. Their answer will probably be another vague meaningless response. Yet another delay. I need a proper answer please with the exact date.
