Sanlam intentionally ignoring my issue

I have never come across a company that's as disorganised and inefficient as Sanlam. First they took about two months to pay my withdrawal from their pension fund, and now they have issued an incorrect directive. I can't submit my tax returns because the lump sum amounts on my IRP5 and tax directive don't match. It has been two weeks and I have not received a single response from them. Everytime I call their client centre, they tell me they have sent the person who deals with my claim an email, an absolute **** show.

Update: It's 24 hours later and I still don't have a response to my complaint, even after they have "escalated" the matter. Pathetic

What you need to understand is that I have already been waiting for two weeks now, and telling me to wait another 7 days is absolutely pathetic. I want to know why my matter has received no attention whatsoever, and making me wait for an additional period is evidence that don't understand the urgency of the matter or simply don't give a damn. People need to know how you're treating the your clients so they can avoid such mistreatment
