Sanlam Life Aunnuity *******

I have never thought that a big company like Sanlam are ********. They ****med my father out of his pension fund and they are refusing to pay him back his money claiming that he signed a contract. The consultant that assisted him with the policy took advantage of the fact that my father can't read nor write English, therefore she decided to take more money than he has asked her to and after the money was paid, he noticed that she ****med him and she decided that she will not get involved. Sanlam is refusing to assist my father, saying he has signed the contract. If he has an issue, he must take it up with the Ombusdman. What i know is the ombudsman will not assist him because they will say he signed, forgetting the fact that their consultant took more money than what my father had asked to invest.

Dear Ntsika 

Sanlam attended to the complaint previously and if you and your dad  is not happy with the feedback received, you have the option to refer your complaint to the FAIS Ombudsman or the Sanlam arbitrator.  Sanlam also provided an option that if Alexander Forbes agreed to it, Sanlam are prepared to pay the funds back and they can assist your father further.

Kind regards

Alexander Forbes is refusing to take the money back, so what do we do then in that case? your consultant made the error and she decided she will not get involved, then in that case what happens? The ombudsman will not assist in this case because they will say my father signed the contract which he was under the impression that he is signing what he had agreed on with Ashen kruger, not knowing that she was taking almost all his pension fund instead of what was agreed on. The consultant has the upper hand, because she will say why didn't he read before signing, My father cant read English, he trusted that Ashne Kruger will do the right thing and take only the 500k as he had requested, but she didn't do that. How is the ombudsman going to assist? when you have already taken your consultants word against my father. The only thing that was done in this case was to look at what the contract say, not what the client says happened.How unfair is that? give him his money back and cut your ties with him, since he feels he was ****med by your consultant and now she has gone awol. He has been at the Sanlam offices almost daily and she is nowhere to be found. She also **** on her on her statement and said he understands English very well, whereas she knew he doesn't.
