Sanlam saga - worst service ever

Sanlam has been messing me (and my broker) around for the last 2 months. I cancelled my life insurance in July they proceeded to debit order in August but promised me that they will reverse it by 25 August. Needless to say no monies yet. Also I moved my annuities to Stanlib which was a section 14. The debit orders again in writing was 'stopped'. Today they took monies without my concent. Now I am out of pocket over R20000. And no communication from Sanlam. Had to hold over 40mins to a call centre. I will never ever invest, trust or do anything with Sanlam ever ever again.

Only half my complaint was taken seriously. I have still not received my refund. Sanlam is shifting blame instead of taking responsibly. I am awaiting the following:
A formal letter from Sanlam on a letterhead with an apology.
A refund of my life insurance ****** out of my account in August.
I am also waiting for written proof that there will be no further debit orders.

I will also post this to facebook.
