Shocking support on retirement investment on a company of your stature,

I have a retirement policy with Sanlam. This is my third attempt to obtain some clarity on an issue that I am encountering. From about three weeks ago, I could log into the app or the website successfully, but no portfolio information is being displayed.. This was explained clearly. Mariska Davids responds showing me that my log in was successful! Really, this incompetence is shocking..my login was successful, but portfolio views were absent!. I further logged another complaint at the weekend...now I cannot even log in at all (both app and website)...seems as if my log in credentials have been changed. I still have not received any call to discuss this issue. Thus far, Sanlam's customer support is shockingly lacking and disappointing. If there has been changes for whatever reason, the common sense response would be to at least try and communicate these amendments to the client...my crystal ball is not functioning currently.

Reviewer Update
Unfortunately Sanlam still does not quite grasp the concept of customer support and communication...and probably never will. On 10 November I received a call and an email from Divesh Desai acknowledging an issue from their IT section and promised to resolve this and provide a suitable login into the website and app in the next few days. On 14November, I received a mail providing instruction on logging in. This was done and i could log into the website and mobile app. However, upon logging in, the pension details could not be found, and an error was thrown when trying to retrieve this information. I immediately sent Divesh Desai an email informing him about this...and to this date he has never responded.
Just by chance I tried again today and found it now works. It is absolutely acceptable that your support staff cannot follow through with queries and provide responses. Sanlam may profess Client care, support and resolution, but due to their *********** employees and erratic IT systems, they certainly fall dismally short of this promise...good luck in staying in business going forward. I will certainly never recommend Sanlam to anyone I know and will shortly look into taking my business elsewhere.
