Totally *********** staff - Gratuity fund pay out

I have app**** end of March for my gratuity pay out after my resignation. My HR requested the forms already in February. I follow up every second day and it is very clear Sanlam staff do not know the business. After submitting the claim I had to make several calls just for them to link it to my profile, then they informed me all is well I will get my pay out within 10 days as it was submitted to Sars, the next day they say we submitted incorrect forms.... keep in mind that was the forms they gave us. It took them an week of calls and emails before we received correct forms, then we used incorrect heading.......I mean really...a heading.....then they need additional screenshot from HR as proof I resigned..new story, even though my HR and I submitted proof of bank details, they need again screen shot of my banking details from my HR. To date I have phoned 53 times and numerous emails, still no joy however they swamp me with SMS asking if I want new policy......really!!!!!!! Maybe they should start by training the call center staff first.

Reviewer Update
My issue is still not resolved, it seems the problem is with the specialist Mphephu Sathekge that is on my case, please explain how come he/she is never available to actually do the work. Now according to the trainee consultant the HR print screen that was emailed by my HR and again forwarded by myself on 4 May is still not attached to my profile, and if I don't phone, nothing is happening. Do I need to drive to Sanlam to get things done? Are they going to reimburse me for the expenses on the phone calls. I know my issue was escalated on the 7th however I see one of two problems, either Mphephu don't gives an rats ass about their job or management or Sanlam have managers that do not have any authority?
