Worst RA provider in South Africa

The worst RA provider in South Africa by far. I asked for a simple change to my policy and they informed me it would take a month. My other RA providers )(3 different companies) were able to effectively and efficiently do this within 24 to 48 hours. Every time I email Sanlam, I get a computer response instead of a human one. Patthetric company!

A consultant contacted me and told me that I need to complete a form that she will email to me. No form received. Also, Sanlam is the only provider asking a fee for this service. All the other RA providers did this for free but Sanlam wants R1300 to make a simple change to a policy. I asked to speak to a Senior Manager but nobody cared enough to contact me. I will approaching the relevant regulatory bodies and a lawyer to see if this exorbitant fee is allowed. it seems really ***** since none of the other RA providers asked for a fee.
