Santam just dont care

I cancelled my insurance with santam in February 2019, beginning March they still took an instalment which they then had to refund, they assured me that the refund will be made by the 15th of March because they needed to verify that the payment didn't bounce, after numerous phone calls to them and even more excuses I still have not been refunded it is now 25 March, I wonder how many times Santam does this to customers who have cancelled and then use that money to keep on dealing. I think it's highly ********* and they just don't care how it impacts the customer financially. I am extremely disappointed with Santam and I would suggest potential customers look elsewhere for an insurance quote

I have sent an email to your Market Conduct Department with all relevant details. yet no answers. I have spent countless time on a phone with false promises of a refund, but its just the same story, we will look into it, the problem is you have been looking into it for a month and no answers. the problem here is SANTAM does not really care about the small guy. Santam does not care that south African citizens are already under immense financial pressure and that when something like this happens it might overdraw a clients bank account. Santam does not care that I wanted to buy a new car this month and now my bank account reflects negatively because a amount that should not have gone off did go off. Santam does not care that I am struggling through a month because their incompetence has caused me to have to go through a month without money I budgeted for something else. All in all it boils down to SANTAM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT THEMSELVES !!!!!!!
