We have 2 home loans with Standard bank and they both are insured by Standard bank Insurance. Every year Standard bank used to send us the value of the Insurances. One of the houses was vandalized around the same period my husband was retrenched and couldn't pay the bond for 3 months but he got a loan from another bank to pay for those 3 months. Standard bank insurance only paid 10% of the value of the insurance which didn't cover all expense we incurred in reparin the house. Standard bank continues to collect premiums for the Insurance but never paid out in full, the never even refunded the extra money we spent from our own pockets for the repairs to the house. They no longer send correspondence informing us of the value of the insurance anymore.

After all that, Standard bank has resolved to put a Default Judgement under our name despite the fact that their insurance never paid out and we paid off the 3 months we defaulted with a loan acquired from another bank. Please pay us the remainder (90%) of the Insurance pay-out on the house and clear our name from Default Judgement. We know banks are very powerful and untouchable but that doesn't give you the right to bully the very consumers you need to operate!!!

Reviewer Update
Today is the 22nd December 2021 and there hasn’t been any follow up from Standard Bank to date. We tried and tried many times to request Standard bank insurance to pay us, but nothing ever materialised until today. We now have 3 unpaid claims for Standard bank and the 2 house bonds that we had with them are both paid up. We, therefore, hold no hopes of ever getting paid by Standard Bank because everyone knows that banks are a law unto themselves because they refused to pay when we were still paying off the bonds so I suppose that now that we paid up, they don’t have anything associating them with us. We might as well forget it but we can’t but every dog has his day!!! I know that I am a drop in the ocean, just a stubborn stain but you have hurt us so deeply and that still has a ripple effect on our lives to this day but one day, as untouchable as you are, you’ll reap what you sow!!!
